#Microblog Monday 300: 300th Microblog Monday
Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.
*******
This is the 300th time we’ve met up for Microblog Monday. That’s almost 6 years worth of posts!
The whole point of the project was to get people to record some of their thoughts in their own space. Facebook could go away tomorrow. Twitter could delete your tweets. Instagram is just renting a visual space. But your blog is your place to write your thoughts. It’s not about not writing in those other places; it’s about stopping by your home on the Internet and placing some thoughts inside, too.
Thank you to everyone who places thoughts inside your space.
The best way to honour Microblog Monday is to get two or three friends to return and write a post in their own space today. Just two or three sentences, marking what they’re thinking or feeling right now. Seriously, the whole thing should take you two minutes; the same amount of time it takes you to write an update on Facebook. In fact, you can just cut-and-paste your Facebook update into your blog. Ta-da: two birds/one stone.
Happy anniversary, Microblog Mondays!

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts that are connected to businesses or are sponsored post.

I love that you’ve been getting us to write in our own spaces for 300 weeks.
I’m going to see if I can come up with something. Depending on how the day goes.
Happy 300, Mel! 🙂 I’m surprised I was the first to post because I didn’t get around to it until this afternoon, but I kind of forgot it’s Memorial Day long weekend there. 😉 I’ve always appreciated the incentive of #MM — I know that even if I’m in a bit of a blogging slump, if I can at least put up a Monday post, that’s something, and I manage to do one more often than not. Thank you! <3
Thank you so much for creating MicroblogMondays! Because of it, I have been writing every single Monday even when I don’t want to sometimes. This habit has kept me going for years!
Thanks for starting this Mel. And for the reminder that it doesn’t have to be some big profound post. When I started mine for today, I was only going to write 2 or 3 sentences like you suggested, but the words just started to flow naturally. Thank you so much. Stay well.
Wow! Congrats, Mel, on 300 Microblog Mondays. I’ve just checked, and I’ve done 289 Microblog Mondays. So whether you like it or not, I think you’re responsible for keeping me going the last (almost) six years! Thanks for the inspiration.
Congrats on 300! 300!! I think it’s lovely of you to encourage OTHER people to post. So many blogging communities have vanished or gone wobbly…
