The Blogging Marathon is a monthly event. If you are new to my site and reading this for the first time and would love to join us, then email me at spicingyourlife@gmail.com
The announcement is always made for the next month on the 1st of each month.
For example, the Announcement for Feb is made in Jan. If you are joining for the first time, then access to the group is given during the last week of Jan.
You can add this group logo to your BM posts.
Below are some rules to be followed:
