Due to some distractions and mishandling of scheduled posts on my part, I broke my blogging streak. I got up to 198 days, which isn’t bad, and I’m looking forward to beating it next time. A lot of people might not know this, but if you’re on WordPress.com or run Jetpack when you start a posting streak it will give you a notification high-five every day you continue it, this was the last one I got:

My sinuses do not get along with the rest of my body. I seem to have contracted what I can only hope is a common cold, with all the symptoms to be expected with such a malady. Now beyond the normal yuckiness, this is espescially a bummer (technical term) because…
You might have noticed there have been more posts around here lately. Actually until yesterday (Oct 3) there was an unbroken string of at least one post a day since August 25th, 40 posts in total. It started with a tweet from Colin Devroe: https://twitter.com/cdevroe/status/504630581117063169 Until now I forgot it…

Next streak 365 days!

This is one of the reasons why I built this plugin.
That looks much better than Editorial Calendar which is what I was using.
Hey Matt, it seems there’s some nerdy wordy shortcut madness around. Reading through your latest tweet… from #WCScranton. WC (like used in WCs) could also be understood as a shortcut for ‘Water Closet’
I really hope you have fun on stage and fixing the typos and shortcuts for a better understanding and/or internationlized laugh. Never mind me being so cheeky!
You’re streak was/is impressive and inspiring. I run Jetpack on a self-hosted blog and have my own streak going, but haven’t received any notifications. Do I need to turn something on or dig deeper? I couldn’t find any mention of streaks in support docs or google.
Make sure that the Notifications Module is active: http://jetpack.me/support/notifications/
Thanks for your reply. The notifications module is active and I am receiving badges for likes, comments, etc. Perhaps the streak has to reach a set threshold and I’m just not there yet.
Your annual post-per-day average is still very high. We are 200 days into the year. I’m betting that by the end of 2015, your overall average will be more than one post-per-day. A couple of “double post” days will easily put you over the top!
That is a fantastic streak Matt, better than most!
Where can I see a list of all badges and achievements? I am using Jetpack on a self-hosted blog and I can’t find any streaks.
I’m assuming this is all tongue-in-cheek, because in reality quantity is lame. I write 2 – 4 posts per month at briandonohue.org (but they average around 1,500 words each).
Is there a Streak Broken badge?
