Good morning, friends! I hope you’re all having a lovely October so far. I’m super excited for today’s blog post, but before I start, I have a few blogging updates to share. 🙂
First, you may have noticed that my blog looks different – what do you think of the new design? You can tap the “home” button on my sidebar to see the whole thing. I’d love to hear any thoughts/feedback that you guys have! 😀
Second, I started an Instagram account for my photography! I’ll be sharing some photos that you may have seen on my blog before, but I’ll also be sharing a lot of new photography. If you want to follow me, my username is @claraandcophoto.
Alright, now let’s get on to the Comment-A-Thon! This is the fourth year that I’ve hosted this challenge, and it’s always so much fun! Read below to learn more about the challenge and decide if you’d like to participate:
The Comment-A-Thon was created to inspire interaction, encouragement and support in the blogging community. The concept is simple: a week-long challenge in which participants leave a comment on every blog post that they read. The blogging community can be such a fun, inspiring place if we take the time to give our fellow bloggers some support and encouragement!
Are you ready to participate? Here are the official challenge guidelines:
First, comment on this post and let me know that you are participating in the Comment-A-Thon. I will then add your name to the participant list (see details below).
Once you’ve commented here, the challenge begins! Do your best to leave a comment on every blog post that you read for one week. You can start at any time, as long as you comment consistently for seven days. Your comments don’t have to be long, but it’s best to try to make them somewhat unique and keep them as friendly and supportive as possible.
As a bonus, try to find and follow some new blogs! I love meeting new bloggers, and I know you guys do too. Visit my community page for a huge list of lovely blogs, or scroll down and visit the blogs on the participant list.
Please keep in mind this is not a contest or competition of any sort.
I’d be super grateful if you would share this post: pin it on Pinterest, post about it on social media – anything that helps to spread the word!
If you’d like, you can add this button to your blog’s sidebar once you’ve completed the challenge:
If you only follow a few blogs and are looking for some places to comment, I’m going to be including the name and blog of every Comment-A-Thon participant below. Check out their blogs and leave them a comment! I’ll be updating this post as the participant list grows.

At first I wasn’t sure if I would join, since I haven’t been as on top of reading posts as usual, but I’ve decided to go for it! 🙂 Thanks for hosting another Comment-a-thon! This is such a neat event!
I really like your new design! The colors are very fun, and I love your new profile picture too–you’re so pretty! 🙂 I completely understand when bloggers (including me 😉 ) don’t post pictures of themselves, but when they do it’s always nice to put a face to a name! 😀
