Coming Soon "BYC Project 365"!

BYC Project 365—One Photo a Day, One Memory at a Time!
—Snap • Share • Remember—
Capture Your Everyday Life on BYC!​

The concept is simple but powerful: each BYC member can start their own "journal" by starting a thread on BYC by uploading one photo per day. These photos can be anything—their chickens, gardens, pets, daily life moments, or something that made their day special. Members can add comments or notes to each photo and even share their journal thread with friends and family.

Why this is exciting:

• It gives members a simple, fun way to document their everyday lives.
• Over time, members will build a personal visual diary they can look back on and treasure.
• It encourages daily engagement without being stressful; there’s no pressure if someone misses a day.
• It strengthens the sense of community, as members can see and interact with friends’ posts

Who's going to join me?

Me! This seems easy and therefore possible for lazy me! Great idea!

This sounds like fun! Would everyone make their own thread? Reply to one official thread?

 

[Shadrach]

Done it.

I'm trying to flesh out the details. The "main" thread will start 1/1/2026.

Done it.

Where?

Me!

I'm also going to start a "52-week photography challenge." I asked Google what one was and it says:

In fact a few people have running threads which they regularly update.
By Bob tends his thread, or did, daily. He's been at it since 2019. I've been at it for the last four years. I post daily.
Granny Hatchet has been doing it for years, maybe more of a chat thread than topic dedicated.
There are quite a few more in Pictures And Stories Of My Flock; fuzzi, thistlewick, Katabelly, Mary Janet, Ribh...

Will this be a new section in the albums or the Life and Family forums?

If not, how is this any different than those sections we already have?

This is similar to those, but different in that the goal is to take and post one picture a day for an entire year.

Will this be a new section in the albums or the Life and Family forums?

For now, it will be in Random Ramblings or Family Life - Stories, Pictures & Updates.

If not, how is this any different than those sections we already have?

It's different than anything we've done before. See the video above.
