# Blogging Challenge

A Community Challenge to hit a word count goal for all our tech blogs.

Based off the [NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)](https://nanowrimo.org/) Challenge, this challenge is the tech take on writing and working together towards the goal while posting on our own blogs.

## Tasks Before the Challenge
