It's almost October and that means it's time for our annual Blog Ahead Challenge! A full month to blog your heart out and up the number of finished posts you have scheduled.<br /><br />This challenge is amazing for vacation prep, holiday prep, for emergencies or blogger slumps that pop up. Having those extra completed posts has helped keep my blog from going dark many times over the years when life gets in the way of blogging.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />Challenge starts: October 1st<br />Challenge ends: October 31st<br /><br />Goal? Increase your completed post total by 31 posts!<br />(It's okay if you don't make it to the full 31 posts. Getting ahead by any number is a good thing)<br /><br />Ex. If you start Oct 1st with zero completed posts on Oct31 you should have 31 completed posts.<br />
<br />Anyone can join in. New or old bloggers, doesn't matter your blog theme, authors with blogs, etc. Everyone is welcome. We also have a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/693810014043095/" target="_blank">Facebook group</a> for a little extra encouragement!<br />
<br />
So join up and be sure to share with your blogger friends. The more the merrier!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>It's Time To Blog Ahead!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Yall know the drill. Blog Ahead is all about doing exactly that...getting ahead with your blogging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The goal is to increase the number of scheduled (aka finished) posts you have so that if an emergency pops up or vacation or life just gets busy or you simply don't feel like blogging...you have a backup plan in place and your blog won't go dark.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />It has saved my blog many times over the last few years when the herd was sick or I just needed a break but still wanted the blog to be active.<br /><br />It's not an easy challenge but it's pretty amazing to look back at the end of it and go wow I have an entire week (or four!) completely done! No need for rushed 1150pm blogging so posts will be done at midnight. lol<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>This One's A Little Different</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually we have a set time frame for Blog Ahead. This March we're trying something different and instead of a set two week event where everyone starts and finishes on the exact same day we're going flexible.<br /><br />The overall event will begin March 1st and end March 31st.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However you get to pick which weeks you participate. Want to join in for all four weeks? Awesome. Only able to do one week? That's fine, too! Pick whichever week in March works for you and blog your heart out.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Levels</span></b><br />4 week challenge-- Increase your posts by 30</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 week challenge-- Increase your posts by 21</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 week challenge-- Increase your posts by 15</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 week challenge-- Increase your posts by 7 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Add Your Blog!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To sign up just add your blog name below. If you do a blog announcement post link that but otherwise main blog page is fine. You can announce in a separate post or weekly roundups or even just on social media :)<br /><br />Don't forget to add how many weeks you're picking!<br />(ex Anna@herding cats--4 weeks)</div>

How in the world is it almost October already?!<br /><br />But with October brings our month long Blog Ahead challenge!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I <i>love </i>this challenge, yall!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Blogging Ahead has saved my blog over the years. Having that extra cushion of posts that are already done or nearly done keeps my blog going through emergencies, vacations, blogging slumps (I've seriously only formatted like 2 posts in the last 2 months! yikes! but my blog keeps going because of this challenge) and just when life gets busy. It's a huge relief for me to know the blog won't go entirely silent.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />Challenge Begins October 1<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Gist</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This challenge is all about trying. It's okay if you don't make it to 30 additional posts. If you get ahead by 5 posts...that's a win in my book. </div>

Guys! I'm so sorry I never got the May link up posted for the event. Life...went insane with two herd babes trying to go critical on me. Well...going critical on me. We had over 20 vet visits in the last month. Two surgeries (one being extremely risky), tube feeding every 2 hours with one for a week. To say I'm tired...lol<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
We're all home and on the mend though and I'm catching up. Sooooo. If you did the May prompt of Organize please go ahead and link it up below. I promise I'll get June's link up posted at the appropriate time.<br />

Woo! Well we're finally having another mini Blog Ahead! Things got crazy with the herd so I needed to delay it a bit. Hope yall will still join in! If you're new to the event check out the info below!<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blog Ahead is all about helping you get ahead with your blog posts and hopefully eliminating some of the stress that comes with scrambling to get posts completed last minute. It's amazing for getting ready for vacations, school events and a lifesaver when emergencies or blogging slumps hit!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The Goal </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>15 extra posts in your "scheduled" pile </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
On day 1...Look at your number of scheduled posts. Add 15 to that. THAT is the number of scheduled posts you need to have completed when the event ends!<br />
<br /></div>
Ex:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
June 22nd: 5 scheduled posts</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
July 6th: 20 scheduled posts </blockquote>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first Mini Blog Ahead for 2018! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This challenge is all about catching up and getting ahead with your blogging. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blogging can be stressful. Especially when life gets busy with vacations, school, emergencies or when a dreaded blogging slumps hit. Blog Ahead aims at helping cut the stress by blogging ahead and creating a stockpile of scheduled posts that are ready to go when life gets a little crazy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The challenge begins March 24th. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whatever number of posts you have scheduled on that day...add 14 posts and THAT's the goal you're aiming for by the time the challenge ends. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Ex:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
March 23-- you have 5 posts scheduled<br />
April 7-- you have 19 posts scheduled.<br />
<i>*All challenge posts must go live after the event ends to count.</i></blockquote>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a totally new challenge for us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Blog All About It</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's basically a blogging prompt challenge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each month there's a different prompt that you can interpret as you'd like then create a blog post around it.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Example:</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If the prompt is BLUE you could...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
--make a blueberry cobbler</div>

All those review books that somehow slipped through the cracks and just didn't get reviewed when they should have.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just a fun way of making it right and getting those old review copies reviewed.</div>

Review books must be at least 4 months past due to count!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can create a specific list of titles to tackle or just a generic number of titles to complete (ex I'll finish 12 reviews)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
