   Pre-Ramble
   Yesterday I reached a milestone. I managed to do 100 significant posts in 100 days. By significant post I mean an item/ npc/ ...front page entry, a good sized informative post, or 5 to 10 lines of significant comments or edits on a post. One Hundred and One days ago I challanged myself and I did it.
   
   Some of you might of noticed there were days I did not post at all. There were other days I was a posting machine. I averaged 100 posts in that 100 days. Because lets face it, there are some days you can log on, and if you did, you just don't have an idea to post. So I worked it out to an average of one post a day for one hundred days.
   
   Note: This did not include any of my item comments or admin/ moderator type posts - that is just part of the job. Nor did it include any thread sheparding (dinky posts or bumps to get a thread back to the top).
   
   End Pre-Ramble
   
   So now I ask you to do the same.
   
   Sites like this are made through content, good content, new content. That is probably what brought you here way back when and is what is keeping you here. Where do we get content? From viewers like you, to borrow the phrase from PBS.
   
   And some of you are saying, "There is no way I can do that, what is MoonHunter on?" (or words to that effect).
   
   Okay, not a problem. One hundred days is a big commitment. Lets start with something managable. I want you to commit to 10 significant posts in 10 days. That is fairly easy and a small commitment.
   
   Ten Significant Posts in Ten Days
   
   Go ahead. Try it. No shame if you fail, just try it again.
   
   And some of you are saying, "I don't have that many ideas!"
   
   You think I do? Have you seen some of my posts? Some are just expansions of existing ideas. Some are quite new though. There is something about having a deadline or meeting a commitment that pushes your imagination to new heights... looking for inspiration in places you never though of, just desperately trying to meet the commitment.
   
   So try it. Try it for ten days. Then if you don't do it, try it again. If you do do it, then do it again. And again. In 50 to 100 days, you might find yourself with 50 to 100 posts, all from doing each section of 10 days.
   
   The journey of one hundred miles starts with ten steps.
   
   So take the next step.

   I'll try, but I do have an offline life & other sites to go to. I'll try and make at least one good post a day.

   As do I Cheka. I am trying to meet this same level of commitment on three sites. While I don't expect everyone to do that (not everyone is as neurotic about these things as I am), I would like to see more people try.
   
   Once you start the process and get into to it for a couple of cycles, it becomes easier and easier. All it takes is some dedication, the ability to respond to desperation (trying to find something, anything to post about, to meet the comitment), and about twenty minutes a day per post (which is about what it takes me to do one post... if not interrupted).
   
   So give it a try. That is all I ask.

   You are an inspiration to us all Moonhunter. An inspiration. I hope to be able to post 100 let alone 100 in 100 days...
