JulyReply

Mailboxes

JulyReply is a fun and simple “challenge” designed to encourage bloggers to interact with each other.

The idea is straightforward. Reply to someone else’s blog post. You’ve probably seen it before, or maybe you already do it now and then. You read a post and respond in an email-style format, like this:

“Re: Someone’s blog post”

In other words, your take on someone else’s thoughts.

It’s not meant to be a challenge in the traditional sense. Just a fun and rewarding way to connect with fellow bloggers. And it’s not a contest. One thoughtful reply during the month is better than ten rushed ones.

If you use tags on your blog or share your posts on social media, feel free to use the hashtag #JulyReply. At the bottom of this page, you'll also find a bunch of old-school 88×31 pixel web buttons you can use to show your participation.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, and you’d like to be added to the list of JulyReply participants, just reach out and I’ll happily include you.
