Do you remember the good old Meet & Greet parties, we used to throw, a couple of years back? Aside from Trina’s weekly Weekend Share, I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen one in my Reader.
Recently, someone strongly suggested that I’d throw such a party. And I think that’s a great idea.
Especially since WP has been messing with my Followers’ list for a couple of months now. And it is just fair to take a moment to thank three very loyal blogger-friends of mine. See, WP seems to be randomly kicking some of my readers out. These three people were kind enough to re-follow The Cove, and that’s why we’ll have this ”Welcome Back Party” š
Thank you Larry, I did notice when you found your way back to my blog, and I really appreciate it!
Thank you Cheryl… We have followed each other since the very beginning of The Cove, and God knows how many times you had to re-follow me. You actually were the first one who reported this annoying problem.
And last but not least… Thank you Trina! It was funny the first couple of times I noticed you coming back. Now it is just plain annoying, and it is definately not normal that I had to let you know you had disappeared this morning…
So, shall we party a little?
It’s really easy. Just stop by and say ”hi”! Leave a link to your blog, either the main page or a specific post you’d like people to read. Try to pay the other people in the comment section a little visit. Mingle, have fun, and come back to see who might have left you a little note. It is a great way to discover new bloggers, and give your own blog a little shout out.
I’ll be answering every message, until Monday (though I might take a couple of hours break to get my beauty sleep, hehehe).
I’m taking care of the finger food, I made nachos and all kinds of delicious snacks, both sweet and savory! I’ll be at the bar and we have plenty of beers, wine bottles, and different liquors (and I loooove using my shaker, so don’t be shy, let me know what cocktail would make your day). Of course, I thought about those of you who don’t drink alcohol!
Oh, and if you don’t mind, just drop the YouTube link of your favorite party song in the comments too! I didn’t get the chance to hire a DJ, and we need good tunes to dance to! Here’s my own pick, a song I really like from the Danish (of course) band Scarlet Pleasure.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the warm invite to your party! I’ve been off WP a few years and have resurfaced with a new site: https://freedom2survive.wordpress.com/
