Blog Challenge: 5 Pretty Awesome Posts You Might’ve Missed
One of the biggest challenges for bloggers is how to highlight older content. Just by the nature of the basic blog format sometimes what we see as our own great posts don’t get enough action. How can we tell people that there is something pretty awesome they might’ve missed? Well, the best ways that I’ve found so far is…
shamelessly pull stories out of the archive and link to them.
Okay, bloggers. Are you ready for the challenge?
Post a list of 5 Pretty Awesome Posts Your Readers Might’ve Missed
Head back to your own blogs and find 5 blog posts that you really loved writing and tell your readers about them. Maybe we missed them the first time around, maybe we’re new readers, maybe you just loved the post so much that you just want to hi-five it again. Whatever!
Blow the dust off of some of those oldies but goodies and re-share ’em with us.

Brilliant!! I’m going to try and get that up tomorrow.
Yay! I’ll be on the lookout for your post so i can link it here 🙂
Wonderful! I’ve bemoaned this very fact before — the endless scroll of chronology in the structure of blogs hides our best work. Posts that ought to be seen are hidden in the backfield of time. New readers get only a “what have you done for me lately” view which isn’t complete or necessarily representative.
I’m gonna take you up on your suggestion and join in!
I did it! Thank you, Fuzzy.

W00T! Can’t wait to see what you put up.
Great idea – thanks for the challenge!
Here’s mine – http://splodzblogz.co.uk/2012/08/31/blog-challenge-5-pretty-awesome-posts-you-mightve-missed/ – I look forward to reading lots more responses.
Hmmmmmm intriguing.
I may have to give that a whirl if I can find anything in the archives I think might be interesting enough. We’ll see.
Youuuuu cannnn dooooo eeeeeeet! 😀
Thanks for the link Fuzzy. I tried to comment last night to let you know I was participating but it was giving me an error message.
Now I am off to read your 5.
Yea – there was a bad plugin update. All fixed now 🙂
Thanks for participating, T!
I’m looking forward to seeing what I have missed. I don’t think I can find very many “awesome” in my own posts. Still trying to get a hang of this blogging thing.
Nonsense, Richard. I know you’ve got 5 great posts you can point us to. Do it! 🙂
Hi Fuzzy, challenge accepted.
Lookey here: http://2wheelersrevisited.blogspot.ca/2012/09/another-fuzzy-challenge.html
Awesome – thanks, Sonja – will have to head off and read your posts now 🙂
A little late to the party but I finally got the post up!

Hi Richard-
Thanks for joining in!
Fuzzy:
I’m racking my brain, or what’s left of it. My blog is more of a diary than a masterpiece of well written Literature. My life is not that interesting and I am having trouble coming up with the five, but I did come up with a Youtube video I am proud of . . .

Oh, for heaven’s sake. Not as a knock against any blogger out there, but I don’t think anyone’s blog is a masterpiece of literature. 😆
That’s probably why they’re fun to read 😉
Going to take a peek at your vid~
That was great, Bob! 😀
<b<Fuzzy/Rachael:
You’re making me feel guilty with my lonely Youtube video. I have already “discovered” 3 of my 5, just two more to find . . .

Ok now I’m really late for this one, but I had nothing to do today so I had a look to see if there was even one post I’d go back to and I think I’ve found 5 so … better late than never … here’s my effort http://whiteshadowdiary.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/better-late-than-never.html
I had fun doing it too thanks for the challenge Fuzzy 🙂
Awesome, Brenda! Now i’ve gotta go take a peek.
Thanks for participating 🙂
I don’t know why this old post popped onto my browser window. Either you repurposed it or its a sight from down south — as in me being south of you, not THAT down south — that it should be republished.
I didn’t do anything at all. Your browser must be haunted
