What plans do you have for your blog in the new year? A new or better design? Writing more frequently or less frequently? Whatever your plans are, remember you have a pretty strong community here at lovelinks full of writing and blogging resources. Stalk our blogs, our Twitter feeds and our Facebook pages, get to know us. I think we’re good peoples who can always point you in the right direction. I admit I can sometimes get a little busy for detailed questions if I’m working on a paid project, but I can certainly connect you to people who can connect you to people, and that’s the next best thing.
Don’t forget you can earn karma points towards cool blog elements including a new blog header, a new WordPress premium theme or 12 months’ free hosting on Blue Host for a courageous blogger who leaves Blogger for WordPress just by entering lovelinks week after week. The karma points chart is here, and I’m working on creating a Google Docs spreadsheet that will help everyone keep track of his or her points. Not only does lovelinks want you to write gud, we want you to look gud while doing it.
Thanks for a wonderful eight months and counting here at lovelinks. I’mma go ahead and open up this week without too much fanfare. Be kind to each other and be supportive. Introduce a friend to lovelinks who may need a little community spirit in his blogging life.
Write something new this week, and rock our worlds.
Lovelinks #37 is open.
So sad I won’t be joining. I haven’t written anything. I will be sure to come back and vote though! Good luck everyone!
Thanks for voting, Dee. Once a lovelinker, always a lovelinker 🙂
Ok I dozed last week. I got my blog picked out. Here goes.
Here goes!
Hi 🙂 Just found you 🙂 Really awesome what ur doing here 🙂 – I haven’t got any design changes to my bog for the new year but I’m going to start posting my photography, so that’s exciting 🙂
btw – I linked up but don’t see my link – :/ is it up?
I see you down there on the grid. Thanks for linking up, and have fun!
Excited to be here reading and commenting on all these wonderful posts. Shirley and I have taken a bit of a blogging vacation this week, but I could not stay away! Who would have guessed I’d come to catch up with everyone and get to see Erica with a very red bottle of peppermint liqueur! I’ll take a glass!! -Laverne
LV, I didn’t open the peppermint cuz I was working with a bottle of sweet tea bourbon that eventually did me in.
OOOOO I have a nick name now….Give you some sweet tea bourbon, you have a hangover (it is one word) and I have a nick name!!! Love it! LV…GGGEEEEE!! Sorry! {whispering} yeah! Hope your feeling better. -LV
My stepmom’s name is La Verne. It’s a bitch to spell out all the time, so I’ve given you her nickname from me. It is, as you’ve figured out, an honor. 🙂
So, is this the FINAL design? And the links look awesomesauce!
Final? Haha. You crack me up.
oh shoot. I love your angst but did not mean to ADD to it. all I meant was I see it as purple. that could be me or my computer monitor but it is NOT you! xoxo
It’s not hard at all to add to my angst. While I was waiting for your answer, though, I found some bourbon and some peppermint liqueur in the pantry. I am good!
I love you and your angst. But your blue looks like my purple. I think we can still be friends. xoxo
That was some panicked email, eh? I think it’s refreshing to lose one’s mind over the holidays.
I really want to include the adorable badge in my post but am seemingly not smart enought to figure it out so have just been linking the URL. Any tips? Sorry and thanks!
I sent you an email, mama. Lemme know if it worked.
Did you mean poop or pop on your about me…
I’m hoping to pull some more newbies in this week if I can!
I never typo! I said poop, I meant poop. 🙂
Grabbed the badge for my post, but don’t see a place for the link up. What am I missing? Do I have a holiday hangover? http://sperk77.blogspot.com/2011/12/two-household-christmas.html
We’re good now, right?
Love the tag line you put up under the Lovelinks title!
Thanks! I figured it was time for me to tie free fringes and lovelinks together 🙂
I’ve been following along for a bit and finally decided to join in. Fun!
Thanks for joining in! Have fun with your linkup!
Here to link up at Lovelinks :)) Err, still not fully understanding the karma points, but they sure sound good. lol.
I’ll explain them better with a spreadsheet. Life is always better with a spreadsheet. Thanks for linking up!
Me again Erica – I can’t see my post can you let me know if it’s linked up? Thanks (-:
That is so weird, but I had another person link up today with the same problem. I gotta find out what’s going on.
This week it just took a little time for me to be able to see it —> so it’s getting better! (-:
So for a newbie, is the idea to link to a post you’ve written in the last week?
I took care of you in email, right? For anyone else reading, a post written in the past couple of weeks is fine.
Email? Hmm…I don’t think so. But thanks for the answer!
Dang. I coulda sworn I sent you a note. I’m sorry. Glad we got it worked out 🙂
I’ve been MIA for a few weeks, but I’m back! Not in such a happy way, but I’m back. Glad to be back amongst my friends.
I love how you mentioned the lovelinks friendship community at the end of your post today. Thanks for being such a good part of us, Lori.
