Blogger Meet and Greet: Valentine’s Day Party

By: | February 11, 2017 | Tags: , , |

Welcome to Our Valentines Day Party!

This coming week, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. Although the forms of celebration and the date may vary depending on your country, February is usually considered the month of love.

Love can take many forms. For example, we love our blogging community, so let’s celebrate!

At today’s Meet and Greet, we are having cake.

In the comments section, you are encouraged to self-promote.

Introduce your blog to the other guests at the party. Tell the readers about your blog, and post a link to your favorite post, a recent post, your About page, your blog link, or anything you like.

If you are not already following Mostly Blogging, I like new subscribers too.

Note: At other Meet and Greets, guests return and leave different links to articles in different comment boxes. You are welcome to return as often as you like and leave links.

I am hoping others will be able to find new blogs to read and new bloggers to connect with.

Guests, if you think others would enjoy the networking opportunities at our Groundhog Day Meet and Greet, please share on your social media. The more guests at the party, the more networking opportunities for all of us.

If you get a chance to promote the link to this party on your site, that would also be much appreciated since it would help make others aware of this blog party.

      I live in Hackney, known for its amazing street art. This is up there though… Amazing!!!

        I think it’s very good too! We saw a lot of great street art when we visited Hackney a few years ago. I really enjoyed it.

      Hi Maja,
      We don’t have too much street art where I live. Sometimes, they’ll be fairs where there are sidewalk chalk sketches, but I haven’t been to one of those in a long time.
      Thanks for sharing with us. I hope you are well too. Thanks for coming to my party.

        Hi Rasma – I am so sorry for posting from my blog whilst commenting on yours. I’m not sure how that happened!
        Still think your poem was lovely though!

        I had no idea that you posted a glossary too! What are the odds. I can’t believe you didn’t know I was a Tech V.A. I’ve been doing it a couple of years now! I focus most of my posts on WordPress since that’s my specialty but I work with a lot of programs as well. Gotta stay busy!

      This is a great list and if I were a newbie Blogger I would head for the hills. It’s amazing that we have to know so much as Bloggers and it’s never easy and changes are constant.

        Hi Antionette,
        As I told Rena, I also published a blogging glossary this week. I was hoping to help new bloggers. However, you are right. All these terms can be overwhelming and scare them away! Thanks for offering a different perspective I hadn’t thought of.

          Hi, Antionette! I stopped by your site and I checked and we’re already following each other. I thought we were. Anyway, I tried to leave a comment but it would let me. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

    Already approaching another Hallmark day…tempus fugit, as the title of my latest blog post says. One year into blogging type of post. Seems like I’ve known some bloggers, including you Janice, for much longer. A sign of good friends and natural connections.

    Thanks for hosting another meet and greet and know this friends in waiting…dare to like, comment or follow and I will follow you back ?

      Hi Gary,
      I just came from your blog. What does Temus Fugit mean? I heard it in the Music Man but I don’t remember what it means.
      I agree with what you wrote, and it didn’t even make me blush– I consider you a good friend too. Natural, like we’ve known each other a long time. I found at at your site we both like King. My favorite was his Pet Cemetery. Did you read it?
      Thanks for coming to my party.

    Hello Janice and any reader passing by 🙂

    Thank you for this opportunity to Meet & Greet – it’s my first. What a wonderful thing to be part of.
    I only launched my blog last month, although been privately doing it for a bit longer. It’s quite nerve-wracking putting yourself and opinions out there, but I’m enjoying it and getting to engage with other bloggers.

    I hope you enjoy my post – “La La Loved it.” As a newbie, I’m happy to receive any constructive comments, likes and/or follows. I will follow you back too.

      Hi Ellen,
      I saw you around the blogosphere today as I party hopped. I heard the British were rioting because the Prime Minister is breaking bread with our new president. Well… you know my politics. Are they still rioting in the streets there? I like using you as my British news fix.
      Janice

      • Ellen Hawley

        I haven’t read about any rioting, and since I live way out in the quiet tip of Britian–well, we don’t have enough people in the village to organize a decent riot. Very sad, but there you have it. The Speaker of the House of Commons has said he’d refuse to invite Voldemort to address the Commons, causing an uproar, although they don’t seem to have rioted. Apparently, if he visits the plans are to shuffle him off someplace where it won’t be obvious that an invitation hasn’t been issued. And to keep him out of London as much as possible, because if there won’t be riots there will be demonstrations.

        Maybe they’ll have him address to Lords on the theory that they’ll all be asleep anyway. (That may be 1000% inaccurate, not to mention unfair, but I like the image so I’ll leave it in.)

          Voldemort! Too funny, LOL! I heard he wasn’t going to be allowed to address Parliament. Thanks for being my London news correspondent!

      Hi Antionette, your first link is not working, but the second ‘Knock knock ‘ is working well 🙂
      I see you also have a blog with wix 🙂
      (p.s. how do you add a heart to like underneath your blog post? I don’t seem to find that 🙂 )

      Congrat’s with your award!

      9 weeks without sugar is quite an accomplishment! That’s what is great for me about virtual cake– no calories! Thanks again for coming to my party and happy Valentine’s Day.

      Hi Betty,
      If I’m correct this is the first blog party I’ve had that you’ve been to. So great seeing you here! I went to a conference once where they discussed a vision board, and I even blogged about its importance for bloggers. Thanks again for coming by and happy Valentine’s Day to you.

      Hi Donna,
      If I don’t like the movie on a first date, it’s an omen the relationship is doomed! I’m sort of kidding since I haven’t been on a date in a long time.
      Everyone, Donna is hysterical. If you want a good laugh, and an entertaining time, check out her blog. Thanks for coming to my blog party.

    Wow! That cake looks delicious. thanks for hosting this party. I finally finished a post I’ve been working over a month on. Most of that time I’ve been feeling under par and couldn’t work at my normal speed. This post comes from my blog, A California Life. I was born and raised in California and have lived here for 73 years. In this blog I share some of my favorite places and share lots of photos. In this post I take you to the Salinas River here in Paso Robles. I hope you enjoy the trip. http://acalifornialife.com/2017/02/12/salinas-river-paso-robles-photos/

    Hi Janice,

    Didn’t realise you were having a party – glad I could drop in for a look around.

    Valentine’s Day, hey? I’ll look see what I have that might fit the theme, and pop it here: http://wp.me/p7yTr8-Bq (it’s a bit raucous, actually).

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    The basic idea…motivation, encouragement, support, self help…all leading towards everyone (including me!) living the life we want to live.

    I’d love for you to stop by! 🙂

      First of all, welcome to my blog party! Thanks for joining us this Valentine’s weekend.
      Second of all, I don’t seem to have any notice of you signing up for the blog, and I checked three places. Since you expressed interest, I took the liberty of signing you up.
      I remember you at a Kinder Way. Why did you change blog names?
      Last, thanks for clicking my link over at Danny’s site.

    I finally found my way to your Valentine’s blogging party and I hope the party is still on! 🙂
    Happy Valentine’s day in advance!
    Well since the V day is almost around the corner and everybody seems to be talking about it, I thought it was the perfect time to write about love! So my latest post is about us as the confused Gen Y struggling with the flawed concepts of love and the constant battle between the head and the heart. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!! 🙂

    Hi my BBFFJ, you probably think I’ve fallen off the earth! Way too busy a week, and now I’ve had to cancel my home internet. So, blogging will have to be my first focus, and reading other blogs will be secondary.
    I hope you had a great Valentine’s Day. My biggest and best Valentine turned 30. I’m too young to have a daughter that old! lol
