My best blog friend Jen from The King and Eye created Blog Gems about 7 months ago, and wants to continue the tradition while she focuses all of her attention on her son's health. I offered to take over hosting this week and we will find others who are willing to keep it going too!
Button HTML
How many posts do you have languishing in your archives? Great posts that will never be dusted off and brought out to breathe again! Maybe you created fabulous content before you had lots of followers, or maybe you have been blogging for years and your current followers haven't seen your older material.
Blog Gems - Air Your Archives is a forthnighly linky list where we will give a prompt and you select a post from your archives that fits the prompt. You do not have to create content for the prompt, unless you want to. All you have to do is copy and paste the url of the post into the linky list. Voila, an old post gets a second shot!
To take part:
1. Follow my blog to get future Blog Gem posting information and linkys.
2. Grab the Blog Gem button and place it on your sidebar (html code here or above)
Putting the button on your blog is not a dealbreaker, some people just don't like doing it and I have no problem with that at all. What I will say is that something like this can't be successful without 'word of mouth' so I would appreciate if you could find another way to let people know that this is available and they are welcome to join in.
3. Enter your link.
4. Read and comment on the submissions of the two blogs posted before you on the linky list. (Please!)
5. Help me spread the word by telling your blogging friends, either by tweeting this or blogging about your entry.
Since Jen is in need of some laughs, let's link up to anything that is laugh out loud funny. If you have nothing laugh out loud funny, just link to a post that will make us smile!
Broad interpretations of the prompt are encouraged so this could be a good chance to be creative!
For any newer bloggers don't worry if you have to link up posts that you have linked up before, it is very unlikely that you will end up with the same readers as last time so continue to join in and have fun. Many, many thanks to those of you that blog about Blog Gems, I really appreciate the links and help getting the meme 'out there'.
