Bloggy Biz-Ness

A little business (sort of) related stuff to share! Really, it is just stuff that has been on my mind so consider this a Shannah mind dump.

Share the Love
I have loved being introduced to new blogs via sidebars on some of my favorites! So, for the month of February, I am going to run a "Share the Love" promotion. Basically, it is a button swap!
I will reserve 10 spots in my sidebar for my blog friends' buttons. If you are interested in a spot, reserving one is simple! Email me with the html to your button (pref no wider than 150) and I'll email you back with mine. Then, from February 1st through the 28th, we each feature the others button on the sidebar.
Easy, right?

Comments
I L-O-V-E comments from my readers. Yeah, that's you guys. I read each and every one that I get and respond (via email) to every one of them as well.
Do me a favor: Check to make sure you have your email address visible in blogger so that I can respond! No-reply comments give me the sads :(

Features
I know a lot of bloggers are making changes to their features for the new year. For the foreseeable future, What to Cook Wednesday and the Fabulous Freebie Friday Giveaway Linky are here to stay!
The rest of the week has always been a free for all anyways and will remain as such.

Guest Posts
Did you read about my upcoming birthday week? Yeah, it isn't until February but I have been working behind the scenes to partner with some fabulous ladies to fill in for me while I am celebrating. It will be a week full of introducing you to the writers behind some of my favorite blogs.
Want to join in?
Send me an email (or comment on this post) to sign up. I have 2 spots left so don't wait too long.

Blogger problems
Have you all noticed some issues with blogger recently? You probably noticed that I changed from embedded comments to a pop-up window. It is only temporary while blogger/google works to fix the problem.
A warning to other bloggers (on blogger) though: If you have embedded comments and someone posts on a blog post, IE users will only see a blank page for that post going forward. Right now, this only affects IE users and only on posts where comments have been made but it is far reaching. It might be worthwhile to check your blog to make sure you aren't in the same boat I was.
