I wanted to let you know that I will be combining this blog with my new blog at www.JenWright.net<br />
<br />
I am expanding my design work and now selling in Etsy and soon other places (announcement coming soon!) and I will be moving the blog from blogger to wordpress over the next month.<br />
<br />
As these changes happen, you will be notified so you are not 'lost' in the shuffle.<br />
<br />
I still will accept design work and am still working with previous clientele on an as-needed basis. So just contact me at info@jenwright.net, if you have any questions or orders.<br />
<br />
Please make sure you include your return email address where I can reach you.<br />
<br />
Happy 2013!!! I look forward to sharing my new designs with you this year!!<br />
<br />

How about a SPECIAL DISCOUNT for a UPDATED BLOG or NEW BLOG!?!?!<br />
<br />
I'm excited to finally have updated the store to reflect the new name!!<br />
JenWrightDesigns.com is the home of my scrapbook blog and JenWrightDesigns.com - Design Services will be this blog for blog/design services as they were with TheBlogCafe.org.<br />
<br />
I will be retiring TheBlogCafe.org and the new name will just be JenWrightDesigns You will be able to find me through my main blog and here.<br />
<br />
I am going to be adding a "Store" that will carry both designs and scrapbook supplies. We currently have a business called Peas & Pickles Supply (www.peasandpicklessupply.com) where you are able to find all our products we have for sale at this time, so please stop by!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping to close eBay and etsy stores and just host in one place on JenWrightDesigns.com for a one-stop shop! In doing this, I can lower my prices (because of etsy and ebay fees) and also offer more repeat customer discounts. YAY!<br />
<br />
Check out my portfolio to see some latest work I've been doing!<br />

Well, look no further than.. <b>GOOGLE ALERTS</b>!!!<br />
I've been using Google Alerts for over two years now and I love it!!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<b>Google Alerts</b> gives you email updates of Google results based on your choice of topic. You enter the topic (i.e. giveaways) or domain (i.e. http://theblocafe.org) and you will received the results of any content on the web using the topic or domain name you set the alert up for, by email.<br />
<br />
I love this option because I am able to control what blogs or sites use my information from my website.<br />
<br />
Google Alerts allows you to set up your alerts the you want. I set my alerts to email me "as-it-happens", instead of once a day or once a week. This allows me to react quickly, if someone is using my content, to either content them to remove it immediately, or to quickly "thank them" that is helping give exposure to my blog.<br />
<br />
So how do you do it? EASY!!<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1</b> - go to Google.com (sign in if needed)<br />
<b>Step 2 - </b>on top bar, click "MORE" to find services and then "EVEN MORE" to be taken to main page of all Google Services.<br />
<b>Step 3 - </b>Now click on "ALERTS" (see below)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBX_Y41gBbVov9BUq2-pFNe2qrn0yWUx3HcsrTq5sAvi59v-Gwo6Ew6dy2aTZhg6KffduMwOR6G1L-I-bj0NOPteKy2KvQ-ILrAMxGF5MoUzoRc2uV7Tfxxq32ZRZ_LdV-ESJiOMiLsQ0/s1600/GA-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBX_Y41gBbVov9BUq2-pFNe2qrn0yWUx3HcsrTq5sAvi59v-Gwo6Ew6dy2aTZhg6KffduMwOR6G1L-I-bj0NOPteKy2KvQ-ILrAMxGF5MoUzoRc2uV7Tfxxq32ZRZ_LdV-ESJiOMiLsQ0/s320/GA-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcgdSonqnVXlmcmEc-yGSB9q7XV9ND6xwJX7r71sndT7X7CM-T9nZQT1xHEQzRt6wiiAc5K6mQRdFjzyPqaomhnb-zEQ8IrI78My297iJrnLKN54xNg_xzTcof6IElE5tCPJqUr62yCqg/s1600/Step8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div><b>Step 4 - </b>Now you are taken to a page to "test" it but I want you to click on "<b>MANAGE MY ALERTS</b>"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqByjhE2dCu4oMBpImkzFIggbGCbt8ITE2en-OJZN07-Yy3BfaL0gs_D41nauVU6WzCwnqtnCXOH5hmDfbvb4tL75_a0hdRz_65f8HvHz_i7WMv3Yf23bg7yZm1iRTS9B8AUtLubGMKjg/s1600/GA-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqByjhE2dCu4oMBpImkzFIggbGCbt8ITE2en-OJZN07-Yy3BfaL0gs_D41nauVU6WzCwnqtnCXOH5hmDfbvb4tL75_a0hdRz_65f8HvHz_i7WMv3Yf23bg7yZm1iRTS9B8AUtLubGMKjg/s640/GA-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<b>Step 5 - </b>Now you will see any alerts you have set-up (if any). If not, here is where you will create an alert. Now Click "<b>NEW ALERT</b>"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWozljy4tbjR3VFkJg-geZPkpdo8yvX-xmyPCgXtk2Tad39QZGFOwd-NqUtM70AIRJDPkXfBB_-lbawk2mh3JX4V3GAvVsQSYog8pkZNY4F-Ts8lyQHXDprD9j-dUGMhFAz9v2tQde8-8/s1600/GA-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWozljy4tbjR3VFkJg-geZPkpdo8yvX-xmyPCgXtk2Tad39QZGFOwd-NqUtM70AIRJDPkXfBB_-lbawk2mh3JX4V3GAvVsQSYog8pkZNY4F-Ts8lyQHXDprD9j-dUGMhFAz9v2tQde8-8/s640/GA-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

I like Google Alert Service because it helps me watch to see who is referencing my blogs and how. Great service for being free!!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Activating your KLOUT account is very simple by just using your TWITTER and FACEBOOK account.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>How Does Klout Work?</strong></div><div>Klout determines your real social media influece by using your Twitter, Facebook and other variables to determine your Klout Score. Klout has three different measuring scales: True Reach, Amplification Probability and Network Influence. You score is on a scale of 1-100.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Your <strong>True Reach </strong>is measured by all your comments, tweets, likes and interactions with sharing and feeds. The more engaged you are with your followers and the internet bloggers, the higher your score.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Here are some examples of how your score is calculated:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Facebook: Comments, Likes, Posts, Shared, Reposted</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Twitter-: Mentions, ReTweets by others</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Google +: Comments on page, Reshares of your Posts, +1 of your articles.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">They are working to add more factors like blog platforms (Blogger, Typepad, Wordpress) and Youtube, Tumblr, etc.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><strong>2. AMPLIFICATION PROBABILITY (Huh??)</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Don't worry, its just a bunch of fancy words (or SAT words maybe, LOL) that means what is the probable outcome of your influence after you Tweet, Post, Comment, etc. They use this score to measure the interactions because of topic. This is actually helpful for you to see what topics have given you the best responses or influence.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><strong>3. NETWORK INFLUENCE (Yeah, its what it sounds like... how cool are you?)</strong><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This scoring tool is using Klout's own score to determine if you are influential in your network. Silly, I know but, its their company so they get to make the rules. LOL</div><strong>Is Bigger Better, regarding my network on Klout?</strong> No, not necessarily. As I stated above, Klout is looking at your "influence" by people responding, reacting to your content so your goal is to get them to ReTweet, Share, Repost, +1 your content.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Does it Hurt my score to affiliate with someone with low score?</strong> No, in fact its the opposite. The more "influence" you have the better your score will be. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Is it easy to raise my score?</strong> Actually No. The higher the score, the harder it is to raise it, as it should be. Your score is based on a 90-day window, so if you shouldn't see a constantly fluctuating rate/score in the three categories. If you are inactive for a long period, your score will be lowered but its based on recent activity. </div><div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Klout assigns you a "topic" based on your content and influence, but you can also "add topics" to your account that are what you want to "influence".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>What does a +K mean?</strong> The +K is saying to the world that this person has "influenced you in this area/topic". So for instance, if you have a lot of "recipes" on your blog, you would give them a +K for that topic, showing Klout and the world, they influence you most in that area.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Is there a "leaderboard" for +K's? </strong>Yes, there is! You can have a goal of collecting the most +K's in a certain topic in the 90-day window. You can receive a special colored "Sash" on your Score as a reward for your accomplishment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here are samples of the reward "Sash" that Klout will award you with if in the 90day window you are the Top Leader in +K's:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe0_quNeWqXrpiY_AlTlGmVGHJshb7QUgXNiCAsylRU6RTvn06vUmGEFUtEhyphenhyphenQ0PkuM8FAZkiENW3AE8oIeza0UsxU1d6umrcrC1AQyY7q9EYgn6n_-0aSCLUzLw48jgp56Bs3IUeXSc/s1600/sash-gold.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAe0_quNeWqXrpiY_AlTlGmVGHJshb7QUgXNiCAsylRU6RTvn06vUmGEFUtEhyphenhyphenQ0PkuM8FAZkiENW3AE8oIeza0UsxU1d6umrcrC1AQyY7q9EYgn6n_-0aSCLUzLw48jgp56Bs3IUeXSc/s1600/sash-gold.png" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0Hr177_hRds-qM5YmT5oz3ojGoSWZDjPRGYpX27_kctzBfXLx4l643hj5v6uZZj_GWOTWn1ib7YNUFfVanp7wNWim-bbxFKVXjZbTxeyPays6WBW0U1Sve0wlaqX5Fm5C7-XoS89RAs/s1600/sash-blue.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0Hr177_hRds-qM5YmT5oz3ojGoSWZDjPRGYpX27_kctzBfXLx4l643hj5v6uZZj_GWOTWn1ib7YNUFfVanp7wNWim-bbxFKVXjZbTxeyPays6WBW0U1Sve0wlaqX5Fm5C7-XoS89RAs/s1600/sash-blue.png" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbClyJxxMOky0uuDbc1PTJvrVSMddadewwnCCGw2-ZBXmSpYm0ZeeTTkqAu1SdH-6OatnTVslZL3nmQuFmpRBePSotFL272NtzrCOLEUbyhTmzHWtnXoMCj-hxQAAIDni16ghdEB2A19s/s1600/sash-blue-gold.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbClyJxxMOky0uuDbc1PTJvrVSMddadewwnCCGw2-ZBXmSpYm0ZeeTTkqAu1SdH-6OatnTVslZL3nmQuFmpRBePSotFL272NtzrCOLEUbyhTmzHWtnXoMCj-hxQAAIDni16ghdEB2A19s/s1600/sash-blue-gold.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><ul><li>Top influencers detected by Klout receive a GOLD sash. </li>

Welcome to my new weekly blog maintenance tips for 2012!<br />
You will get a new tips, how-to, or important update for you as a blogger with the most important topics to you!<br />
<br />
Don't want to miss out on my weekly Blog Tools Tuesdays? Make sure you are following me/subscribed to my emails and social media sources!<br />
Here is this week's topic - How to add a domain to your blogger account...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Many of my clients have asked or had me do this for them and so I felt it was a good one to start with since there are so many new bloggers in 2011/2012.<br />
<br />
First, you need a domain name (the www name you see up in the URL address bar is a domain name).<br />
If you do not have one, I can recommend a great resource that I've used for over 15 years... Netfirms.<br />
I've had excellent customer service for over 15 years and highly recommend them to all my clients for domain and/or hosting.<br />
<a href="http://www.netfirms.com/join/index.bml?AffID=677092&LinkName=blogtoolstuesday"><img alt="affiliate_link" src="http://www2.netfirms.com/affiliate/banners/848" style="border: 0px;" /></a><br />
<br />
Once you have purchased your domain through Netfirms or already own one, you will probably need to wait 24-48 hours for it to hit the WWW registry.<br />
Now, lets get started setting up your domain for your blogger account.<br />
<br />
<b>STEP 1</b><br />
Login to your Blogger.com account. Go to DASHBOARD. Now click on SETTINGS, PUBLISHING.<br />
Now you will see a small sentence that says:<br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b><strong>Switch to:</strong> • Custom Domain (Point your own registered domain name to your blog) </b></div>CLICK the words CUSTOM DOMAIN and it will drop down and open a new section.<br />
Now you want to click this sentence to switch to advanced settings:<br />
<b style="color: blue;">Already own a domain? <a href="">Switch to advanced settings</a></b><br />
<br />
<b style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Now you will see a domain box and "setting instructions" link underneath. CLICK THAT LINK to open Google's instructions for setting up your blog domain. You must open this to get the IP addresses you need. </span></b><br />
<b style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Follow the questions and answer to open the detailed instructions you will need. (see below)</span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5JoktyUGN3c/Tv97tzBO1bI/AAAAAAAAIUo/4GU6cbq0640/s1600/Step2a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5JoktyUGN3c/Tv97tzBO1bI/AAAAAAAAIUo/4GU6cbq0640/s640/Step2a.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-crD1igO3yY0/Tv97_LkRkZI/AAAAAAAAIU0/MQGsft6inVQ/s1600/Step3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-crD1igO3yY0/Tv97_LkRkZI/AAAAAAAAIU0/MQGsft6inVQ/s640/Step3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><b style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">STEP 2</span></b><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Now you need to open in a new tab your domain host company control panel or C-Panel.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Once you are logged in you need to find the DOMAIN panel that allows you to change your DNS properties. Choose your domain name and click DNS button.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ZSfCkbmLynOgWN7zYZNbncNIzMTP4YTMd_eLd7vV3w-odAm3SenTb24uqHF1oo3UNHStuIJvk7dMqo9eG0Vo1tocwYDjsvz-uOyIjTLAvaSTOilNBgn6ohRO9-UhUGOKXLyn7YGc2IU/s1600/Step1-Change-DNS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ZSfCkbmLynOgWN7zYZNbncNIzMTP4YTMd_eLd7vV3w-odAm3SenTb24uqHF1oo3UNHStuIJvk7dMqo9eG0Vo1tocwYDjsvz-uOyIjTLAvaSTOilNBgn6ohRO9-UhUGOKXLyn7YGc2IU/s1600/Step1-Change-DNS.jpg" /></a></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> Now it should have changed to say "DNS" and look like this and now <span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">click</span></span><b><span style="color: blue;"> CNAME alias.</span></b></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VVeAD_y2rFE/Tv98MxLF29I/AAAAAAAAIVA/-2rzWRB3lfM/s1600/Step4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VVeAD_y2rFE/Tv98MxLF29I/AAAAAAAAIVA/-2rzWRB3lfM/s1600/Step4.jpg" /></a></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="color: black;">STEP 3</span></b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Now you will be changing you CNAME Alias according to the instructions on the GOOGLE HELP page you opened. Please note to check for your Host. If you are using NETFIRMS just add the following:</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aceQZabFCFc/Tv99Ytvo2eI/AAAAAAAAIWk/JGesfiMkxWg/s1600/Step5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aceQZabFCFc/Tv99Ytvo2eI/AAAAAAAAIWk/JGesfiMkxWg/s640/Step5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> type 'www' (without quotes) in the HOST box and 'ghs.google.com' in the POINTS TO box then click ADD.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Now you are done with this step. (CNAME Alias added)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><b>STEP 4</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Now we will move on to the "A RECORD" update. This involved you getting the IP addresses that the google help page gives you to add.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">You need to change your DNS now to "A Record" where it used to say CNAME Alias. Make sure it changed and confirms it. See below.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipVU3ZvRgSlpGDR4Iv11W_MB3BTX5lyW0vhLFhyphenhyphenqwOIaPNhXH1NhsV3gbCzIsyxPVBJgSKYnfXwzcHADdHIXwFvAs0SlggGcXvYGXi2P8SOsSFQGYYEZxMbs8ny-MJhgZxdBWQQnZ46W0/s1600/Step6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipVU3ZvRgSlpGDR4Iv11W_MB3BTX5lyW0vhLFhyphenhyphenqwOIaPNhXH1NhsV3gbCzIsyxPVBJgSKYnfXwzcHADdHIXwFvAs0SlggGcXvYGXi2P8SOsSFQGYYEZxMbs8ny-MJhgZxdBWQQnZ46W0/s640/Step6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

I'm honored to have met Beth Chupp from several years ago as a new client. She has a special little boy, Keegan, that is living with cancer and recently was sent home with hospice. He has a rare type of brain cancer and has been through numerous chemo/radiation treatments. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
She and her husband have so much FAITH in God that he will once again heal their son and we believe that too! They are such an inspiration to so many and my family as well. So many are following their life and praying for them. I was honored once again when Beth contacted me this morning to help her with her blog and she allowed me to give her a new blog header. <a href="http://www.karingforkeegan.blogspot.com/">PLEASE READ KEEGANS STORY and VISIT HER BLOG</a>! Please help spread the word and get more people praying for this precious little boy by placing one of these buttons on your blog or site.<br />

If you feel led, please donate on her sidebar to help with the "final expenses". Keegan (her son) has only been given a short time left but we all are agreeing that God will heal him, so please visit their blog and pray. They have a Pampered Chef fundraiser and soon a online silent auction. Please find that special place in your heart, pray and give what you can or just leave them a message letting them know you are praying for them.<a href="http://karingforkeegan.blogspot.com/2011/10/unimaginable.html">Click here for latest update.</a><br />

Unfortunately, 3 links had to be deleted because they were blog links instead of Linkedin links. We really want to encourage participation, but we must ask you to follow the rules. If you make a mistake and put in the wrong link, that's fine. Just please follow up with the correct link! We will keep the correct one and delete the mistake! :)<br /></strong></span></p><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>This week is different. In the past we have been promoting our own links. This week, we will be promoting OTHERS. Please "Blog It Forward" by choosing a blog that you love and enter that blog's link and information into the form. Please feel free to enter more than one! The more, the merrier! :) We especially encourage you to promote a NEW blog to help that blog grow, but it isn't mandatory.<br /></strong></span></p><br /><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>By now, you probably know the drill...</strong></span></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong> Family-friendly links ONLY. </strong></span></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>This week, please link ONLY to a new or favorite blog that you wish to promote (not yours).<br /></strong></span></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>You are encouraged to post the button on your blog to help us spread the word.

Last week, we had a great turnout for the Alexa hop. We hope you lovelies will keep coming back week after week, as we launch a “new” theme. This week, we are featuring Linkedin! By now, you probably know the drill…<br /><br />Family-friendly links ONLY.<br /><br />Please link ONLY your Linkedin user URL.<br /><br />You are encouraged to post the button on your blog to help us spread the word. Also, we have a hashtag: #BlockPartyHopWednesday. Don’t be afraid to use it! <br /><br />If you aren’t sure how to find your Linkedin URL, this is how I did it. I’m sure there’s a better way, but I didn’t find it. LOL! Go to Linkedin’s home page. If you are logged in, LOG OUT. Then, enter your own name in the search query form. After you search for yourself, your own profile will come up with YOUR link. Grab it and come back here to enter it in the Linky Form. Easy Peasy!<br /><br />This hop will be moderated: If you link to your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Alexa, etc., it will be deleted. This is for Linkedin ONLY. If you make a mistake, don’t fret. Just add your (appropriate) link again, ‘cuz I’ll be deleting the other one anyway. LOL!<br /><br />As always, thanks to my lovely co-hosts and friends – Cara of Totally Temberton and Jill of Frugal Plus -for making this great hop possible each week. <br /><br /><br /><script src="http://www.linkytools.com/basic_linky_include.aspx?id=108056" type="text/javascript"></script><br /><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal"><img border="0" src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" title="Pin It" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09821385965244240005noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575197926165389895.post-74360549128798086622011-09-20T18:00:00.000-04:002011-09-20T18:00:37.637-04:00Check out this NEW Blog Design!!This client wanted a makeover that reflected the new changes in her life.
