Blog Party Declared
I’ve been keeping this blog since July 30th of last year. In that amount of time, I’ve met so many of you, read so much of your writing, seen your photography, interacted with you, received your comments, and generally been given so much support that it was time to do this to say THANK YOU!! I declare a…
Here’s how it works:
Create a post on your blog about one of your current followers. Choose anyone you wish.
- Title your post “Blog Party Declared” and link back to this post somewhere in your post. This will create a pingback to this post which will appear in the comments below. This way everyone can be directed to your post to read about your featured follower as well as to give us all the opportunity to follow your blog and the blog of your featured follower.
- Keep your post from becoming too long but be sure to link to your follower’s blog and say why you’ve chosen them.
- Check back on this post on occasion to see the links that appear in the comments section so you can go see the blogs of others to read their latest work and to show them a little love by following.
NOTE: I promise to follow anyone who takes part in this blog party and I’ll also follow the blog featured in your post.
My Featured Blogger for this first Blog Party is:
Mike has been a follower here since virtually the beginning. It’s possible he was the first to follow, actually. And that’s not to mention that he’s been exceptionally supportive by hitting that “Like” button virtually every time I’ve posted.
Mike writes some great poetry. Shoot, even his titles are amazing! His most recent is THE CONFESSIONAL OF REMINISCENCE. Here’s an excerpt:
“You have the peerless cocktail mix
Defining the addled moron that was
Me in those sophomoric know-all days”
That could describe so many of us in our younger years of rebellion, teenage lust, wantonness, and craziness. Mike nails the description in this piece – something he has a habit of doing in his writing – nailing it!
And I haven’t even mentioned that Mike can rock the color black!
Go check him out and be sure to give him a follow. He’s a heckuva fine writer!
That’s pretty much it! Simple. Stick around and enjoy the Blog Party!

This is a wonderful idea, John. As soon as I drink 3 more cups of coffee, I will participate in your blog party! 🙂
Thank you, Clarissa!
I declared a blog party but not sure how to ping back to you or send it on to the person I chose. I imagine you will both see it if you check out the Reader? Not up on wordpress technology! 🙂
Thank you for joining in. The pingback came from having you put the link to my blog in your post so it worked great! It’s great to have you as a part of the blog party! 🙂
Thanks so much!
In this case, allow me to use that picture on BLOG PARTY! Let us do this. Get some fun! 🙂
Oh absolutely! Feel free to use that picture. I say go for it. 🙂
Thanks for this, John! 🙂
Anytime, Sherrie! Thank you for taking part. 🙂
I love this idea, John! I’ve posted my Blog Party post. Look forward to discovering some great blogs and meeting lots of new people! 🙂
Thanks!
I am a noob, but will try to do this Blog Party soon
Thanks. If you ever have any questions about WordPress or posts feel free to let me know. It’s great to meet you!
😍 thanks John
Great idea, and I went to Mike’s site and followed. That was a great poem indeed.
It is a very good poem and Mike’s blog is full of great writing.
Great Idea. I posted mine so hopefully I did it right so it pings back. In case it didn’t, here is the link https://andrewmferrell.wordpress.com/2015/03/26/blog-party-declared/
Looks like it worked. Thanks for joining in, Andrew! It’s great to meet you!
I just started my blog on Monday and already enjoying it and reading what you guys share, Im truly inspired.. I have got my first 3 followers today and it motivates me to write… I will be following most of you for more food for the soul 🙂
Thank you! It’s great to meet you! I look forward to more of your writing.

Excellent idea. More coffee and a few days and reading about 500 blogs I follow, and I will hope right on it.

Wow…such an ‘out of the box idea’…hats off..

Is it allowed to mention more than one bloggers in one post.?
Thanks! Oh, sure, mention as many bloggers as you want so we can bring them to everyone’s attention. Again, thanks for joining in!
