Okay friends...I think I'm ready!
Remember this post? Seems like I had a lot of interest in the "personals" idea I threw out there...soooooo...let's do it!
Ever since I've started this whole blog thing...I've always wanted a place for one stop blog shopping!
Somewhere you (or me, or your neighbor, or your cousin's uncle's best friend's grandma...it's just easier for me to use a collective "you"...you know?!) can go and find other fabulous blogs.
And, I've also wanted to find a way to recognize some of YOU who visit my blog and leave me fun comments and read my posts and shake your heads thinking, "crazy nut job weirdo!"
So, this is what I've come up with...
If you would like to be "listed" in my personals...send me an email at fivecrookedhalos at gmail (dot) com (or, click on the goofy little photo in the upper left sidebar for my email address)! In the email, provide a link to your blog (or the URL is fine), the title and a brief "personal" about your blog (oh, and will you put "personals" in the subject line, pretty pretty please?!).
For example...my personal would read something like this, "Mama M.: Married nut job weirdo of five, loves blogging about labor and delivery and daily life. I enjoy humor and not taking life too seriously. I do love pina coladas, but not getting caught in the rain."
You know...a little "teaser" to get people interested in clicking to your blog.
Then...once a week, I will highlight a blogger to be the "Date of the Week" (I'm working on buttons for both the "Personals" direct link, and the "Date of the Week"...and I'm not too tech savvy, so it might be a while!) and that blogger will be displayed right at the top of the Personals page and on my sidebar!
How does that sound? Any questions?
I'm really excited to launch this!
Spread the word...oh, and when you are "listed"...I have a cute little button for you to display on your blog, if you'd like!
All right...let's roll!
