I am not sure what made me start acknowledging “special days”, but I have been doing it almost since the start of the Mercheum Blog. While working on the big project gathering data on every post made, I decided to make a list of what days I had acknowledged. I then summarized the list, and broke the result into two categories:
Acknowledge every year
- World Intellectual Property Day
- Free Comic Book Day
- International Museum Day
- World Wide Web Day
- World Photo Day
- Museum Day Live!
- National Comic Book Day
- Local Comic Shop Day
Acknowledge with related exhibit
- Record Store Day
- International Tabletop Day
- National Pin-back Button Day
- Official holidays, such as Valentine’s Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving etc.
I intend to use these lists to help keep me on track with posting in the future. Are there any days you feel should be included that are not? Should I stop acknowledging special days? Let me know what you think in the comments below!
