2026 Blaugust 01 - Here We Go Again

What, Who & Why?

The original challenge was to post 31 times during the month of August. This can be posting every day or doubling up on some days to make the schedule a bit easier. The idea is to spark creativity and get folks to create more content, not grinding them into burnout for some lofty goal.

Blaugust is the brainchild of Mark Temple, more commonly known as Belghast, author of Tales of the Aggronaut. We lost Belghast on July 2, 2026. The Blaugust Discord mentors have decided to move forward with hosting the event this year, as they believe he would want to see it continue.

I haven't been excellent at keeping up with my posts this year, for one reason or another. So I thought I'd try and bump start the habit with another stab at this 31 post challenge.

Plans for the Month

One of the reasons why I've not been posting lately is because I've been working on the next iteration of myPOSSE. I'm not sure I'm going to keep the name as this next version is a lot more complicated. I'll keep the details for another post, but I'll probably try and use the month to flesh out my ideas for it maybe even start building it. It worked last year as it forced me to get my head down an actually build myPOSSE-builder and start using it.

Song for the Post

Last year I tried to tie a song to each post and added an embed for it from YouTube, it was a pain to get the embed to work with myPOSSE-builder. So this year I'll just have a link to a song I like or that I'm listening to at the moment and try and make the title work with the post😉.

Here We Go Again • Oliver Tree & David Guetta

On May 30, 2026, Oliver Tree began his first world tour to promote Love You Madly Hate You Badly. The tour abruptly ended after Tree was killed in a helicopter collision over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on June 14. Tree and five others, Gaspi, Lucas A. Vignale, Lucas Frota and the two helicopter pilots, were all confirmed to be victims of the crash by Rio de Janeiro police.
