Kerry Purvis’s ICYMI Challenge
Kerry Purvis “created the ICYMI Challenge.
ICYMI = In Case You Missed It
Basically, the idea is that Medium’s algorithm only acknowledges recent content, as far as promotion etc. and our older articles get buried or archived, rarely to see the light of day ever again. This is a way of resurrecting some of our older posts, at least temporarily.
How To Play
#1. Share one to five of your older articles, especially the ones that aren’t being read.
#2. If you see someone else do the challenge, read at least one of their articles. Then clap for it, comment on it, and/or share it!
#3. Tag me, and (@ kerryfpurvis) and anyone else you like.
Optional-write a few words about why you picked each article.
So far, I have seen two other people respond to this challenge, Pamela Oglesby and Linda Lum but there maybe more. I have read at least one of the articles each of them shared as per the directions.
Here are my five posts:
