Blogging Contest!
The April/May contest is to add new bloggers to your community’s blog.
Have new users sign up to be bloggers using the steps outlined in the Mini-Blogging Guide to help them sign and up and learn the basics of how to blog.
Think of creative questions to ask them relating to their personal and the community’s participation in the Horizons program. Here are a few examples:
1. What changes do you see if your community as a result of participating in the Horizons program?
2. How has participating in the Horizons program affected you personally?
3. What are some major milestones or achievements you have seen your community reach?
4. What are some Horizons related projects your community is currently working or or plans to carry on into the future?
5. How has the Horizons program helped develop leadership in your community? What populations have grown the most in terms of leadership?
The community that has the most new bloggers by the end of May will win the contest!
There are a number of ways you can sign-up new bloggers - you can post an announcement on your community’s web site. You could hold a blogging party or blogging night at a community member’s home, the local library, high school or coffee shop. Add a few minutes of blogging to your next Horizons meeting and find interested people there. Be creative!
As always, if you need help, let me know!
Happy Blogging!
