Find a Friend Friday...Give Aways and Blog Hops Too!!!

Hello to all my wonderful friends out there. It's Friday and the start of another week of linking. Today is also the start to DOUBLE linking Friday and I am so excited.

The first section is still Find a Friend...where you link up your whole blog so new friends can stop by your blog for a visit.

The second section is for anyone having a blog give away or a blog hop. I don't have a clever name for that...too long to say "Find a Give Away and Blog Hop Friday". Maybe "Find Some Fun Friday".

So, here it is...2 sections. Link up to one or the other or both. You can also just stop by for a visit and not link up at all!!

********************************

SECTION 1...LINK YOUR BLOG


If you are new to Find a Friend Friday (FaFF), you are in for a treat! It's a simple linking party to add a link to your blog so friends, old and new, can stop by and visit.

It's great to share your blog with everyone, but it's also fun just to look around. Even if you don't have a blog, you can find a wealth of great people willing to share their talents. and another great blog to follow.

This is an easy one to participate in...you are just linking to your own blog. No projects to sew, no furniture to paint, no cookies to bake or pictures to take. You are just sharing your blog and then friends will stop by for a looksy.
  • click on the blue "click here to enter" link in THIS section
  • copy and paste or just type in your blog address...example: http://sewmanyways.blogspot.com
  • enter title of link...your blog name or phrase to grab attention
  • add a photo of you, your profile picture or your blog button or whatever you think will grab some one's attention...(I'm thinking a picture of a big piece of chocolate cake, but that just me LOL)

SECTION 2...LINK GIVE AWAY OR BLOG HOP

This section is perfect for anyone having a blog give away or a blog hop. We all love having friends enter give aways and participate in blog hops, but sometimes it's hard to get the flow of people to those blogs. What better way to share all that info than to have them advertised all in one place.

Same steps to enter as above EXCEPT you need to enter the URL address of your give away or hop...NOT your whole blog. It makes it easier for everyone to find that particular post.

To find the URL of a particular post, just click on the post title and then paste that address in the linking party section.

So in a nut shell...

  • click on the blue "click here to enter" button under THIS section
  • copy and paste URL address for the particular post of the give away or hop
  • enter title to grab their attention 
  • add photo of give away items or blog button for give away or blog hop


That's it...super easy. Just think of the possibilities of finding all those wonderful blogs, give aways and hops out there.

Thanks for participating,
~Karen~
