Adopt A Blog–heARTmatters

Hi There Bloggers and Bloggettes!

Man, I am really impressed with myself this morning!! I’m taking screen shots! Yikes!

I am creating a new feature on Join The Blogversation called Adopt A Blog. My vision is to pick a blog and point out the important features so that a newbie blogger can try it out. If you have a blog you would like to be featured, let me know and I just might pick yours!!

The author of the featured blog will LOVE to have you take a look and even better if you join her blogversation and share your feedback. Don’t tell anyone but we authors love a little attention! On the slightly more serious side, if something you read moves you, it is a great gift you give to the author when you let them know that.

First and foremost, some of you have expressed concern at using your email address on the blogs you want to support. There is an easy solution. Go to Google and set up a G Mail account with the express intent to use that account for your blogging. You will find it easier to feel more anonymous and that is a great way to start.

Later when you are more comfortable, go ahead and use your true identity if you want. While it is considered poor form to try to sell your product and service right away (more on that in a future post), you can always use your url after your name.

So here is the first Adopt a Blog featured Blog. It is Susan Schanerman’s heARTmatters:

Susan is madly passionate about unleashing creativity. She writes practical and inspiring posts focused on waking your creative muse and allowing art to heal the heart. You will love it!

First, notice in the top right corner and you will notice the subscribe now box. When you visit Susan, go ahead and sign up for email notification. It is easy to do and there is excellent spam protection so you won’t get a bunch of junk mail if you sign up!

Then you will notice the latest blog entry…This one called Journal Power. Susan writes excellent and brief posts and this one is no exception.

At the end of the blog….

look carefully for the lighter green box and you will see “posted by Susan Schunerman”. Under that you will see “2 comments”. This is your link to leave a comment. Click on it and you will see one comment by yours truly. Add one of your own. Most times, the author will write back to you and you will feel inspired by your connection. [in this blog, the comment link is at the top right under the title and next to the date...it says no comment but it means please comment!]

The rest of the page is a listing of all other blog entries Susan has posted. If you want, go ahead and look at other titles. There will be a comment box following each entry.

OK Bloggettes…let’s Adopt-A-Blog! Go to heARTmatters and try it!

Blog On!!
