Wow!! Looking back on last week, the first thing that pops into my head is WOW!!!!! I want to thank you all for your enthusiasm throughout the week. In the end, we officially have 240 people signed up on the Participants List and I can’t quite wrap my head around that!!Some quick housekeeping. If you haven’t yet, please check your listing on the Participants List to be sure I didn’t mess it up. If I did, please shoot a quick email to my DBlogWeek email and I will fix it. Also, if you participated but didn’t officially sign up and would like to be added to the Participants List, you can email your name and you blog address and I’ll add you.
The Link Lists will remain open for about another week, so if you didn’t get a chance to add your posts there is still time. Then they will be closed to new entries (to prevent spam links from being added), but will be available so we can always find the posts from the week. If you need something added after I’ve locked the lists, I'll be happy to add it for you.
I know the week went by quickly and some people got behind on their posts. That is fine - I had a busy weekend and almost didn’t get my post up yesterday!! If you’d like to finish your posts this week (or beyond), that’s great!! Or if you don’t want to, that’s fine too. I’m grateful to everyone who participated and for each post that was done. I haven’t gotten very far on reading and commenting yet, but I will try my best to read each and every post and to leave at least one comment for each blogger who participated!!
Will there be a fourth Diabetes Blog Week? That’s up to you all! I’m sure game if you are. Do you have topic ideas or other requests? Let me know, because DBlog Week belongs to all of us!! And thank you again for making it such a success and so much fun!!
AND people should really take some of the favorite posts that they found this week and nominated them for the Best of the 'Betes Blogs!
ReplyDeleteRight?! ;)
Absolutely!!! They should see this post for more details - http://momentsofwonderful.com/2012/05/the-week-is-over-now-what/
DeleteKaren - Thank you for putting this week together! I may have been overheard speaking of the experience as a brutal death march, but in reality it was anything but. I look forward to the next one.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun writing for the week - I'm so glad I got to participate. THANK YOU for organizing!
ReplyDeleteAwww, it was fun. Loved the prompts, even though some were tougher to write about.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen for organizing such a great week of writing. I appreciate your hard work and look forward to next year! I too haven't got around to reading all the posts, but i hope to. I have been introduced to some new bloggers and i am excited about that!
ReplyDeleteA HUGE shoutout to Karen & all the fellow Bloggers. On behalf of the Blue Heel Society, our Team salutes all of you & we had a blast participating!
ReplyDeleteI had done very little blogging on my blogsite prior to this week. It was fun, even though I read blogs that are much better than mine. I hope there will be another Bloggers week in 2013.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen!!!
Thanks, Karen, for all your hard work! It was really fun to participate and see so many other d-blogs. I look forward to next year. (maybe I will start when the topics come out rather than playing beat the clock each day...)(Right....)
ReplyDeleteThanks for doing this, Karen. You are incredibly organized. I hope you have a relaxing week of reading blog posts.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great week. It got me writing on the blog again, which is awesome. I am determined to post once a week. Thanks for the jump start. I loved reading everyone's posts. I still have a lot to go, but the validation is priceless! I will definitely take part next time! Thanks for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this, you are truly a leader and connected me to so many people! I think for next time we should have some suggestions outlined to make commenting easier! Most people require special memberships along with a capcha and approval! Turning these requirements off for that week would make commenting that much easier and better x infinity! So many times I had to cancel my comment because I didn't have one of the required accounts :(
ReplyDeleteAlso, we should do a #dblogday quarterly to keep the energy up and build momentum for #dblog week!
Thanks for organizing and doing this. I found it to be a great way as a new blogger and type 1 diabetic to see what is out there. Your organisational skills must be immense!
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting this together, it was such a success. I have found so many new blogs to follow, it is wonderful :)
ReplyDeletethanks again for getting this all together! best of luck reading *every single post*. you realize that's THOUSANDS of blog posts, right? amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen! I think it is going to take me until the end of June to get caught up on reading everything. It was a great week!
