Welcome friends! I’m very excited to announce who your partners are going to be for the first month of Bloggers Helping Bloggers!! This month we ended up with 24 fabulous participants and I’m excited to see what kind of relationships form. I’m being completely honest when I say that your partners were selected completely at random. I used random.org to generate the numbers and paired them in the order I was given. I may not do it this way every time, but it seemed logical for the first month. There are a few housekeeping things to discuss before I share who your partners are this month.
1 // Reminder of the Rules: You need to take time to get to know your partner, find out what they have going on this month, see if you can be praying for them about something. A gift is not required to send to your partner, but you MUST send a hand-written card/letter at some point during the month. You are welcome to go above and beyond though.
2 // In the sign up form, I asked for ‘Full Name’. I realized that some people may not want that shared, so I went ahead and edited the form you are about to see to show last initials. On future sign up’s I will ask for ‘Name’ and I will not make edits. So if you put your full name, then realize that others will be able to see that.
3 // You may sign up for the August ‘Bloggers Helping Bloggers’ starting July 20th and you will again, have until the 27th. I hope that by July 20th, you can decide if this was helpful for you and if you’d like to participate again. My hope is that it was and that you do and that you’ll encourage others to join in as well!
4 // You will not be paired with the same blogger twice.
5 // If you’d like, you can grab the button on the right hand side bar to display on your blog. It’s nothing fancy, I don’t claim to be good at that sorta stuff, but it helps spread the word!
6 // If you are unable to make contact with your partner within 48 hours, e-mail me at heatherblack79@gmail.com!
7 // If for any reason, you feel that your partner did not participate fully and was absent in the relationship, please let me know and explain why you feel that way! I want this to be an encouraging and uplifting experience.
8 // If you have any other questions, feel free to e-mail me at any time!!
9 // This is whole new territory for me. I’ve never organized something like this so there may be some kinks in the process. If you have any suggestions or find an issue with the process at the moment, feel free to let me know. You won’t hurt my feelings, you’ll help me make this better and I would really appreciate any feedback!
10 // Have fun and make a new friend!
