I do know that some bloggers actually set up another blog as a resource for the challenge, complete with spiffy badge, lists of rules and participants etc. Or they simply use a post on their site with all that information and update it when necessary.<BR/><BR/>As far as actual participation goes each blogger typically keeps a list in their sidebar and posts about each book/poem on their own site, including a like to the site/post relevant to the challenge.<BR/><BR/>For examples take a look at <A HREF="http://maggiereads.blogspot.com/2007/04/summer-reading-challenge-info.html" REL="nofollow">Southern Reading Challenge</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://thoughtsofjoyblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/join-non-fiction-five-challenge.html" REL="nofollow">Non-fiction Five Challenge</A><BR/><BR/>and the ambitious <A HREF="http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/?p=642" REL="nofollow">Once Upon a Time Challenge</A> complete with its very own <A HREF="http://www.onceuponatimechallenge.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Review Site</A>Imanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09647980707788075258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-59539096074764413042007-06-01T15:45:00.000-04:002007-06-01T15:45:00.000-04:00Yay - one nibble!

I'll post the rules soon, but I'm leaning toward assembling everyone's list as it comes in - listing poets and poems and serving as a directory, with everyone posting and conversing at their own sites - creating lots of traffic for each person's own site. Any opinions on the best way to administer these things? I'm still green at blogging.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511240514127283024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-4315129601185370272007-06-01T15:25:00.000-04:002007-06-01T15:25:00.000-04:00This is a great idea!
