Besides St. Patrick’s Day and March Madness, what else is happening in March? Here are national and global observance and awareness days, which will more than likely be trending on X (formerly Twitter)AND other social media networks.
These are just some of the observance and awareness days. For the full list, visit these sites:
These calendars offer some links to details on the observances that might help you if you’re blogging. Schedule out posts using Sendible (affiliate link). And don’t forget those silly, but useful hashtags that trend X (formerly Twitter) regularly!
Most of these will have hashtags — YES hashtags still work, but are used differently! Be careful with apostrophes. Hashtags work only with letters and numbers. As soon as you add a space or a symbol, it ends the hashtag.
