        <p>I&#8217;ve been participating in Internet memes since the late 1990s, starting with (I believe) the original Friday Five. I also participated in Blogger Insider, where bloggers were paired up and then &#8220;interviewed&#8221; each other; Baker&#8217;s Dozen, where people posted twelve items and one photo about their week; Free for all Friday, where bloggers &#8220;gave out the keys&#8221; to guest posters for the day; Thursday Threesome, which gave out a different three-word phrase each week for free association; the Alchera Project, a monthly writing meme; the If Project, another regular writing meme; and at least two different image-based memes (image creation, not digital photos - this was in 2000 when digital cameras were not nearly as prevalent). The most recent was Thursday Thirteen. I&#8217;m sure there have been others along the way.</p>

<p>Each of these was subtly different from the others. Some had a different theme each round, some didn&#8217;t; some required visits to other peoples&#8217; sites; almost all had a central site for getting the original code and for listing off member posts. Each of them had things that I enjoyed, things that I didn&#8217;t really use or pay attention to, things that mildly irritated me, and things that I felt were missing. So when Thursday Thirteen&#8217;s creator announced that meme&#8217;s retirement this past week, I decided to finally do something myself: put together a community that combined things that I really enjoyed.</p>

<p>Enter Iterations. Since each week may be just slightly different from previous weeks &mdash; variations on a theme &mdash; Iterations is an excellent name. There are two levels of participation, so that people can &ldquo;stick their toe in&rdquo; and see if the community works for them. Take a look around, read the content that&#8217;s already in place, ask questions, and pose suggestions.</p>

<p>And don&#8217;t forget to check back on Wednesday!</p>
