And just like that, the month of April, and with that, the 2024 A - Z Challenge, is over and done. 26 letters, 26 posts, actually I even threw in a few extra posts, since I also participated in the Ultimate Blog Challenge, which requires 30 posts..

I wasn't as prepared as other years. Life has been busy, and I only pre-wrote a handful of posts. Since I also have a day job, I didn't get around to visiting a ton of other blogs.
To be honest, I basically reconnected with my old friends and discovered one new one. I feel like A - Z is fading out. There used to be thousands of participants. This year, only 217 signed up on the Master List.
Thank you so much for being part of my blogging journey throughout the alphabet.
Let's keep in touch:
It does seem like a-z is not as popular as before with fewer participants but who actually visit the thousands of people that signed up?
ReplyDeleteI was like you, I basically visit the ones I know. It just seems easier. Though I do find my enthusiasm was as present as previous years and so I didn't visit a lot of blogs. Sorry, I missed your posts though I did check out a few of your posts but got a bit too lazy to comment.
Congrats on finishing the challenge.
Have a lovely day.
I applaud you for the dedication it takes to blog this regularly with your schedule! 💜
ReplyDeleteLike you, I didn't visit as many blogs as in previous years. I did write most of my posts in advance, starting as soon as I selected my theme. I had fun and I made a few new friends. But I also think blogging is dying out... Everyone wants snippets, shorts, videos - nothing that takes more than a few seconds to digest. I found myself not taking time to read longer posts except for a couple of blogs. This may be my last year...just not sure.
