Jan31 -Feb 6
« on: January 31, 2010, 09:42:25 AM »
Well, week five of the blog ring is officially underway!  The first weeks have been great with quite a bit of participation...I hope that the coming weeks will see this same kind of love put into the posts.  Remember, your turn is coming up and if you want the same kind of enthusiasm for your work, you need to participate in the rest of the weeks.

Ring one:  Your feature this week is an amazing artist Nancy of TwasBrillig.  Her blog can be found here http://in-uffish-thought.blogspot.com .  Nancy is an active member of the forum that has supported the handmade movement from our beginning.   Can you tell I'm a fan?  She has a full blog so you can do a bit of research and gain an insight.


Ring two:  Your feature this week is Janel whos blogging can be found here http://a-painting-mom.blogspot.com .  Along with some amazing features about other artists on the forum, her blog also has links to her own darling creations so you can get to know her better. 

If you are unsure which ring you are in you can check here http://handmadeartistsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2588.0.html  and if you would like to join the ring head for this thread http://handmadeartistsforum.com/forum/index.php/topic,2505.0.html and sign up!

Ok, let the HAFBlogRing steamroller begin for the week  :-* !  Don't forget to post here when you have finished your blog update so that the rest of us can click and comment on it.  You can click on comment on either ring...the more the merrier!

Well, got me a head start this week and got my featured Etsian done already, yeah! Here is the link for my post about Jane L. http://www.redfoxjewelry.com/blog/?p=100 . Hope you all enjoy it. I did! BTW, this really does work for SEO. I am already getting spam, so I must be getting noticed. And I didn't start my blog until this month, January 2010, when we started the ring!

Made me laugh....never thought about using spam as an indicator of getting noticed, but it makes sense!

Do you have a spam plugin set up for your wordpress blog? If not you can find one here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=spam+&sort=
I use spam karma but it is not supported anymore.

This is off topic, but did you draw the roses on your blog Violet? They are fantastically beautiful ...

My feature is yet to be posted (although I got the ones for the last two weeks up today - FINALLY) but I have taken the opportunity to read those that are posted already and am looking forward to seeing even more later this week.

I just finished my post for Nancy. I'm trying to make the posts more interesting. I'm still learning. :-\

If you don't see me doing a lot of commenting, it's because my internet is down and my house. And for some dumb reason, my daughter's computer won't let me sign into my gmail acct. Anyway, gotta go to the cable company and see if I can get them to come out and see what is wrong. My shop is on vacation until then. Hope to be back up and running soon.
BTW, no I don't have a spam plugin. I just deleted them. There were only 2 and they were for SEO. Google has my blog on page 6 already, not bad for being new and not having submitted it! Later everyone!
