Linky, linky’s everywhere.
Whether you are new to the blogverse or, like me, you want to refocus on why you started in the first place, which was to read and connect with amazing content and people then linkys are the way to go.
What is a linky? A linky party is when a blogger or few (the hosts) invites the readers to link up their blog posts on the same topic. when you link up your post to the original you are widening your audience and increasing the chances of your content being read.Where to find them?@Youbabymemummy has an ultimate linky list that is regularly updated. How do I do it? @Cuddle fairy has an etiquette guide for newbies.
This is not a long descriptive how to, it is a list of the linky parties run by some of my most loved bloggers that I am setting myself the task of hooking up with in the coming maternity leave months. Before I am lost to sleep deprived lunacy. These are mainly focused at #pbloggers and general posts rather than niches like food, fashion, photos etc.
Why not start with these as a base and then make your own #Linkyloves list. Most importantly, read, comment, enjoy and share other people’s content where you can.
Below you can find out what’s on on what day, access the #, HTML badge and check out the hosts for ease of reference. To join up with the linky you have to go to a hosts website and add to the linkup. Follow their rules, lots of hard work is put into running these.
P.s Check you are adding to the most recent one! Try a couple and then build up, don’t link to all 15 in a week the first time round, you will get hand cramp.
