It's always exciting each year to see which challenges are coming back and what the prompts will be for them. I have decided I want to streamline my reporting a bit as I have found this year that I am good at posting to my blog but not so good at staying current on the actual challenge sites. I may cut back on my challenges but for now I will list all the exciting options and then as I decide if I will participate I will link to the tracking pages on my blog. So here goes:
