Ready, set go: the 2013 WordCount Blogathon is here!

Congratulations for signing up for the 2013 WordCount Blogathon community blogging challenge to post every day in June. If you’re part of the event, you’re in good company. This year, approxiamtely 210 people registered for the event, including bloggers from the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Sri Lanka, Serbia — and that’s just the countries we know about.

If you’re participating, don’t forget to “Like” the WordCount Facebook page and use it to share links to your daily posts, and cheer each other on. Look at blogging related posts on the 2013 Blogathon Pinterest page. And share Blogathon tweets using #blog2013. Here’s the complete calendar of events for the month-long challenge, including theme days and more. In case you missed it, here’s a run down of close to $1,200 in raffle prizes that everyone who makes it through the entire month is eligible to win.

As always, we’re publishing a complete list of bloggers who’re doing the event. Follow the links to read posts and leave comments. This year for the first time, we categorized blogs by category to make it easier for bloggers who write about the same thing to meet each other and find partners for the June 12 guest post swap.
