Ok, so we are coming up fast on the 2011 #24HCD (24 Hour Comic Day) challenge and soon it'll be a trending topic on Twitter and Facebook. There are two types of people who want to talk about #24HCD:

• Aspiring artists who are taking the challenge for the first time and could use advice or help.
• Seasoned artists who love the company of other creative types but may already have a completed book.

With the new Twitter hashtag (you've already seen it twice in this post) you can become part of the same conversation when you search for #24HCD (there it is again!).

For those who've never used a hashtag on Twitter:

1. Go to twitter.com

3. Read the bounty of 24 Hour Comic Day stuff in conversations all around the world.

For those who want to use the hashtag:

1. Sign in to your twitter account.
2. Write out a new tweet about 24 Hour Comic Day.
3. Add the hashtag anywhere in the tweet (ex. "I'm going to #24HCD! How about you?"). We put it at the end of our tweets but you can put in inside a sentence if you like. Just make it make sense.
