Please read through the Frequently Asked Question guide which explains more about the challenge.
Mailing List options for students:
- Students with their own email address might want to sign up for our email list to get sent all the Student Blogging Challenge news and the weekly posts. Click here for the mailing list sign up form.
- Students without email addresses can check the weekly post on this site each week and/or ask a parent or teacher to sign up for the mailing list. Sometimes teachers post the challenge information on a class blog for students to refer to as well.
Before the challenge begins on October 6
There are a few things you can do prior to the challenge to make sure you’re ready to go in October.
Check your registration
- A few days after registering, check the student participants’ page. Look for ‘2019 Students’ in the header area of this blog. Check this list prior to October 6 to make sure you are on the list and your details are correct.
- If you are not listed on the participants’ page, register again being careful that your blog URL is correct.
Other ways to get ready
- If you are on the participants’ list, start visiting other student blogs if you have time. You might choose to visit students who are a similar age to you or who share similar interests.
- Consider starting the Blogging Bootcamp self-paced course if you’re new to blogging and need to get your blog set up before beginning.
- Try to have at least one post published on your blog so others can leave comments when they visit.
- Spread the word! For students/classes that use Twitter, the hashtag is #STUBC.

Hi, I made a mistake with the URL of one of my student blogs.
It’s lettuceblog.edublogs.org (I left out the -s at the end of edublogs).
Could you please change this? Or is there a way I can change this?
Regards
F. Riener

Two of my students put the wrong URL in their registration. Both of them used the class blog URL blogs.egusd.net/adams rather than their own. Can this be corrected?

Jasmine **** https://blogs.egusd.net/jasmine2027/
Thank you!
Hi Ms. Adams,

Hi im new would love to start is there any restrictions
Hi Sye,
Not really! You just need to be between the ages of about 8 and 16 and have a public blog that allows comments.
Feel free to browse the FAQs and let us know if you have any questions.

Is this challenge good?
I am so excited for participation.
Hello Mrs. Williams. I wanted to let you know that my name shows up two times on the student registration form. My name is Noah and there are two 2025nrm.edublogs.org
I don know if you are able to remove one, but I wanted to let you know anyway.
Looking forward to the student blogging challenge.
Hi Noah,
Thanks for letting us know! Great job. I deleted one, so there should be only one listed now.

Hi Kathleen! I have a quick question. When does the challenge start? I have been eagerly waiting!
So glad you’re keen to take part, Hannah. It starts in two weeks on Oct 6! 🙂
I am eager to enroll my students in the Student Blogging challenge again! I was wondering, though, if a Google Site or a Wakelet site would work for individual student blogs?
Hi Roberta,
We often have some classes who use Google Sites so feel free to give that a go if it works for you. I’m not sure that Wakelet would really work but I could be wrong!
Hope to have your wonderful students on board again!
Kathleen
