Linky Parties

One of the greatest ways to share blog posts is through blog Linky Parties.  I do not have my own linky parties (or at least yet) so I will share with you the ones I participate in.  I will keep updating the page when I start joining new parties.  Please join them as well, I would love to see your ideas.

How to Link for Linky Parties

There are two types of ways most people use to link posts.  You can determine which technique to use by the button you click to link.  Overall they are the same method though.

If you go to a Linky Party and scroll all the way down after all of the linked posts, you will see one of two buttons:

First Method

Click "Add your link"

Enter the link to your specific blog post and not the entire blog, the title of the post (not your own name), and your email address.

 Determine which picture you would like to use for others to see.  Choose "crop".

Select the area that you would like displayed and click "Crop the selected area".

Click "Skip this step".

Once you are done, make sure you go back to your original posts and either put the blog's button or a link to their website.  It is called linking back and it is respectful to do this for every blog post.

Second Method

Click "Click here to enter"

Enter the link to your specific blog post and not the entire blog, the title of the post (not your own name), and your email address.  Sometimes I type my actual name too.

Choose "Let me crop my own image" and then "From Web"

Choose your image and then crop the image.

Once you have cropped your image, you have been entered.

Don't forget to link your blog post back to the blog!

Have fun linking!  I hope to see some of your ideas on other parties!
