Robert is a brilliant organiser of the blogging community. I love him for that. A month ago, he suggested I join the Junited campaign and spend the whole of June recommending other authors’ posts. The campaign was brilliant and I’m glad I took part, although the second half of June was very hectic for me in many ways and blogging had to take a back seat.
July, on the other hand – as I found out yesterday – is JulyReply, so another initiative. This time, it involves responding to other bloggers and joining in the discussion on their posts by writing your own posts on the same topic. It’s a brilliant way to engage in a debate.
Robert describes the idea as follows:
The idea is straightforward and something many bloggers already do. Replying to others' blog posts in a "Re:" format.
No contest, no challenge. Just a fun and rewarding way to connect with fellow bloggers. One thoughtful reply during the month is better than ten rushed ones.
It's all up to you how to set it up. Maybe collect the posts on a page, if you feel like it, or simply tag them with #JulyReply. There are also some buttons available down below.
I sometimes use this approach to blogging. You can find examples here, here, here and here. Interestingly, I started doing this by responding to Robert’s post (4th link).
So I’ll give this challenge a go too. I encourage you to do the same. You’ll find all the information you need in this post on Robert’s blog.
