What is a blog hop?

A blog hop is a linky list that is SHARED ON MULTIPLE BLOGS.
When several blogs put the same linky list code on their blog, the
exact same list appears on each blog.

Blog visitors can submit their entries on any blog that contains the list.
The entries will appear on each blog where the list resides.

Blog readers see the same list on each blog, and can “HOP” from blog
to blog seeing the same list of links to follow: BLOG HOP!

Here’s how Cali Cheer Mom’s Blog Hop works:

READERS:

•Follow as many authors as you like. Just follow the Linky list and hop from author to author. The idea is to find as many “new to you” authors as you can, and hopefully some great new reading material as well. Leave a comment as you hop from blog to blog! We’d love to chat with you!

AUTHORS:

•Follow the Meet an author Monday host (Cali Cheer Mom) along with any of the wonderfully talented authors on the list.
•You will need to enter your name and blog url into the Linky tool.
•Grab our super cute button and place it in a post. (THIS IS IMPORTANT!) If you don’t create a post for the hop, your readers won’t have a place to comment, and the hop will stop with you. So create a post, paste in the Linky code and start hopping!
•The purpose of the hop is to meet “new to you” authors and discover great new reads. Follow as many authors as you can. Leave a comment and introduce yourself!
•If you’d like to share the Linky list in a post on your blog ( Please do!) just follow the link and grab the code.

It’s Monday again! And I’m in another blog-hopping mood. If you haven’t checked out KarenG’s Blog BBQ that’s going on this fine Labor Day weekend, you should head over there too before you miss it–today is the last day. But first, you should stop by my awesome critique partner’s blog and join her hop.

If you’re wondering what a blog hop is, here’s the deets:

So get to it! Visit some new blogs, comment and follow along and I’ll be right behind you! *grin

What an interesting idea, don’t you think? (Thank you KarenG!) What a great way to meet new writers, authors, readers, book bloggers, or maybe some people who just like skipping from blog to blog in cyberspace.

Joining the Blog BBQ…(totally just mistyped it as Blob BBQ…I’m thinking it’s a Freudian slip…If this were a real BBQ with all the glorious food listed I’m thinking I might look like the Blob when I leave)…like I was saying, joining the B-L-O-G BBQ is easy. All you have to do is travel over to Karen’s blog, leave a comment saying what you might bring, and what you’d talk about with others if you were there. Visit, comment and follow at least three other blogs. That’s it!

What a great way to stimulate activity on writers’ blogs out there. I’ve already followed so many and every single one is interesting and inspirational and…well, get out there and you’ll see what I mean.

Oh, and if you came here from Karen’s BBQ, WELCOME!

So glad to be joining in Cali Cheer Mom’s Blog Hop! What a great way to meet other writers, authors, and future friends. I hope I have the details right. Now click away and comment, follow, and connect with other writers! *grin
