Let me add your blog!

Now that I have my new blog look, you can see that I have TWO sidebars. But now that I've split it up the right side is looking a bit bare. You may have noticed, or not, that I don't very many blogs listed on my Blogs List and even though I read quite a few blogs, I wonder sometimes if people would mind if I put them on the public blog list.

{For the record I would LOVE for you to put me on your blog list if I'm not already there!}

So if you would like me to add you to my Blog List would you just leave me a comment giving me permission to add you?

And another thing:

When I started my blog a year ago I wasn't sure HOW to get people to read my blog. I ended up getting a lot of people through my Chinese adoptions lists. But some people don't have that resource. My weekends are usually pretty slow posting wise so I thought might be a good opportunity to highlight someone else's blog to help them get a little attention. If you would like me to highlight your blog either leave a comment or send me an email.

Edited on Sunday morning at 8:00:

Cynthia at Under the Misty Mountain emailed me with their blog's side button to add to my blog. I forgot all about that!!! I got one of those nifty little buttons with my blog redo! Its so cool! If you have a side button you would like me to add either 1) email me the link or photo or 2) tell me in your comment and I'll go to your blog and grab it myself!

What a great idea. I would love for you to list my blog and even highlight it sometime. I list a lot of blogs on my blog list but thank goodness, have never had anyone ask me to remove their link. I hope that means that they don't mind!!
Blessings!

Regina said...

BTW--I love the new look of your blog!!

Denise Grover Swank said...

Regina, personally I love it when I stumble upon a blog that has me listed! But I've also had people ask me if I minded if they listed me so I wondered... My thoughts are that if its not password protected then they probably don't mind.

What do you all think?

Regina said...

Denise,
This is pretty much my theory!!
I also agree that it is nice to visit a new blog and see my blog listed as one they visit. It is like making a new friend.
Blessings!!

I love the new look. I changed my blog over to 3 columns last month and I love it but yours looks really cute!! Did you do it or did you do a blog make over?? DETAILS, PLEASE!!

Denise Grover Swank said...

I got you added! I had someone redo my blog. I wanted something really unique for the top-- I think I got it, but who knows for how long! My blog was redone by Lindsey at Mommy Chronicles. I have her button on the left side about half way down. She did a great job! I'd love to be able to design on myself. Just because I'm like that. I like to try anything at least once. Maybe I'll practice on one or both of my other two blogs.

Kristy said...

Yes Denise please put my blog on your list!!

Denise said...

My blog is not nearly as funny and exciting as yours but if you want to add mine, you are more than welcome! I am going to add you to my blog list too!

Denise Grover Swank said...

Lorie, it's on the right towards the VERY bottom. You were on there.

I'm loving this blog list because I can instantly see if someone has updated their blog!

I got scolded for posting so infrequently maybe this will inspire me!

Beth said...

Hi! I, like you, am unsure of how I land on blogs from time to time. I think I linked to yours from another as well. I wish I could tell you my route taken...at any rate, I'd love to trade spots on our blog rolls. I'll add you if you add me. :) You are a fun writer. I'm always grinning when I read here.

Couple other notes...I swallowed my first tooth as well. Mine went with an apple.

Our house = PILES everywere. I can't get on top of things. Ah Ha...Maybe that's the trick. I'll just climb to the top of the piles. The view should be clear from there. :)

Brandy said...

I love the new look! Green just happens to be my favorite color.

You can add me - I get a little thrill from seeing my name listed on blogrolls. Pitiful I know but true.
