- 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 March 15
There are a few things you can do prior to the challenge to make sure you’re ready to go in March.
Check your registration
- A few days after registering, check the student participants’ page. Look for “2020 Students” in the header area of this blog. Check this list prior to March 15 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.

I don’t know how to make a blog
Hi Caeli,
You can create a blog on the Edublogs home page https://edublogs.org/
If you need more help you can email the Edublogs support team (or ask a teacher or carer to do so). The address is support@edublogs.org
Thank you,

I don’t know how to make a blog without viewers commenting without an email.
Hi there,
It sounds like you want to be able to change your settings so people can comment without an email address?
1. Go to Settings > Discussion inside your dashboard.
2. Untick the box that says “comment author must fill out name and e-mail”
Hope that helps!
By accident I registered 3 times can you take out the 2 highlighted pink ones my name is Youssef.
Thanks Youssef! It’s all fixed now.
Enjoy the blogging challenge!
