Since its creation, the HiveBuzz project has aimed to support users' engagement on the Hive platform. End of last year, we announced a new badge for regular publishers: the Yearly Author Badge.
This badge was requested by many of you and it seems that its existence has motivated more than one to tackle the difficult task of publishing at least one post every day.
It has now been six months since this challenge, which lasts a whole year, was launched and here we are now in the middle of the journey. It's time to take a quick look at the state of play and see how many authors are still in the running.
A squad of committed publishers.
For information, last year, only 51 authors would have deserved this badge. At the time of writing, they are 196 still in the running for the trophy this year.
Congratulations to the following authors for their daily commitment:

Congrats to them for the effort deployed until now. We wish you good luck because the road is still long. You need to keep up the pace for the next 6 months.
A quick reminder of the rules
To find out if you are entitled to receive a Yearly Author badge and validate when you published your post, Hivebuzz uses the time of the blockchain which is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)!
If you post at the wrong time, i.e. taking into account your local time or way of considering weeks, you may miss both badges and will have to wait till the next Monday or month to be able to earn your coveted badge.
These particularities in the validation rules have led to many users contacting us to ask us why they have not received their badges.
Track your progress
To help authors know if they're still on track to earn their badges, they can check the progress indicators below their badges:
They will let you know how many days you published a post this week, month or year.
If the gauge is green, it indicates that you are on your way to earning the badge. If the gauge is red, it means you missed one or more days of the week or month, or you still haven't posted today.
Good luck to all the challengers. How many of you will be able to hold it to the end?
Hang on!
