Yesterday’s post was my 1,600th post. I didn’t realise, and if I had, I would have posted something slightly better than a scribble.
Ah well, coulda woulda shoulda and all that jazz.
To celebrate reaching this milestone, I’m going to use it as a basis for my new Monthly Theme. For March, the theme is:
…The Next Level…
If you so wish to use the theme for one or more of your posts during March, here are all the details you need:
There aren’t any rules actually, just a few guidelines:
- Write a post (or more, if your imagination is well and truly fired!) based on the theme I provide. The post can take any form / genre / length you choose.
- Link your post to the post on this blog (Beyond the Sphere) that introduces the theme for the month (so basically, THIS POST for March’s theme!)
- Visit other bloggers who take part, and read their interpretation of the theme.
- And that’s it! Oh, and if you could pass the word on, that would be lovely. The more the merrier after all!
And have fun!
Wow, that’s very impressive Tom, congrats and you really have taken it to the next level 🙂

1,600 – very impressive! Is it just this theme that is new, or is it new that you’re doing a monthly theme at all? Either way, good idea!

Thanks, Vanessa!
I have to answer your question in three ways:
Yes, this theme (the WordPress theme) is a new one…
Yes, the monthly suggested blogging theme idea is a new one that I only started last month…
And yes, the theme for March is a new one from today, for this month.
I could have just answered yes, but it didn’t feel like it was enough! 😀
