As today is the last day of my holidays I’ve been trying to suck every last minute of my freedom – but the heavy rain this afternoon thwarted my plans for one last walk and confined me to the house. As I mooched around my various social media haunts I remembered that I’d seen a link to sign up for Blaugust 2026, so here’s my intro post. In case you don’t know:

Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place each August which focuses on blogging primarily and has started to include other forms of serialized content over the last several years. The goal is to stoke the fires of creativity and allow bloggers and other content creators to mingle in a shared community while pushing each other to post more regularly. Above all the goal of Blaugust has always been to prove to folks that they can in fact sit down every day and create something fresh and then share it with the world.

Well, I do like a daily challenge – and recently I’ve been blogging some of my Daily Creates here, but sometimes not till a couple of days later and sometimes not at all. So my intention for August 2026 is to complete the TDC each day in a way that I’ll be happy posting it to my blog and sharing it with the Blaugust community – and hopefully some other Ds106ers will also be joining in. If you want to join, the sign up form is here.
