thing-a-day 2010 - The yearly creative sprint, 4th edition
« Back to blog

Welcome to Edition #4 of thing-a-day

This year, thing-a-day is trying out a new home which you will hopefully find at least as convenient. We've setup our group blog on Posterous and will be using the back-end and settings that they offer to get this year's sprint going. 

What this means is that registration will be slightly different than usual. But once it's done, you'll be able to have your own blog on top of posting on thing-a-day and will have access to easier tools to post and edit your content, as well as follow each other's stuff. And most importantly: no need to struggle with a back-end anymore, once you're account is up and running, all you have to do is send an email to post your daily entries! Faster, easier and more versatile. We're exited about all this and we hope you will be too.

So here is what you need to do to sign-up.

Before February 1st: Registration

1. Create a Posterous account.

2. Fill out THIS form with thing-a-day so we can add you as a contributor. 

Starting on February 1st: Posting

The easiest way for you to post on thing-a-day will be to send your contribution to post@thing-a-day.posterous.com. Please note you will only be able to do so starting on Feb 1st so hang on. 

If you want your post to ALSO appear on your own yourblog.posterous blog space, make sure you also send your posts to post@yourblog.posterous.com at the same time. 

Everything else is managed by Posterous so read their help, faq and other sections to get used to their features and interface. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone's great work again!!

The thing-a-day (micro)team.

my first year too. might be interesting to see if i can manage something every day -- it'll test my creativity but that's the idea!

Is there an official thing-a-day Flickr group as well?

When looking at the list of subscribers (which now spans two pages), the placement of subscribers seems "random".

Search for myself on the first page, hmmm ... I am not there, check the second page, hmmm ... not there either, but I do see people I saw on the first page. Go back to the first page ... oh! there I am, but some of the people who were there are now missing.

I hope this is not a bug that will impede our enjoyment of the service.

Yeah, that doesn't seem to be the most logical way to order members. I just went through and signed up for various folks, but when I refresh the page, new folks are jumbled in! I don't want to miss someone. Hmm.

I'm excited to be participating for for what will be my 2nd year. I loved the experience last year. I'm glad to see a couple familiar posters already, and looking forward to seeing what everyone makes....should only take me about a month to figure out this new set-up.
