5 wonderful people with amazing comments:
Thank You So Much Heidi! I see the ad for latter-daycrafters.com but when I click on it, it has the wrong link. Will you make sure that it has the hyphen in the name :) Thanks, Trina
Awesome! It works now :) You are wonderful, Thanks again, Trina
Hi Heidi,
I'm looking for an example of a guest blog. It seems I saw a guest entry on your blog but I can't find it now. Can you give me some direction? I'd appreciate it (but don't work too hard- I'd like to find one but not to the extent of putting anyone out).
Thanks,
Trina
I haven't really done that yet but am happy to do it for you if you'd like.
I've got too many irons in the fire right now. :)
If any of you would like to help out with management of the blog and other social media connected to the blog - I'd LOVE it.
In exchange - I'm happy to post your ad or special link to your blog.
We need a new header and a few grab buttons as well. Any takers?
Thanks,
Heidi
I found an example of a guest blog just now. For some reason I'd placed what I'd read with your blog. I was wrong. I will be hosting a guest in a week or two. I'm excited! She's an amazing person with insight about the language that we use. I wanted to show her the example- that's why I was looking.
I wish I knew more about how to do headers and grab buttons. I'd love to make a couple grab buttons myself and can't seem to figure it out. If I learn (which I am actively looking for some instruction) I'd love to help you- if you trust the inexperienced, lol. I'll let you know.
Thanks for your quick reply!
