Word Count Journal is a blogging platform focused on doing a little bit everyday. When you sign up you create a journal like you would create a project. You specify some parameters that you think you can stick to. Say - maintain output for 1 year and increase the number of words in each post by one each day for the year, starting with one word. They are the default options, and are what I signed up for.

I am strangely attracted to the concept. And the added bonus of adding a photo to each entry is really nice. It becomes much more of a photoblog, especially when you only have 1 or 2 words to describe it. So far I have stuck to the limits and produced a post every day with the right number of words. Here are some of them.

There are a few little bugs in the system, and things that I would prefer to work slightly differently. For instance the images are not put in the RSS feed and they are awkwardly resized on the page (as seen above). But I got in touch with the people behind the service and they assure me there will be improvements very soon.

For the moment I am mirroring all the content on Flickr where I can store the photos in full resolution - in this friends only photoset.
