- There really aren't any rules. If you miss a day, you can make it up or skip it. The blog police will not come knocking.
- There will be a linkup option at the bottom of each post by the Story of my Life blog, so you are welcome to leave your links there for others to peruse as well.
- You can still post other things every day, too. I plan to continue posting my regular posts as per usual.
- Include the "blog every day in May" button (here) either on your sidebar or at the end of your posts, but again, the blog police will not come knocking. The main goal here is to get us all back to the basics of blogging, not to gain a million new readers (though I wouldn't mind that).
- Here are the topics. You can be as creative and awesome or as boring and bland as you like with these. Take 'em and run with it. Use creative post titles. Interpret each "prompt" however you like. There's no wrong way to do it. Have fun.
- Share using the hashtag #BlogEveryDayInMay
The challenges...
- The story of your life in 250 words or less (or one paragraph... no one will be counting your words... probably)

- Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it
