Congratulations on undertaking an A Doll a Day project! And for taking, and posting, your Day One photo!
Coincidentally, I was thinking about attempting an A Doll a Day Project too! I attempted, and came close to completing, the "365 Toy Project" several times on Flickr, but that was several years ago, 2010, 2011, 2012. I also did the generic photo-a-day, not specific to dolls or toys. This year, I started posting "doll portraits" to Instagram a few days ago, with the idea to post one new photo every day, so technically my January 1st photo was my fourth post.
I would say that as long as you snapped a photo on January 1st, it counts. Having the Internet drop out is beyond your control. My internet service is spotty, too.
Good luck with your project! Perhaps I shall post my A Doll A Day photos here at the forum, too. The more of us who are participating, the more likely we are to keep at it, right?
The "365" groups on Flickr had different rules. Ideally, a participant will take and post a new photo every day. The idea is to encourage people to stay more active in the photography hobby. Most groups offered a little bit of leeway. In general, the idea was to take a photo every day. Not everyone has internet access every day, so the groups often allowed participants to upload three or four photos at a time, as long as the photos were taken on different days. Usually, taking multiple photos on one day and posting them over successive days was not considered a true Photo A Day according to group guidelines, since the idea was to encourage active photography and ongoing creativity. However, individuals choosing to attempt "365" projects can set their own rules. I used to have my own unwritten "3 day rule," which allowed me to miss up to three days without taking or posting a photo. If I did not take and post a photo after three days, I was done. If I did miss a few days, I would pick up from where I left off, which meant it would take a bit more than 365 days to complete the "365" project.

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
