November 2018 is coming. Are you ready to blog with us?

Confused about what the Baha’i Blogging Challenge is all about? We’re a group of folks who want to get more practice sharing content inspired by the Baha’i Faith online. Yes, some of us are more traditional bloggers, as the name suggests. But it’s also a space for artists, vloggers, podcasters, poets, musicians, book reviewers, snapchat aficionados, twitter tweeple, and instafolks to elevate the conversations they’re having on the interne, and to support and accompany one another along the way.

Interested in joining us? We’re getting started on the 1st of November. Learn more here.

But … I’m not a blogger.

Not a blogger? Not a problem. There are lots of ways you can participate in the Baha’i Blogging Challenge.

Start a new blog. No time like the present, right? You can begin with nothing more than an idea and an internet connection. (And really, the bright idea is optional.) Experience, money, coding skills, graphics editing programs, stellar spelling, a fancy camera … all that is totally unnecessary.

Participate with a group. Do you have a group of friends who are engaged in Baha’i activities? Why not try building a blog together? Put together a schedule and post on specific days, or consult together about content. Sometimes it’s easier with support.

Try microblogging. If you’re more comfortable with 140 characters than 140 words, participating on Twitter or Instagram rather than a blog might be more your speed. (Although there’s no minimum length for a blog post!)

Consider the diversity of communication. If you’re more comfortable taking photos, singing songs, recording stories, or drawing pictures than you are with writing, that’s great content too! Just make sure to include image descriptions so that our blind and visually impaired friends can still engage with what you’re posting.

Read, comment, and share other people’s blog posts. #Bahaiblogging won’t get anywhere without an audience. If you’re not interested in creating content yourself, please think about engaging with what other people are creating and sharing it with others.
