I have no idea how to start this but welcome to Collab Sunflower !
I originally tweeted the idea of a summer collaboration (collab for short.) blog during a #tbloggers at the end of May and I thought it would give a lot of us something to pass time with over the course of summer 2014, Whether your reading or writing this.
You'll learn soon that there is a topic for each week of Collab Sunflower and since this week's topic is 'Questions' here are some answers to some questions you may be thinking of !
What is a 'collab blog' ?
Well a collab blog is a blog where several bloggers write one blog together and there is typically one post per day and each blogger has a particular day they are to blog on. I haven't seen many collab blogs around but I do know that 'collab channels' were a huge craze on YouTube around 2-4 years ago and although some such as O2L for example still exist, A lot of them died out.
Is this blog permanent or will it end on a certain date ?
This collab is only for the summer and will finish before the end of August.
This collab is only for the summer and will finish before the end of August.
How many people are involved in this blog and when will they blog ?
There are eleven of us involved in this collab and there are links to all their blogs along the sidebar !
Depending on the blogger, 'Collabers' are posting either once a week or once every two weeks.
There will be at least one post every day excluding weekends and a post announcing the coming week's topic will be shared on a Sunday which will be written by the collaber who suggested the chosen topic.
What type of posts will be shared on this blog ?
All kinds of things will be discussed on this blog ! They will have some kind of connection to the particular week's topic but topics in general will hopefully be quite versatile.
Back to chatting about this week's topic, I chose it as I thought it would be an interesting discussion for the first week since we'll all be sharing our first posts. You would have seen the three definitions of the word 'question' at the beginning of the post and in my opinion this word covers such a variety of definitions and the action of it can change a definition creating a definition and so on. The word 'question' can become something quite lighthearted or something quite deep and I'm guessing that many of the posts this week will be slightly deep.
We use the word 'question' every day and it is honestly a word I am fascinated by ! In History, The Renaissance was the beginning of the modern world - A world that wouldn't exist as it does today if ways of the past had not been questioned. If questions had not been asked, Our knowledge wouldn't be so broad and wide, Countries would not be independent of one another, Religions would not have developed and human rights would not exist like they do today. It's easy though to forget that a few hundred years ago and even one hundred years ago in Western Civilisation, Many questions were forbidden and many people were afraid to ask certain questions and now we live in a Western World where we're allowed the freedom of speech and free opinions. In light of this, It's important we remember that in many parts of the world such as the Third World, There is still a lack of human rights and the citizens of those countries are not given the freedom of speech to question the lack of rights and other issues.
So after that long paragraph I really hope you enjoy this week's posts on Collab Sunflower !
