My understanding is that the current batch of challengers who join up through Sept 15 [today] are seeking admission as members of the "Zeta" class. While I know that pretty everyone is supportive of everyone else, I thought it might be nice for us Zeta class challengers to have a dedicated thread for staying in touch and helping each other out.

So… If you're a member of the Zeta class of challengers, please post a note introducing yourself and don't hesitate to post here with any special requests.

Zeta class challenger checking in!  I definitely could use some support as I originally entered the challenge in May with Taxes & Stuff and have since decided that my other blog, WhatMommyDoes should be the challenger.  I've realized that have more of a passion for WMD.  So I guess it wasn't for nothing!  Figured I will leave TaxesandStuff as a challenger for now just in case I can manage to keep up with the posting requirements, but I won't kill myself to do it.

I thought I missed the cutoff, but am glad to hear that I can enter through tonight.  Will be putting up my badge and doing the other prerequisites for WhatMommyDoes tonight.  Wish me luck!

Hey everyone! I officially joined the challenge on September 11th, and am proud to be a member of the Zeta Class! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you guys better and connecting with you all more frequently.

 

I launched Compound Capitalist at the beginning of September (the 4th, to be exact) and will be writing regularly about investing, with the ultimate goal of helping people learn the fundamentals of investing, and feel more confident in making investing decisions for themselves.

 

This last week, I had some things come up outside of my website that took me away from posting at least twice, but I hope to make up for that going forward.

 

Once I get some more time to sit down, I'll be checking out and subscribing to your guys' websites!

I joined on May 5th. I have dropped below the required 200,000 mark, but need to maintain that, so I'm here to help support and for support :)

 

Let me know if you have any questions!

I joined last week and am loving the sense of community I'm already feeling here! I'm having a hard time pulling myself away from the forums and member/challenger blogs long enough to get work done for my actual job. Embarassed

I joined in March and also need to maintain under a 200k alexa.  Currently I'm working through blogger burnout (more like computer burn out due to blogging and work) but I'm hoping to get out of that funk pretty soon!

Same here BogofDebt, not burnout persay, but life with child keeps taking over! I'm noticing a rather slight drop in Alexa due to limited time spent on the blog last week. Time to re-focus, and I'll be sending well wishes out of your current funk.

Thanks! I'm currently excepting guest posts to try to help out with this.  The only bad thing with that is I also have guest posts I need to write. So I'm hoping to get some ideas flowing lol.

Greg – I would love it if my husband blogged with me.  Although on the other hand, he would say some pretty controversial things, so maybe not.  Surprised  I bet doubling up on the site makes all the tasks that much easier.

Ha! Controversial isn't always bad thoughWink

Doubling up does help. I do all of the social media, site management, and write about half the stories. Holly focuses on commenting and writing stories. It certainly helps to have another person to spread the workload out a bit.

Commenting and promotion sucks up so much of my time…now I'm just jealous!  Yell

Looking forward to getting to know you, too!  I love your site – such a cute design!  Seems like I've already said that elsewhere a while back, but even if I did, it's worth highlighting again.  Laugh
