We’re going on a blog hunt – A bit of linky love…..

by Ellie on October 12, 2009


I love reading blogs. All different kinds. It’s a bit of an obsession. I’d read them all day if it weren’t for those pesky kids needing to be entertained, fed and watered.

This morning I was reading an excellent post on combating blog fatigue at Erica’s blog ‘Littlemummy.com‘ and was waffling on in her comments (as I do) about how I love nosying at other people’s blog rolls. They often contain hidden gems that I’ve never come across.

So, I thought for a bit of fun we could go on a blog hunt and see where we end up.

The rules are:

  1. Leave me a comment to let me know you’re playing.
  2. Choose a number between 1 and 20.
  3. Scroll down to my ‘Blog Roll’ or ‘I often pop in on’ lists,
  4. Countdown your chosen number on the list and click through to the blog you land on.
  5. Read the latest post on that blog (only polite) and maybe leave a comment.
  6. Find their blog roll/links list, chose another random number and click through again.
  7. Leave the link to the second site in the Mr MckLinky below.

To give the idea a whirl I chose #1. This lead me to the lovely ‘Violet Posy‘ whose current post is rather aptly named ‘Monday Link Love‘. I left a comment on her blog then chose the ‘Home & Style section on her links list, decided to go for #38 and this landed me at ‘The Inspired Room‘. I liked this site so much I subscribed!

Hopefully we should end up with a hotchpotch of great blogs and sites to obsess over enjoy reading. Keep checking back for new additions.

What are you waiting for? Go, go, go!
