Creating a Blog Network

[Gingerbug]

Recently I have started some new blogs to go along with our special days/topics. (Yes I am addicted to blogging)

I am encouranging EVERYONE (okay as many people as possible) to create their own versions of these types of blogs and then we will link all of them...so we have a blog network for GPD, a blog network for Rudolph Day and so on and so on. This is an easy type of blog to start with because technically you could do just two entries a month and keep up. One entry with your list or plans for the month and one entry AFTER the day telling what you did or did not (some months) accomplish...add some clip art or photos and poof....you have a blog.

The difference between having a blog and posting here in a thread...umm....I suppose not a whole lot but it opens up the ability to post pictures...provides us with colorful pages to express ourslelves on and is just plain fun!

Here are my versions of the Day pages I am talking about:

Celebrate Me

Rudolph Day

Great Pumpkin Day

Turkey Day Journal

Hippity-Hoppity

Marge has some of hers up already:

Christmas Traditions

Scarecrows, leaves,and Pumpkins

COME JOIN US!!!!!

Count me in as well! I'll be back later to set up Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas blogs...I'm thinking about names...Hamlet related, of course!!

In addition to the ones already posted, I have a Fall and Thanksgiving one started. I am also thinking of starting one for Fourth of July.

Neat idea. I might join next week after we get my hubby's test results.

 

[MrsSoup]

Okay, I got mine setup and am working on it now.

It's a play on words. I was having a hard time coming up with a name I liked. LOL

Anyway, I have a spot all set up to add links for the Blog Ring. I'll be working on setting up my Rudolph day blog next.

 

[Gingerbug]

Oh this is getting VERY exciting....I am suppose to be working on the prompts for the garden journal class but I keep hopping on here to see whats new...I'll get everybody's links on my blogs as soon as possible...this will be FUN...and maybe it will inspire me to actually get more done on our "days" each month!

And, finally, my Turkey Day blog:

Okay Questions:

Coffeenut: Do you want to use your Fall Blog or your Thanksgiving blog for the Turkey Day Blog Ring???

Chili: Do you want your decorating blog to be Rudolph Day/Christmas? Or Great Pumpkin Day/Fall or both OR do you want me to include it over at Ginger's Journey as a "general blog???
Just let me know what you think the main focus will be or where you want it linked from.

Guys everybody's blogs are looking GREAT....love them all...Cathy especially like your photos!!!

 

[coffeenut]

I was thinking I would use my Thanksgiving one for Turkey Day and my Fall one for general fall ideas.

 

[Gingerbug]

Cool....I got you linked....if I have forgotten anyone's link on my blog...let me know.

For anyone that has even played around with the idea of creating a blog....doing one of these would be a great place to start....since you will always have something to write about and can respond to other people's blogs in the blog ring. AND if you just do two entries a month your blog will be current.

Okay, question, I put up a banner I made on my new Christmas blog and now I can't get it off. *sigh* It looks like crap and I need to fix it. Ginger, do you know how I can get it off? When I click on Remove Image it flashes to give me the other options and then it flashes back to the image I put on there so I don't have time to click anything else and the image stays there. Ugh!

Anyway, my Christmas blog is called Christmas Whimsy and you can find it here: http://christmaswhimsy.blogspot.com

 

[coffeenut]

Mrs Soup, I have done that. Go into layout click on edit at the top of your header. When it says delete image, click on that. then click save changes. when you get to layout page click on save changes, Then go to your Christmas page. Hope this helps :flower:

 

[Cathymac]

Mrs Soup, I love your header! I think it's very cute!

 

[MrsSoup]

That's what i've been doing and I just tried again and it's still there. The darn thing won't go away for some reason.

 

[MrsSoup]

Mrs Soup, I love your header! I think it's very cute!

Thank you. LOL I want to fix a few things on it and then put it back but I can't remove it so I guess it will stay.
