If you have been a member of the BLOG BLITZ team, hosted by the compassionate and inspiring blogger DL Hammons, then you have experienced the joy giving blog love to brighten someone's day. Commenting on a random blog on Blitz Day has been a rewarding way of building community for me.
On the original BLOG BLITZ post, DL asks the question: what would it be like if the support, encouraging nature, and community spirit of the blogosphere were ever focused on a single blogger? Over the last year and half, 83 bloggers have experienced that mutually beneficial feeling of both giving and receiving a comment Blitz.
DL has revamped the list and encourages all those who are willing to join the team (or to rejoin the team) with the sole purpose of brightening a fellow blogger's day to add your name to the list, and proudly display the BLOG BLITZ banner on their own blog.
To DL Hammons, thank you for coordinating this encouraging event. To all those who have joined the team and commented on or nominated members for a BLOG BLITZ
thank you for your community spirit.
I signed up for the new one. Can't believe someone thought it was all about getting followers.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good idea that he revamp the list.
ReplyDeleteI sent you an email this morning - you were the winner of the Dragon Hunt.
What a great idea. Ditto what Alex said.
ReplyDeletesuch a lovely idea that is! With me always returning all comments, it would take weeks to finish the task LOL
ReplyDeleteThe Blog Blitz is a wonderful and amazing concept. I'm happy to be part of the team, and I hope we can bring a smile and encourage several more people.
ReplyDeleteHappy to sign up again. Love a good Blitz!
ReplyDeleteThe letter to DL made me sad. To me the blitz is about making someone else feel good and that makes me feel good.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a douche who sent the letter. Bloggers like that should be ignored anyway.
ReplyDeleteI signed up again this morning. Excellent idea of DL to start all over again. :)
ReplyDeleteHi human, Donna,
ReplyDeleteMy human, Gary and I, got the email notification from DL about the changes.
I don't think we will get involved this time. Even though the good human, DL's intentions were noble, I noticed too many folks were just visiting a site and making note of the Blog Blitz and not anything about the actual blog pawst, sorry, post. Sadly, I found that most disrespectful.
Pawsitive wishes and all the best to those who get involved.
Penny :)
I love the list. I don't always get to blitz it up but I try to keep up!
ReplyDeleteI need to resign. I'll do so now.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna - I newly signed this time .. and agree it must help many ... and am glad they've been supporting you .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI signed up again!
ReplyDeleteThe Blog Blitz is a wonderful initiative...and it's NOT about getting followers.

Tammy: at least you try :)
Media: awesome
Hilary: I know you'll like spreading the encouragement.

I was so excited to be blitzed a few weeks ago! I'm happy to be a part of it.
ReplyDeleteDL is awesome.
ReplyDeleteHi, Donna! I didn't recognize your new blog name! I love the Blitz team and was the very first one to sign up as soon as DL announced it. Excited to spread the blog love!
ReplyDeleteCarol: your welcome :)
ReplyDeleteDx: hope you join us partner
Deniz: I enjoyed mine too
Marcy: yes
Julie: you are awesome
I do love this idea. I haven't joined yet, but will have to check it out. I worry that I'll screw up and not visit someone on time, which is why I've hesitated.
ReplyDeleteThe Blog Blitz is a wonderful initiative and it doesn't take much out of us to visit the 'victims'.
ReplyDeleteShannon: there is no way to screw up love.
ReplyDeleteJoy: nope, doesn't take much to visit and leave a comment.
Good for you for supporting DL and the Blitz Crew :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't signed up for this blog blitz yet. I need to check it out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry its taken me so long...but THANK YOU for this. I can honestly say the BLITZ is one of the best things I've ever done out here in the Blogosphere! :)
