Who Are the New Team Members?
Livia Peterson started her blog Leave It To Livia last May, heading full force into the blogging world to make her presence known in many ways including landing a place on the A to Z Team. Her blogging niche includes movies, entertainment, and, of course, writing. She's ready to take the blog world by storm so be sure to head on over to her blog and become friends with her now. We think you'll like Livia.
L. Diane Wolfe was already in the blogging circle that I fell into nearly four years ago and I feel honored to be a part of her blog circle of friends. Diane is an expert on writing, public speaking, marketing, and promotion. In other words, she's a valuable contact to have. You can find her at Spunk on a Stick. If you're not following her blog, then now's the time to head on over and do so.
Nicole Ayers from The Madlab Post is probably a very familiar name to A to Z'ers by now. In fact you may be wondering, "Isn't she already on the A to Z Team?" Nicole has been responsible for our Friday posts over the past several months as she sat in as an unofficial Team Member. Now it's official--Nicole is part of the Team. If you are looking for some inspiration about A to Z themes you may want to check out some her previous Friday posts on that topic. And be sure to follow her blog if you aren't doing so already.
Follow The Leaders
The links to all of the Team blogs can be found in the list above. If there are any that you are not yet following then hop on over to their blogs and click the "Follow" button. You will want to check in with all of these bloggers on a regular basis for the latest A to Z Challenge news and for helpful tips about the Challenge and blogging in general.
Where's the linky? Where do I sign up? What do I do now? Patience, my young padawan, patience. The list opens 1/30. It will be at the main A-Z Blog, and there's room for everyone. We will not leave you in the dark, and you don't have to camp out for tickets. Just hit the linky starting 1/30. There is no advantage to being early on the list (except bragging rights, which of course I'm into...) but we divide the list to make sure everyone gets lots of visits, and then after the challenge is over, many of us keep going until we've been to see everyone.
OK, so what can I do until 1/30???? Pick a theme for your posts (if you want), start writing posts and scheduling them early (we'll have a tutorial about that coming soon) and SPREAD THE WORD!
P.S Yes, that's really me. Now on Twitter. Yes, that was also me who when it first came out said, NEVER...but I also said that about facebook... I was the last to join, so you can say I gave in to peer pressure. Or that I hate being left out, or that it was time, or...yeah, the peep pressure thing is most accurate. I've read some of the tutorials...downloaded the app, set my notification, tried tweeting, but don't know if anyone got it...so I'm learning Windows 8 and Twitter at the same time. I will admit, I'm now following Bruce Springsteen. Can't wait to hear from The Boss!

P.S At the main blog is an announcement similar to this one (because I stole parts - not the other way around) that has a contact us page. If you write to the info@ email, it comes to me, so feel free to just write me at my regular address you'll find in the sidebar! Ask away - I'm ready to help you navigate this adventure!
