LINKY FOLLOWER PARTY HOP

You may recall I told you that Google friend connect will be going away on February 29th for anyone who isn't with blogspot. Rumor also is saying it may even go away all together in the future. For all of you who want to stay connected there is a new following tool called

 Linky Followers . 

If you haven't signed up you can do so for free.

There's a great blog hop party going on in celebration of this new tool.

RULES:

1. You must have the LINKY FOLLOWER TOOL on your sight to participate.
(You can have both the Linky Follower and GFC on your site but must have the Linky Follower tool to participate in this party hop.)

2. You must follow the person who has the party on their site as a thank you. (Follow in Linky Follower)

3. Just add your blog button to the linky party below.

4. Grab the BLOG HOP code. You will find the cone under the Linky Party under it says: What is a BLOGHOP? GET THE CODE HERE
Click on get the code here and enter it into a post on your site.

5. Then follow other bloggers - as many as you want.
Leave each blog you follow a comment to let them know you are following them and ask them to follow you back.

If you want to add the BLOG HOP to your own site you will get lots of new followers–(see rule #2)
I'm planning to go Hopping from Blog to Blog and to follow everyone who follows me.  Come join the fun!

Blog Hop Party

I'm participating in Creative Share blog hop @ Trendy Treehouse. I'd love it if you would join in the blog hop.

Button Swap Blog Hop

I'm participating in a blog hop @ Blogger Chix Designs

Today is the first weekly Button Swap Blog Hop! Where bloggers can get to gether and swap buttons to help promote and support each other.

Here are the details from her:
Here at Blogger Chix Designs I encourage bloggers to be proactive and involved in growing their blogs. Swapping buttons with other bloggers is going to get your name out there so new readers can find you which will increase your traffic. So whip those buttons out and get ready to swap till you drop :-).

Guidelines:

1. Grab the Blogger Chix Designs button and put it on your blog/blog roll (first link on the list). Leave me a comment while you're there and I'll grab your button and add it to my blog roll too!

2. Add the blog hop list (instructions below list) to your Button Swap Blog Hop post on your blog. Be sure to include the guidelines so all the buttons you swap with others will be returned by them grabbing yours as well. *Be sure to include your button's copy code in you Swap Post.

3. Link your blog post up to the blog hop. (You only need to link up once and it will show up on all the hop lists on all the blogs participating).

4. Then start visiting the other participants! Grab their button and add it to your blog sidebar or blog roll, and leave them a comment telling them your visiting from the BSBH party! Be sure to return the favor to anyone visiting you.

*Tip for having lots of buttons swap success - don't wait for others to come to you, go to them first!*
