Friendly Friday 5-27-11

Welcome to Friendly Friday, the weekly celebration hosted by Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier, Christi at Frugal Novice and Charla at Healthy Home Blog! It’s a great way to get new followers to your blog, say hello to your blog friends, and make new ones!

To join in the Friendly Friday celebration,go to any of the three blogs listed above , follow the hostesses in the first 3 spots and then start blog hopping! Visit other blogs on the list and comment to give them some blog love. Then take a minute to follow them through Google Friend Connect – this is a good way to keep up with other blogs, but also lets us show support to each other! Please DO NOT list your giveaways here, links must be to either your homepage or your Friday posting with your blog title. All others will be deleted.

When people comment on your blog and let you know they’re a part of Friendly Friday, return the favor and follow them back. This way everyone gets traffic and followers out of participating, and it’s a win-win situation. Feel free to right-click on and save the Friendly Friday button and post it on your blog and/or in a post – the more bloggers that find out about Friendly Friday and participate, the better!

Remember, YOU can host the link list on your blog, too! Just get the InLinkz code from the posts on any of the three hostess blogs and copy it directly into your post. The code is different every week, so be sure to get the new code when hosting Friendly Friday on your blog. Hosting the list is a great way to get even more traffic to your blog and make Friendly Friday more beneficial for everyone.

Happy Friday everybody! It’s a chilly day here in Lansing, but it’s supposed to be in the 80s all weekend. We usually have a cookout at home on Memorial Day, but our charcoal grill rusted through on the bottom! We’ll cook burgers inside but eat outside as usual. What about you? Leave a comment and let me know what your plans are for this Memorial Day weekend.

I had a wonderful time at Gleek Retreat ’11 last weekend! I’m hoping to get some time to recap it for you either tonight or tomorrow. I learned so much from the speakers and took a ton of notes. After the conference, Deb and I drove over to Holland State Park on Lake Michigan, those photos are on this week’s Wordless Wednesday post. I’ll get the rest of the photos up soon!

Have a great weekend everybody! Don’t forget to add your Friday link to the linky list! edited to add: I have no idea why the Google Friend Connect gadget is currently blank. I’m going through my plugins to see if one of them is causing it. In the meantime, please make sure your blog URL is linked in the comment field and I’ll come visit and follow you. Sorry about that!
