Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.
~Andrew Sullivan
Pull up a chair, bean bag, cushion, yoga mat, whichever your fancy. Join the party and let’s welcome spring with food and music while enjoying the company of friends and acquaintances in the blogosphere.
Blog orย link parties or meet & greetsย are the most basic and fun way for bloggers to share their work with an audience they might not normally reach and also toย exchangeย ideas with fellow bloggers as well providing an opportunity for the host blog to possibly gain some extra traffic.

ย For the NEWBIES, here’s how it all worksย ๐
1. Leave your own blog or social media link in the comment section below, along with a brief introduction of your site or share a link toย someone elseโs blog.
2. Be kindโ one link per comment, but you can post as many comments as you like because the forum is always open so you can return as often as you like.
3. Keep the fun going -Invite your friends. ย The more people who know, the more readers you will attract to your blog.
4. Share, share, share!! Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, Facebook, Bloglovinโฆ..or whichever social site you are using, spread the word. Itโs a great way to find new bloggers and help them find you.
If you find hosting a blog party is too much for you, simply create a special post and invite people to leave links to their website or the website of their friends in the comment section of that post.

Hello there Etta & friends!! ๐
Seems like the perfect day to celebrate Spring since we’re about to break a weather record dating back to 1956… The temperature should get all the way to 12 or 14 degrees Celcius in Montrรฉal! Yay!
So I thought I’d make refreshing Sangria and treat you and your guests ๐
If you haven’t seen me around (which wouldn’t be surprising, I have been a little quiet lately, but preparing to come back to make my blog as lively as it used to be ๐ ) I am Cyranny! My home away from home is the Cove, and with a little scrolling, you’ll find silly life anecdotes, poetry, short stories, travel recallings and pictures…
I love interacting with visitors, so make sure to drop me a little message if you come and check out the Cove ๐
Here’s a story I started recently… Hoping you’ll enjoy it!

Cheers to our host, and time for me to go visit the lovely blogs posted above….
