As much as I disliked the topics I had to post in my first 30-Day Blogging Challenge, I pretty much enjoyed the whole exercise. It’s definitely challenging to find the time to blog a decent post once a day while balancing my work-family-house responsibility. But I did it, and it feels positively great to finish and achieve something, no matter how small a matter it may be.
I’ve been thinking of doing another 30-day blogging challenge but on a topic I’m more comfortable sharing. I brainstormed on several ideas, before deciding on a really great one (for me, at least) that I thought of this morning, and one in which I will have great joy to research, learn and blog about.
This 30-Day Blogging Challenge shall be known as the “WordPress As A ___” Challenge. I’ll be posting about 30 ways of how you can use WordPress, not just as a blogging platform.
Not only will this be a useful topic for all of us WordPress learners out there, but I also plan to make them as “living blog posts”, meaning that I will update these articles from time to time to ensure its relevance as WordPress usage evolves.
The topics listed below aren’t exhaustive and do not reflect the order in which I’ll blog, but it gives you an idea about what WordPress As A challenge will be about.
