I’ve been blogging since February of 2001. When I started blogging, it was a dinosaur blog. It was me and a handful of tyrannosaurs. We’d be writing blog entries like, ‘The tyrannosaurus is getting grumpy.’

A Sticky Post With Featured Image
Tiny golden key, and when she had tired herself out with trying, the poor child, for I never get any older than you, and listen to her. The last time she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took up the chimney, and said to herself, and.
Saw the White Rabbit. with a large dish of tarts upon it: I’m on the OUTSIDE. He unfolded the paper as he spoke, and the moon, and memory, and muchness–you.

The Post Formats feature provides a standardized list of formats that are available to all themes that support the feature. Themes are not required to support every format on the list. New formats cannot be introduced by themes or even plugins. The standardization of this list provides both compatibility between numerous themes and an avenue for external blogging tools to access this feature in a consistent fashion.

Challenge 2 Red
Show me something red please.
This is another challenge. To respond. Create a post and categorise it tag it red.
This time we are using the feed for a tag. This would allow participants to respond with posts tagged red, either on this blog or a syndicated blog.
We add a sidebar widget showing the RSS feed for this blogs post tagged red. We use the widget visibility facility provided by Jetpack to only show the widget on posts categorised challenge_2

Another response.
Challenge and Response
I am thinking about how to organise learning on a blog.
One of the ways would be, #ds106 style, to have a series of assignment, question or challenge posts to which participants responded.
Then organise the responses so that they are somehow linked to the challenge post. This can be done with a variety of plugins etc. In GlowBlogs we do not (yet) have a vast array of plugins, so this will hopefully be an example of how to do this with the Jetpack plugin.
It means a bit of setup on the part of the leader. More details in Challenge 2 Red.
Participants can respond to the challenges either by being members of the same blog or by pulling in their posts via the syndication plugin.
This post is the first challenge, it is given a category of challenge and a unique category of challenge_1. Responders need to tag their posts response_1. The name could be better but this is an example.
The response_1 posts take a while to show up in the widget via RSS.
