Challenge: Create a Review Post
This is the 3rd challenge in ProBlogger’s 7 Days to Getting Your Blogging Groove Back Challenge that we kicked off a couple of episodes ago.To recap - every day for the next week I’m going to suggest a particular style of blog post for you to create. My challenge is to create and publish that content - to join our ProBlogger Challenge Group on Facebook and to share your post here and to check out the other posts others are submitting.

Today’s challenge could be a life changing moment for some of you. That’s a big statement I know but I say it because I am where I am as a full time blogger today because I once wrote a review post on one of my early blogs. I had no idea at the time how writing that post would change my life but it did.In Today’s Challenge: Create a Review Post

Today, I want to issue you with a challenge to create a piece of content that is in some way a review. To recap, everyday for this next week I'm going to suggest a particular style of blog post for you to create. You choose the topic, I choose the style.
