Nablopomo.
That is my new favorite word. I have turned National Blog Posting Month into a slang term. Sometimes as a curse word. Often times into a silly exclamation to make my son laugh. I just love it because it does not roll off the tongue easily. It takes guts to say “nablopomo” in random conversations, and I have those guts. I even added it to my dictionary in Firefox so that it no longer has a red squiggly line below it. That is true love.
I’m going to try to post 100 times in November since posting every day is not really a challenge for me. (Unless I’m puking, of course.) I only made it to 75 posts last year, but I’m determined to step it up a notch this year.
Have you joined the group yet? Here is the homepage where you can join the social community. Make sure to add me as a friend if you do! Here is where you go to add yourself to the blogroll. Make sure you do that because that is soon to be the Longest Blogroll EVAH, and you don’t want to miss out. Finally, you need to enter yourself under the Nablopomo category in the Blog Directory. And after you do, will you vote for me here? I’ll return the favor, thereby making the entire process pointless. But it won’t matter because we’ll all have a bunch of votes to make ourselves feel better!
It’s going to be an awesome month. Remember, if you’re scared you’ll run out of ideas, there are 100 ideas in a one-stop-shop for you to purchase. I bought this the second it was available and consult it often. Join the frenzy. Say it loud, say it proud…”Nablopomo!”
Goodness, woman. I would be happy to achieve 100 posts in six months. I just dont know how you do it.
Good luck. I’m just trying to figure out how to post every day, since my brain shuts down on weekends.
I voted! And I registered and added myself to the blogroll. Zoot says, I do.
I never even spell NaBloPoMo right, let alone can even pronounce it.
Nablopomo! You’re right, it’s fun! And you weren’t kidding about voting back – you were super fast with the vote button! Thank you!
@SpaceCase. Hee. I try!
So seriously, how do you pronounce it? Nah-Blow-Poe-Moe? Nuh-BLOP-uh-moe?
Is it a verb?
I always say NaNoBloPoMo like KABLAAMO! P
Best way to say it ever, in my opinion!
I like your Zoot Speak!
If you are going to post 100 posts in one month, I can try to leave you 100 comments for the month.
I’m signed up. I’m a masochist and doing NaNoWriMo as well as NaBloPoMo. (Trying saying that three times fast.)
I’m testing out the whole gravatar thing:
http://site.gravatar.com/
If you want to set up an account and submit a thumnail, your image will show up by your comments. Do you like it? No?
I voted for you! You’re winning right now.
I had done all of those things already. Except vote for you… and now I’ve done that too!
Good luck reaching 100 posts. I’ll be glad if I can get a post a day!
Bring on November. I’m going to be a posting fool. Now, there’s no way I’ll outpost you, but that’s OK. I’m just not that interesting …
How, how, HOW do you come up with so many things to blog about AND in an amusing way? You’re my idol!
Glad to hear you’re done puking, yuck. Thanks for the ‘heads-up’ about the blogroll – I voted!
I’m doing both NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo this year. KRAZEE ME. anyhoo, submitted Smoke Rings, Coffee Stains and voted for MissZoot.
Thanks for the idea to toss the link up on BlogDirectory.
Thanks for the heads up!
I like the idea of an image showing up in the comments. I’ll have to find a good picture to add when I’m not a work.
I’m doing it, too.
I added you as a friend, will you add me?
DAMN you’re fast!!!
@Janet – HA! Thanks. I try.
Cool! I joined several weeks ago and have totally been a slacker about updating mah profile, putting up mah widget, etc. I am not sure I can do 100 posts, but if you are going to try, then so am I.
Because I love a challenge. And I am a lemming, too!
Also? I love the phrase “Pickle you, kumquat” from that gum commercial. I laugh everytime I see it. I am adding that to mah list of fun phrases to use.
Where is mah gravatar? I love those. Mah vote is definitely likey.
HAH!
@ JennyH. Yay! You’re joining in on the fun too!
I LOVE FUN!
Very cool – I think I’ll sign up, I was just thinking I need to spice up my posts and do more creative writing.
I tried to do all the signing up stuff…but it’s getting late, my nablopomo badge is funky, and I got an error message at that last site where I was supposed to vote – what is that site for again? /whining
I’m calling it a night!
I’m offering that book as a prize to one NaBloPoMo participant.
I’m hoping to put up an idea every day in November on Write Anyway.com as well.
I have a feeling this blog is going to get very amusing next month…
Yes, I like the gravator idea. I will try to come up with one to use.
Well, I signed up for NaBloPoMo a little while ago, but now am on the blogroll, the blog directory AND I voted for you.
I just wish I could figure out how to edit my tags. Now, I just need to see if I can figure out what my PayPal account is so I can get that book!
Read you everyday. Love your blog. I’ve been meaning to comment, but I just have never gotten around to it. Just wanted you to know you inspired me to join up for NaBloPoMo. So, wish me luck!
BTW, you have a great lookin family.
Ok, Zoot, I think I need a NaBloPoMo tutorial. I have a page, we’re friends and all, I’m in the blogroll. What is this directory thing? Do I have to come up with a new registration thing so I can get in there and then vote and be voted for and be in the randomizer? Am I already in the randomizer? Is this too much? Do you just want me to leave you alone?
