Last week, I decided I was going to (though it's actually Wednesday, time of writing, because I've a full day tomorrow) take part in (time allowing) #ThankfulThursdays - Promoting Generosity in Social Media
The link above will take you to Sarah Fader's blog, where you can read more about #ThankfulThursdays, but in short, the day is about promoting the work of others, honoring friends, expressing gratitude.
This week I want to say .... 'Thank You for the Hashtags'.
For #ThankfulThursdays (obviously) but also for #Mondayblogs, #ArchiveDay, #BeWoW, #LinkYourLife, #BluSkyFriday and #SundayBlogShare.
I really enjoy these blog share memes - I've met some great people, read too many 'good reads' to mention, and received lots of encouragement with regard to my own writing....What's not to like :o)
I could tell you more about the hashtags myself, but I think as this post is about promoting others, I'll shut up for a bit, and let my friends fill you in :)
I'll kick off with #MondayBlogs, which, To quote my friend Paula "Is the Mother of all hashtag memes where blog sharing is concerned."
Monday Blogs, was created by Rachel Thompson - I love it, I think you'll love it.... I'll let Rachel tell you more about it herself.... Here
***
Next up is #ArchiveDay (Saturday) - I love Archive day, An opportunity to brush up and recycle all those dusty old posts.. and those that are not so dusty :o)
#ArchiveDay is the brainchild of Vicky Charles - again, I'll hand over for more details.... Here
***
#BeWoW (Be Wonderful on Wednesdays) is a weekly Twitter blog share of positive posts.
***
Henrietta M Ross recently created #BluSkyFriday to (in her own words) "Give us all a head start before the weekend kicks in" :o)
More information Here
Henrietta (concerned about the lack of Tuesday love) has also launched #TuesdayShares... You can follow on Twitter Here.
***
#LinkYourLife (another Friday meme) is Shawna's baby. I've not joined in with this one yet, but will do (Time allowing) now that I know about it.
If you head over to Shawna's blog Here she'll tell you all about it.
***
And last, but by no means least #sundayblogshare - The relatively new..but Oh so huge, weekend Twitter Party.
****
I'm sure there are more blog share memes than those Iv'e outlined above (#wwwblogs springs to mind) but (aside from #LinkYourLife which Iv'e yet to dip into), these are the ones that I regularly take part in.
Thanks, all of you, for making me feel welcome, and valued :o)
Thank you for allowing me to share
God bless you, and all those you love

You're welcome Laura, You'll love #MondayBlogs & #SundayBlogShare....there are lots of people joining in each week.. some you will recognise, and lots of new people to connect with too :)
DeleteI'd never heard of the Thursday hashtag but what a lovely idea. The others... I participate sometimes but, if I don't have time to read and comment and RT, I don't because I feel rude putting mine in there without reciprocating. I think I miss out on a lot because of this. Anyway, thanks for the into to #ThankfulThursdays. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, thanks for popping by.. Thankful Thursdays is a new one :)
DeleteAs for the others, if I'm not able to take part fairly I feel the same as you, it feels rude to share and run.
You could always share you link along with an.. *I'm busy today, but will catch up with all your posts later in the week* promise - I've done that before :)

I like the Thursday one too Lizzi, though it hasn't really taken off TBH.... I must admit, with one thing and another o_O it's been weeks since I wrote a Thursday post myself, but I will get back to writing them when I'm feeling better.

I enjoy posting there weekly.
That's a new one on me, Thanks for sharing :)
DeleteWow! This is great. I have not heard of them. Thanks for sharing. I´ll check them out. Happy hump day!
ReplyDeleteI love finding new hashtags, a group of us got together and created # TuesdayBookBlog as too many people were abusing the #MondayBlogs with book promos. happy for others to use it for any blog posts containing book reviews, author interviews, book cover reveals etc we try to share all genuine blog posts which keep to these specs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for that info, Rose... I'll pass the hashtag on to those who might be interested. Thank you for stopping by :)
DeleteOh this is helpful! Sometimes I run out of ideas for hashtags - ha!
ReplyDeleteSome new ones to check out! Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteHi, Lisa. I'm glad the post clarified the 'hashtaggy' things (LOVE your made up word there, will be stealing ;)
