Yesterday’s assignment: create a recurring blogging event on your site, and/or make plans to attend a blogging conference.

I think this task is about making sure you are making the most of networking and spreading awareness about the blog, whether that is attending real events such as the Blogging conferences or virtually through blog hops or Linky parties.

There’s a great post on the SITS Girls website about what Linky Parties are and how to set them up.

For now, I’ve joined a couple of sites on a regular basis to pin one of the posts to their Linky party/event. What’s great about these is that you get the opportunity of visiting other people’s blogs as they arrive/join the Linky Party and often I have found new ideas or projects to try.

The Link Parties I’ve joined are here at A bowl full of Lemons blog which is such a lovely site full of organising tips and projects; and at Lela Burris’ blog Inthenewhouse.com who got in touch with me after seeing my blog on ABOF’s site.

Since then I visit Lela’s blog and saw Project Patrol’s great post on making your own kindle cover out of an old book – Such a great idea to do with my daughter during the summer holidays.

For now, until I feel I’ve “earned my stripes” so to speak, I will look forward to joining some other Linkys or blog hops, and look to see if others would be welcome to me joining, before I venture as far as hosting a link up or blog hop.

Thanks for viewing this post. Do let me know if you are hosting a link up party and think my site would be suitable 🙂
