If you’ve ever let your boys eat waffles and syrup in your bed, this is the contest for you.
If you’ve ever torn up the house looking for your phone while you were talking on it, where have you been all my life?
The unorganized, the lenient, the talented writer. Welcome!
If you’re one of life’s superstars who finds your keys on the very first try in the mornings and gets dressed from clothes hanging in your closet and eats dinner by flowers and candlelight next to a spotless kitchen, welcome, talented blogger!
Lovelinks started as a way to bring new readers to the smaller blogs that were awesome, yet underexposed. It’s grown to a humble little community that keeps its members cozy at night with hot chocolate and cool cucumber wraps. Writers, bloggers, mommybloggers, WAHPs, WTFers, we’re all here each week starting on Tuesday, blog hopping, reading, commenting then coming back on Thursday to vote our favorites for the week.
For the next four weeks, lovelinks is offering the chance to be featured in The Bloggess sidebar for one month. The contest rules and FAQs are here. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me, but I tried to make it as simple as possible. You don’t have to “like” anything or tweet anything or leave a comment anywhere unless you want to. But, the more you like, tweet and comment on submitted links this month, the more fun the contest will be for your blog.
Also, Twitter is the quickest way for me to communicate stuff throughout the week about the contest, so if you want, you can follow me @freefringes.
The only official entry request is that you include the following sentence at the end of your submitted post:
Click here for the chance to win a slot in The Bloggess sidebar for a month sponsored by freefringes.com
If you don’t want to include that tiny bit of promotional prose ruiner, you can still submit your post by linking it less overtly and we’ll still visit and read, but you won’t be eligible for the sidebar ad prize.
The Bloggess gets an average of one million page views a month. Why shouldn’t your blog or pet project get a piece of that? Why not let lovelinks buy the $100 ad for you?
Enter lovelinks and make it happen.
Lovelinks #23 is open for submissions.
Hey – how do you vote? I think I should still be able to vote for a few more hours …
(Sorry. I’m a dolt).
Voting had been closed for a few hours by the time you left your comment. We have a new round opening Tuesday!
This is so exciting! I can’t wait to read all these other lovely links. Thanks for the opportunity!

Jeanne, this week’s lovelinks is closed. I’ll add you to the email list. You’ll get a notification next Tuesday and you can enter your post at that time. I’m excited you’re excited!
Okay, thanks! I just discovered this and it’s taking me a while to catch up- looking forward to it!
This is so exciting! I can’t wait to delve into all these other links. Thanks for such a great opportunity, I love The Blogess!
SO MANY POSTS TO READ!!
But that being said, I already have a few favorites. 😀
I keep changing my mind about my favorite one. I need some chocolate.
Great idea and thankful that the opportunity is openly given for free. Thanks. Aw, I hope one of us small bloggers can win it. Pretty please with a cherry on top.
Wouldn’t that be awesome? Good luck!
This is really a genius idea for a contest.
Your coment needs to be engraved on something I own. Or tattooed. Thanks!
Good luck everyone!! I’ve been thinking about buying ad space on The Bloggess for months but can never work it into my budget. I am crossing my fingers, toes and eyes!!!
I love reading all the new blogs! Will be visiting you all today!
Cross everything and remember it’s a month-long contest. Good luck!
Brilliant contest, Erica! What a fun way to meet other bloggers too!
It takes me two hours a night after work to get around to everyone and that’s without leaving comments. I need to win the lotto and do this full-time!
What a great contest!!
Thanks, Rach! It’s even more fun than I thought it would be. Good luck!
Shoot – I got all excited when I read “win a slut”, but I suppose “a slot” in The Bloggess’ sidebar would be okay too. The post I linked up is one of my first “real” posts when I tried my hand at actually writing more than just a few funny phrases my son said. Don’t know that it’s one of my most popular ones, but it’s by far one of my favorites.
A slut in The Bloggess sidebar. Haha. Tomato, tomato, I guess!
“Win a slut” – ha! that killed me. (-:
It’s both fun and frustrating to compete against your friends. I love these guys. But yeah, I’m still voting for myself. So there. 😛
It’s a friendly competition. It’s like playing cutthroat with an ice cream scoop. And sprinkles.
Awesome contest! Best of luck to all the contenders! This is a fun one!
It does seem like fun. And we’re just getting warmed up!
Oh boy, I wonder if she will send us all metal chickens too? Man, I love that girl…
Ha. I think I’m on my own for providing all contest loot. Thanks for linking up!
I decided to link up and old post (as in from May) but I just love the story so much and I’ve had nothing but great things said about it. I might also link up a newer post since we CAN do 2 a week, right? 😉
Should be fun. I hope you get a good turn out Erica
Five entries before 10 am is making me less nervous about turnout even though I’m still nervous about turnout. Thanks for linking up. I’ll wait for your second post!
Erica – so excited about this.
And to all you entering – NONE OF THAT SELF-DEPRECATING NONSENSE! We’re all here because we love to write and read blogs. Be courageous, fun, witty, amusing, spunky and confident like you all are!
Especially that confident one, because if you win, you could be getting a lot more traffic than before.
Very well said, Carina. Let’s be confident and put forth our best stuff. Somebody’s gotta win. Why not me? That should be the mantra.
A great mantra! I’m trying to get things back up an running at my blogs. Oh so long! But on the plus side, I think I have found a voice that isn’t just about writing in a literary way. It’s good. 🙂
I think it’s awesome this contest! It’d be great for lovelinks and all the awesome bloggers who link up!
Thanks for your undying lovelinks support, Alison!
It sounds really exciting Erica, to have free ad space on The Bloggess for a month. I haven’t been following her blog but the number of comments she gets on one post is just crazy a lot! I know I’ll have a fat chance of winning but here I am linking up again.
I think you have a great chance of winning. I love the honesty in your writing. Get ready to get out the vote!
