The July 2017 Ultimate Blog Challenge has started! And, 聽I am participating – are you?
What is the Ultimate Blog Challenge you may ask… Well, I am glad you did!
The Ultimate Blog Challenge (UBC) was inspired by 2 of my friends, Connie Ragen Green and Dr. Jeanette Cates. It was later taken over by 2 other friends of mine, Michele Scism and Michelle Shaeffer. And today, the tradition continues is being run by Danni Ackerman and myself!
Now that the formal introductions are done, let me explain what it REALLY is!
The Ultimate Blog Challenge is a challenge for you. You are to write 31 blog posts in 31 days. You do not have to write one a day (but I found it helps!) – you are just ‘agreeing’ to write and post 31 posts during the month of July.
You are held accountable to yourself and to the Challenge Community.
The challenge takes place every January, April, July, and October!
By the way – there is nothing special about joining! If you have a blog, you can participate! All you have to do is sign up at The Ultimate Blog Challenge and start writing!
I can’t recall how many challenges I have participated in – maybe this is my 15th or 16th Challenge!
Whoops! I almost forgot to mention… it is FREE! It will cost nothing!
I hope to see you there!

Love the UBC. I often join and then bail. Here’s hoping this time I make through to the end, and then keep going. Interesting to read the history, I knew about the two Michelle’s but not earlier. Thanks.
Paul says
No Bailing this time, Nita! LOL – Seriously, I hope you stick with it.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help support you!
Adrienne Dupree says
Paul, I am excited to be participating in this challenge again. I now have two blogs so I plan to alternate between the two.
Paul says
To get the maximum potential out of the July 2017 Ultimate Blog Challenge, Adrienne, it is best to stick with only ONE blog. However, I am going to be doing this for 2 blogs and writing 62 total posts!

I am looking forward to this months challenge. As I have joined in the past and loved learning about the past host. Thank you for setting this up for us as I know it takes time. Have a great Sunday and I look forward to getting to know you a little bit better.
Paul says
You are very welcome, Glenda! Let me know if you need anything or if I can help out!
Kristine says
I need a kick in the pants; the Ultimate Blog Challenge sounds like just the ticket to get me blogging again. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive.
Paul says
That it can be! You will get great support to get you blogging again! Thanks, Kristine!
Martha says
I’m happy to say this is my 7th UBC that I’ve participated in and completed! There were times I questioned myself whether I would make it but being so persistent on anything I start, I have to finish! Thanks for hosting this terrific challenge!
Paul says
Awesome, Martha!
Thanks for coming back again! You always write about interesting things! I love it!

Thank you Paul..this is my third UBC and I will be away as well for sometime this month but hoping I can get two things out of this UBC – learn to preschedule my posts so they get posted while away; and more importantly, continue the habit of posting (almost)daily after UBC..
Paul says
Great job, LadyinRead! Welcome Back!
Patricia Swanepoel says
Are you still in 2016? 馃槈 (see top of your post) Looking forward to seeing what new content you have for us this month!
Paul says
Whoops! Looks like spell check doesn’t catch numerical typos! LOL.
Thanks, Patricia!
