Blogging Tips: Easy Way to Join Link Parties

The first time I joined Link Parties I only joined few blog hosts. The reason is it was too time consuming. And when you joined tons of blog parties your post will end up very long because the buttons are not uniform in sizes. I decided to think of something that will help me joined a lot of blog parties and make my posting short because of the uniform hosts' buttons.

Here's what I came up with.

First, I saved all the html codes of all the parties I've joined coming from my "Parties" page


to a word document.




To make all the buttons like this:


I edit all the HTML codes in my Word document to this format and save it. (You need to do this format for each button.) 
<a border="0" href="http://www.scrapidoodlelicious.blogspot.com/" target="blank"><img src="http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/guinever1126/GrabButtonFinal1.jpg" width="125" height = "125"/></a>

(All the Blue are standard; the Red is the website url; the Purple is the link for the button)
(You can change the size of width and height depending on what size you want.)


When it's time to join the party:

1. I go to my Word document and copy the url or webpage of the host. (http://www.scrapidoodlelicious.blogspot.com/)

2. Open a browser and  paste the url. (http://www.scrapidoodlelicious.blogspot.com/) 

3. Find the Party post and link your project. 

4. Once it's link, I copy the html code button from my Word document to my post.  (This part below:)

<a border="0" href="http://www.scrapidoodlelicious.blogspot.com/" target="blank"><img src="http://i1191.photobucket.com/albums/z475/guinever1126/GrabButtonFinal1.jpg" width="125" height = "125" /></a>

5. Then, paste to your post. 


6. Just repeat steps 1-5 for the rest of the great parties you are joining in.

It's a lot of work in the first time but but it's worth saving time to add to you new post. Just cut and paste.


Hope this help! If you have easier idea, please share the link of your post in the comment so we can help other bloggers to save time in joining the parties. Thanks!

But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run,

and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

-           Isaiah 40:31
