20 Types Marathon Challenge

Found a great post off Problogger on ‘20 Types of Blog Posts- Battling Bloggers Block’.

So I’ve decided to write 1 Type of blog entry every day in order as listed for the next 20 days. Should be good for a personal project/practice in discipline/exercise in broader styles of writing. Today I’m going to take an exception, work backward and start with #20, ‘Memes and Projects’. My community project is to challenge others to do a 20 Types Marathon on their blogs. If you decide to join the challenge, feel free to post a link to your blog for everyone to peruse and be inspired by. *added* if enough people join the marathon team, i’ll just do a 20 Types blogroll… i’m off to warm up my creative writing muscles…

The 20 Types of blog posts are:

1) ~~Instructional~~
2) ~~Informational~~
3) ~~Reviews~~
4) ~~Lists~~
5) ~~Interviews~~
6) ~~Case Studies~~
7) ~~Profiles~~
~~Link Posts~~
9) ~~‘Problem’ Posts~~
10) ~~Contrasting Two Options~~
11) ~~Rant (this one should be easy)~~
12) ~~Inspirational~~
13) ~~Research~~
14) ~~Collation Posts~~
15) ~~Prediction and Review Posts~~
16) ~~Critique Posts~~
17) ~~Debate~~
1 ~~Hypothetical Posts~~
19) ~~Satirical~~
20) ~~Memes and Projects~~

Great plan! And a fine example of how bloggers bounce off one another to come up with ever-more-interesting concepts, expressions, hypotheses, explorations, meditations… I’ll be reading with interest!

I heard about this idea on the 29th, but just found out via Successful Blog that you’ve issued a challenge. Now, that sounds like fun!

Can I also include that cool logo jpg on my posts?

Great inspiration, thanks. I’ve added you to my subscriptions.

Well, I did subscribe, but it wasn’t easy. There appears to be a bug in your feed, at the bottom of the page.

The link begins “feed:http://…” That’s not a valid feed address –at least, not one that Bloglines, or even Firefox can display.

I don’t know if it’s your blog, or a bug in WordPress.com. At any rate, you might want to check it out.
