I dig your blog. The template you used flows really well. I haven't read any content yet but I will. Thanks for sharing!

I'm having a great time seeing all of the creativity everyone puts into their blogs. Thank you all for sharing them!

As for me, I'm excited because I FINALLY got a button with a code grab box put into my blog (I'm inept when it comes to code so I had to find a tutorial site to help me). Now you can go to my blog and if you like what you see you can grab the code to my button and advertise in on your blog. Nifty little gadget, I think.

Finally...I hope you all had a great new year. I love this group so I wish you all well. :-)

Stephanie: Thanks!
Charity: I had some trouble with creating the button I have too. I had to go with the image I liked second best because I couldn't find the one I wanted in a decent size, lol. Congrats on getting yours done.

Happy New Year everyone!

I don't know how to do button. I'm on a waitlist for someone to design my blog. I don't do digi designs or code. :) I will whip out my credit card though. :) She's good too and fairly inexpensive.

Anyone that reviews YA books and has a blog interested in maybe doing a collab blog? Just a thought.

let us know when its done I would love to see it, I just made my own it took me a few days of playing around though lol

Okay guys.
Anyone interested in being in a blog tour for
I need one more person, prefferably someone who has read the book or can read it quickly.
The date I need it done for it January 24th and I need them to come up with some questions between 5-10 for the character of Jackson for a character interview.

I can read and review it by this Friday. My blog doesn't have many of followers though.

Thank you, Melissa. I'll go check yours out. I wish now that I had saved the site that I used. I dropped out of it before I gave myself time to think it through. Oh well, that's what we have Google for.

That certainly would be more convenient and much less frustrating than building things on one's own. My blog has been a thing of progress since I first opened it three years ago. I've probably spent hours studying up on how to create different elements to my blog, but I have to admit that I cheat by using many of the pre-built widgets and gadgets that Blogger provides. If I can't find a step by step tutorial or gadget that allows me to fill in the blanks, I usually give up before I even get started.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing the finished product one yours is complete. :-)

Following via Google+ which by the way I've yet to really understand, LoL.

great blog Jennifer I am now following you.

I am just getting start with Google+, I added a widget on left of my site for followers, seems GFC is going away. I don't want to lose followers so follow me at both GFC and G+. Thanks everyone!

Ok I am going to take a look at yours it really is sad that they are doing away with GFC I read some bloggers moved over to wordpress because of that.

Wonder why , what does WP offer?

I went there and its very confusing to be honest I prefer google blogger, where did you get the button for Google+

Yeah I just joined wordpress and I'm still learning it but it forces people who follow you to do it by email and it shows how many are suscribed to your blog...but yeah it can be confusing.

I go there and look at it now and then but still don't know what I am doing.

Tana, i got widget at http://widgetsplus.com/
I set up WP acct but to confusing, need to have more time to look into.
