To visit the live carnival, please click the link below
The carnival is open to all bloggers - parenting bloggers, food bloggers, poets, crafty crafters, TV bloggers, or fashionistas, and everything in between. There will also be a separate, tandem carnival for any business blogs that want to take part too.
The idea is that we all provide a guest post for someone else's blog, and host someone else's in return. Like a swingers party, without the car-keys. Or the actual swinging.
The swaps will be completely random, and will be a round the table swap, where your host isn't the same blogger as your contributor. This is an opportunity to get your words onto someone else's blog and find some more readers, and to have something fresh on your own blog. We may also make some new bloggy friends along the way.
For all you newbies, this is a chance to get on an established blog. For all your veterans, this is your chance to help out the little people.
There are some guidelines on the post below. I reserve the right not to allocate a swap to anyone who breaches the guidelines.
If you want to take part, please get in touch via email troublesmum@gmail.com as soon as possible, and get writing. I will allocate swaps by the 22nd of February, and we all hit the publish button on the 29th. Easy Peasy. A badge will be available in time, with a bit of luck. There will also be a linky here so others can see who has taken part.
Happy Swapping!!
The post:-
Should be at least 400 words, but no more than 1000.

Any pictures need to be copyright free and available to use by the blog owner.

So as not to devalue your host's blog, please no posts with external links to third parties.

Sounds interesting. I'm brand new though so not sure I'm "technical" enough yet.
ReplyDeleteDon't be silly, it's very easy. The most technical thing you will need to do is copy the code for the badge, and that's very straightforward. It will be a good way to learn.
DeleteYou email me the text and pics for your post, and I email someone elses to you. You copy and paste into a new blog post, add the badge and you're done.
Email me if you want to take part.
Brilliant idea.
ReplyDelete(I'm glad you clarified that there isn't any actual swinging going on)

When will the swap take place, when would I have to have the post written by? That will effect if I can join in or not.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogerversary!
