What The Terms and Conditions Says about Blogging for Official Designer Challengers

Here's what the Design Challenge T&Cs says about where to blog:

"Post to the Competition Site blogs on the progress of their Project (Blogs) not less frequently than once per week during the Competition Period. One or two weekly omissions are permissible as long as the total number of Blogs is at least 10."

The competition site is element14, not your personal blog (e.g., blogspot)

Excellent work Randall.

It's in the T&C's but I suspect that some may not even bother reading them.

Why Challengers Must Post - Upcycle it - Progress Week 3

I could also see it not being FEASIBLE to post every week, if you've run into a hitch in development
You might be surprised at how some challengers got very good advice and were able to progress BECAUSE they blogged and someone reading suggested a solution.

The Road Tests don't have the weekly blogging requirement, it's the Design Challenges.

Often I find writing down a problem allows you to:
* Vent frustration
* Clarify things in your head
* Get feedback

I tend to write my problems in a post aside from the blog post, then include a link to it in my blog when I made progress. Still, it's sometimes a few days to get a response, and I have one post here that's yet to even get a response on an issue to the RoadTest I was trying to do.

It is not only your feeeling vandia but as far as I know the challenges posts are a expected to be a sort of the story telling of the project in all its aspects, not the perfect explanation of how a certain product or project or idea has been created. It is just what is happening day by day (with a weekly publication). Seeing things under this point of view, the right post, I mean just the parts describing the project should be done a posteriori when the project has been finished.

Enrico,

I agree with you here. The blogs are storytelling of the project.

Thanks for mentioning it.
