Check out all of the 'Theme Day' Options -

    Several times back on our old blog, we did a round-up posting of,  " "Theme Days" / "meme's" / "carnivals" " which various blogs host. The last one was in October of 2009. The first one had contained 55, which at the time, we thought was a lot. The last one was up past 350. A lot of the old ones are no longer active, so they (the no longer active ones) aren't listed here. There are however, lots of new ones now added. In-fact, the total this time is higher than it was last time. By over a hundred!
    As one commenter had said, it would be impossible to participate in all of them. But we also agree with what she went on to say - 'that it was interesting to read through the list and see all of the options available'. I (Cheryl)  so-o enjoy my "detective work" {as another commenter termed it} in tracking down these themes. I've even made a couple of new friends ;-D
   TODAY we will be posting list number eight (#8). P-L-E-A-S-E - read through the list and see all of the options available,  We'd be surprised if you didn't find at least one topic that catches your eye / meshes with your interests ;-}
 

~ IF you are/were the host of one of the listed "theme days", and you are no longer hosting yours, (aka: you've stopped it in the last month) PLEASE let us know so we can remove you from this list.

~ ~ IF you host your own "theme day", and I have not yet stumbled across it and thus added it, or, if in your own travels you stumble across one I haven't yet added - PLEASE let me know about it so I can ;-D  {how to word this ... I have stumbled across a couple of themes that we have chosen NOT to list - shall we say for personal reasons / preferences. Yea, we'll leave it at that.}  For the record, no, we won't be incorporating new ones into this specific posting. They will be added to the next one (which we 'plan' on doing in the not to distant future, seeings how I have LOTS more leads, which I have not yet followed up on ;->)

~ ~ ~ Several of you had asked - No, we do not list one time blogging events / special days / whatever-you-call-them's in our "Theme Day('s)" lists. We have chosen to only list on-going *blog "theme day('s)". We also do not list individual "Swaps" or "Give-a-ways".   HOWEVER - there were several "theme day's" which do host a way for you to promote those. No, we're not going to list them here. If we did, you might not stumble across something else you'd enjoy participating in while your searching for them  o;-p!!  (*We also do not include Face-book, Twitter, etc. hops.)

~ ~ ~ ~ IF we were able to find your email address somewhere on your blog, then you were notified about this posting. If we couldn't, then you weren't. We'll add your email address to our list and notify you the next time we do one of these listing postings, if you'd like (in other words, send us your email address), or you could just subscribe so your automatically notified. o;-p

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ And lastly, YES - you may post that you were included in this list and link your readers back to it ;-}  In-fact, we hope that you do. We'd even like to encourage you to take our button along with you, it's located down our sidebar. (Please do NOT copy and paste this listing to your own blog. Thank-you)

* * * Helpful tip on how to hook a particular posting of yours up to one of the 'Linkies':

   Right click on the time at the bottom of the particular posting {of yours} that you want to link to, click "copy shortcut" and then paste it into the "Linky" box on the hosts site.  

   This way, you are hooking up just that participating posting, not your whole blog site.  If people wish to visit your whole blog site, they will.
    In the box of the linky that says "name" - put the name of the posting your linking up, not your personal name.
    If it is the type of linky that includes pictures, after you link up your posting and enter it's name, click on "next" (or whatever word it uses) - then choose to select a picture from your blog. Once pictures show up, select the one (or one of the ones) that you had included in that particular posting.  Sometimes it will then change screens and allow you to sort of zoom in on one part of the picture. Other times it automatically posts that picture with your connection. Just depends on which Linky the host is using.
   [HEADS UP - Some hosts now require that you be a follower of their blog in order to participate. We didn't list on here if they did, just make sure you check before linking up]

Then take it one step further and make their day, by leaving them a comment. Don't know what to say?  Just start up a friendly conversation about what ever it was they had posted. ;->
