Sneak Peak – Adopt-a-Blogger #4

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

I’ll do a proper post for this, but in the meantime I wanted to let you know that the matches for Adopt-a-Blogger #4 have been made. I still have a few people waiting to be adopted, so if you can adopt one of them, please let me know!

I have to give an extra special, couldn’t have done it with out her, shout out and thank you to Kate at Serendipity for her help getting this all together. Kate scoured through the comments and did the majority of the inputting of the information in the spreadsheet that I use. Adopt-a-Blogger #4 couldn’t have happened without her volunteering, so thank you, Kate!!! I truly, truly appreciate it! Everyone – please go visit Kate’s blog and give her an extra special thank you for making this happen!

The matches for Adopt-a-Blogger #4 can be found HERE.

    Hey K! Sorry I missed Round 4 sign ups but if you still need someone I’d love to participate again. Round 3 was a lot of fun and I made a new friend (Hi Erin!) in the process. It was win-win! 🙂

    Oh, Kristen, THANK YOU! It was really a pleasure to do this. I loved checking out all the blogs. I think that Adopt-a-Blogger is a wonderful program. Mentoring is a marvelous thing. It builds community and lets us learn from others’ experience as well as to share what we’ve learned. I was very glad to be able to help.

    Needless to say, I’m doing the happy dance today!

    I just found your blog through Lauren of CeliacTeen. What a great idea you have! I’m sorry to have missed the sign-up, but would happily adopt a newbie if you need someone. I really consider myself more of a newbie, but I’ve been blogging for almost a year now, so perhaps I have some insight to share. 🙂

    I just came across your adopt a blogger program. By any chance do you set it up more than 1x per year? I’m just starting out and would LOVE any and all help I can get from someone who has been doing this a while. Thank you so much!

    This sounds like such a wonderful community building activity; I am so sorry I missed the registration.

    If you need help putting together the next iteration, I would be happy to help with the spreadsheet creation.

    Cheers!

    August 25, 2010 at 11:46 pm

    When you start this again can I try one more time to be apart? The one I was matched up with would never get with me unless you emailed her, I would email back and once she answered and then she was no where to be found and I gave up after about six weeks.
    Thank you.
