So how's everyone doing? Still keeping up with the posting?
I'm just over the halfway point in the linky list. I'm still seeing a few blogs where the person apparently forgot they've signed up for the challenge, and there are a few of you who've fallen behind, but not as many as I would have expected.
I remember the first year I did this I started falling behind on the first week, then I caught up on the weekend, only to fall behind again. So I'm kinda proud of the fact that although I'm still behind on the blog visits, I'm up to date on the posting.
I've seen some really interesting blogs so far. Some have incredible photos, some have amazing stories, some have fascinating information. And let's not forget the foodie blogs with their delicious recipes. Of course there are also a few that were totally confusing and a couple that had nothing to do with A to Z.
But I have to say, overall I'm really impressed with the number of quality blogs out there. I've been trying to leave at least a token comment on other blogs, and the really good ones I've bookmarked to return to at my leisure. Wordpress is still giving me problems when it comes to commenting and I still have no idea why. It seems to only happen on the blogs I really, really want to leave a comment on, which is really frustrating.
My goal today is to visit the blogs of the wonderful people who've left comments here. You guys are awesome!

I did it entry-by-entry the first year I did it, and quickly learned that it's exhausting to do it that way. Ever since, I've written each one ahead of time, either all before the challenge starts or at least all by week #2, and it's worked out well. Makes for plenty of time checking out other blogs, too instead of panicking about writing your own. :-P
I came back to check out the answers to yesterday's quiz. I did not have a proficient score! Good luck in the remaining days! Alison, of InkSistersWrite.blogspot
Carol, thanks for dropping by my blog today. You left a link but in fact it doesn't work. Just wanted to let you know.
Haven't read your blog, just off to bed.

Thanks for coming by and visiting my blog! After my first year doing AtoZ (this is my third), I figured out that I was going to need to write the posts ahead of time, and spend the time on visiting other blogs each day. It's still got that marathon-feel, but it feels more do-able this way.

I was surprised to see my initial place on the lsit - around 1000 had changed to around 750, still a lot of us keeping up though
