Challenge: Create a Story Post
This is 4th challenge in ProBlogger’s 7 Days to Getting Your Blogging Groove Back Challenge that we kicked off a couple of episodes ago.

To recap - every day for the next week I’m going to suggest a particular style of blog post for you to create. My challenge is to create and publish that challenge - to join our ProBlogger Challenge Group on Facebook and to share your post on this thread and to check out the other posts others are submitting.

Today your challenge is to publish a ‘story’ post.

You can listen to this episode in the player above or look for episode 141 on iTunes.

The challenge with stories is finding a way to tie into the rest of your blog and make them relevant and to ensure that they have some point to them that is useful to your readers on some level.
