Then again, the medium of blogging itself has undergone a lot of changes over the past decade. The theme sounded great, but there was no way to check it out from a hyperlink!Īlso annoying are blogs without the option to comment or where we have to sign up with a unique-to-the-blogger commenting service, or a really uncommon commenting interface.Īs other people have been noticing, participation does seem down in recent years. Many bloggers gave up early or never started, and I even found one without a link. But since I didn’t have much lead time, and have never repeated a theme on either blog, I decided to go with the related theme of Medieval Tuscan and Italian names.įor whatever reason, I’ve tended to have bad luck when clicking on links in the master A to Z list the last few years. There were plenty of names I had on my list but opted against, and I could’ve easily done wildcards for the few letters without any names or whose few names I already did. Seeing as this year, 2021, is Dante’s 700th Jahrzeit (death anniversary) year, I considered revisiting my 2016 theme of Divine Comedy names. Since Italian doesn’t have certain letters, K, Q, W, X, and Y had to be wildcard days. Though I’ve done six each the last few years, there were a number of days this year I ended up with fewer than six, or more than six. There’s just such a theme I’ve been wanting to do here since 2017, and I’ve not forgotten about it.Īs always, I featured both female and male names on each day, unless I failed to find names for both, and alternated which sex each post started with. Maybe someday I’ll be at liberty to resume my former habit of putting my posts together many months in advance, and returning to more research-heavy themes on my names blog. I remain hopeful I can return to more research-intensive themes in the coming years.įor the third year running, I didn’t start writing and researching my posts on either blog till March. Much to my disappointment, for the fourth year in a row I had to suffice with a fairly simple theme, one I didn’t need to do a huge amount of research for. This was my eighth year doing the A to Z Challenge with this blog, my tenth with two blogs.
