Question Blog Links Question

If you want to link a store to your blog do you have to ask the store first? Like Old Navy, Papertrey Ink, Gina K, New York and COmpany, etc??

Thanks

I think it would be nice to ask! It's sorta like free advertising for all of them (unless it's negative) so I wouldn't think anyone would mind as long as your blog isn't UNfamily friendly! JMO

I can't imagine that you would have to ask the larger stores like Old Navy, etc. It would be courtesy to let smaller companies know you are linking them though I can't imagine that they would have a problem with free advertising...as long as your blog is family friendly, like ladylinks said

Exactly, it's very complimentary for someone to link my blog onto theirs, I wouldn't think anyone would mind.

Just pm them and ask.

I think you should do it! I love my blog and am having so much fun with it!! It's a great outlet for me and a fun place to put my creations and a little bit about me. I feel that I am getting to know my stamping friends so much better because I see them "IRL" on their blogs.

When I first started blogging I asked a couple of different store owners if it was OK for me to link to them (and they said of course) - now tho I don't bother asking and I just link to my favorite stores. I have yet to ever hear of a store NOT wanting to be linked to LOL!

As long as it's positive stuff or JUST a link then I see no issues - it's when someone posts anything negative or stuff like that there *could* be issues if YKWIM???

I say link away!!

Don't worry about the number of blogs. Did Picasso worry about the number of painters? Did Steinbeck worry about the number of other authors?

If you want to do it, do it!

I love blogs, everyone get a blog, post every card you make, I can't get enough. I buy less magazines now with all these blogs! I still buy plenty though.

I love them!

Amy of course no one cares that you link them! You are the biggest enabler I know!

Thanks guys I mean girls

I emailed My Favorite Things and Eclectic Paparie and they both said "of course" so I think y'all are right about stores taking the free advertising;)

Now to think of something to blog about and to link some SCSers to my blog!

I looked at Jots and Pixels and they do some pretty cute things. Oh, there was another site too and the name slipped my mind! I'll go look for it for you!

I made mine the other day! Quite a stretch for me but I think it turned out cute!

thanks i'll check it out but I think I might be lost...

I went to a site with free counters and now I have some crazy letters and symbols and it says to copy and paste it somewhere and I cannot figure it out for the life of me :rolleyes:

I'll try to explain it!!

1. Got to the top right hand corner of your blog and hit "customize".

2. It should bring you to a template page called "Add and Arrange Page Elements". Look for a little box called "Add a page element". Click on it.

3. It will bring up a little box. Look for "HTML/JavaScript " and click on the "Add to Blog" box.

4. Then you can paste all the weird letters and stuff (!!) into the content box. Then click "Save Changes" and you're done!

Did that make sense?

I know I don't care about linking and I doubt anyone else does either. A lot of bloggers also do a "trade off" type thing. Basically you let them know you're linking them and they're glad to link to you also. It's super friendly and everyone is happy to show off each others creations.

I was going to ask you to let me know when you decide to blog, let me know. But I see it is up and running. Congrats. Popping over right now!
