During Diabetes Blog Week<\/strong>, a week-long event organized by Karen Graffeo of BittersweetDiabetes.com<\/a>, bloggers sign up to write about a set topic each day for a week.\u00a0 This way, readers can jump around the Diabetes Blog<\/strong> Community and get read different perspectives on a single topic.<\/p>\n

When is Diabetes Blog Week?<\/strong>\u00a0 The fourth annual Diabetes Blog Week\u00a0 will take place from May 13th through May 19th.<\/p>\n

Where can I find the Diabetes Blog Week topics?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>You can find the topics on the\u00a0Topics and Posts page<\/a>. \u00a0Use\u00a0these topics<\/a>\u00a0as a starting point for your post each day and see where they take you.\u00a0 Write as much or as little as you like.\u00a0 There are no right or wrong answers – just read over the topic and start blogging! \u00a0Karen has included two wild card topics to choose from.\u00a0 If one day\u2019s topic doesn\u2019t inspire you, feel free to post about one of the wild card topics instead.<\/p>\n

\"DiabetesWho can participate in Diabetes Blog Week?<\/strong>\u00a0 DBlog Week is open to anyone who blogs about diabetes – be it Type 1, Type 2, LADA, or gestational, and it\u2019s also for parents, spouses and caregivers. \u00a0If you blog about diabetes in any capacity, please join us!\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have a blog but have thought about starting one, now is the perfect time.\u00a0 There are free blogging sites you can use (such as\u00a0Blogger<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0WordPress<\/a>) and members of sites such as\u00a0TuDiabetes<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Diabetes Daily<\/a>\u00a0have a blog built right into their profile.<\/p>\n

Can blogs done by groups, organizations and companies join?<\/strong>\u00a0 Group blogs and professional blogs are welcome to join.\u00a0 However, the posts should be written by a blogger with a diabetes connection and product plugs \/ advertising will not be allowed.<\/p>\n

What if I can\u2019t write posts for all seven days?<\/strong>\u00a0 Of course, the idea for Diabetes Blog Week is that everyone who signs up to participate will post on all seven days.\u00a0 Although that is the goal, \u00a0if you end up falling short of seven posts that\u2019s okay.\u00a0 Diabetes can be stressful enough, so let\u2019s keep DBlog Week fun and stress free.<\/p>\n

How do I sign up?<\/strong>\u00a0Karen has created a form to submit your information.\u00a0 Fill it out and you will be signed up and added to the\u00a0Participant’s List<\/a>\u00a0within 24 hours.\u00a0 There is a space on the form for you to let Karen know if you have any questions, and you can also email her at\u00a0DBlogWeek@bittersweetdiabetes.com<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
