This week’s assignment from the League: A birthday celebration!

league of extraordinary bloggers anniversary

The League of Extraordinary Bloggers is celebrating its first birthday! Can you believe it’s been a year since this whole thing started? As a community, we have had a lot of fun and some amazing blog posts have been written in response to the weekly League topics. I’ve met some great people and really do think that we put our best efforts forward when we write a response to the weekly topic.

After 52 weeks, I’m running a little low on the “idea-meter” and I need your help. This week’s assignment is a two-parter…

—

1. Write about your involvement in the League of Extraordinary Bloggers and recall some of your favorite posts — these could be your own and/or those written by others. 

2. Come up with a list of potential topics you would like to see as future weekly League challenges.

Want a reminder of how this all started? Check out the responses from the very first League challenge.

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

league logoOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    Here’s mine. I didn’t realize how many Assignments I’d actually missed! I’ll do my best to rectify that in future!

    Looking through all the old ones, I am seriously late every week. I need to start writing these sooner.

    Hey Brian,
    While reading up on all of last night’s winner I got another league assignment idea. Pop culture oscars. Who would win the all time pop culture oscars for all th big categories. Would no doubt be interesting to see all the picks.
