Badges

Those 7-day ones, in fact. Today we have an addition to the initial four - the one for blogging, either posting or commenting. It comes at a good time for me because it’s been a while since I lasted posted in my blog and I need something to motivate me. If the originals are anything to go by, this should get me posting daily.

So now I have five badges to go for. And I’ll try, although I do wonder how long I can keep this up. The visiting one is no problem as I’ve always done that anyway. And the forum posting is easy too, thanks to Solace and her daily 8-line poem thing. Newsfeed posts or comments can be a bit of a pain since there are days when nothing springs to mind, and reviews are a hassle but easy once I’ve found the right piece to review. It’s the finding that can take much too long.

I can see that thinking up a blog post every day is going to be a strain. There will be days when my post will be pretty short, I know. But it’s not really my style and I’ll feel like I’m cheating, no matter how pithy and amusing the short sharp post may be. Hopefully, I’ll try for as many longer posts as I can manage.

And then there’s the final slight problem. Recently I managed to get all four badges due on the same day, Sunday. And now this comes along on a Saturday. I could wait a day to post this to the blog or just accept that I’ll have one badge on a different day from the others. And I know me - I’ll post as soon as it’s finished. I always do that.

But the next time I’m too ill to keep up all the badges, I’ll orchestrate my return so they all happen at the same time. So there.
