Blog the Recession

I know… I can’t forget about the good that happened last month. It just seemed that every where I turned some thing happened warranting a virtual hug of sympathy to be sent through this vast world wide web.
Because of all of this, Kristen over at Motherhood Uncensored, came up with a brilliant idea called Blog the Recession, in hopes that August would be a better month for us all.
The premise is simple. If you read blogs, then for the month of August, make the “pledge” to click through from your feed reader. No obligation to leave a hilarious comment or send a long stalkerish email (although both, within reason, are always lovely). Just click through to the blog (not on ads unless you are so led) and if you’re feeling generous, click around to their older posts.
Just those extra page views can make a big difference for bloggers who could really use the help…
So, I have made the commitment to visit many of my bloggy buddies whom I generally read through my reader. This might be a good time to tell you that you can subscribe to From Dates to Diapers in a reader. I know you don’t want to miss a single thing around here, right?
Oh, and Kristen has some really cool stuff you can win if you make the pledge and start spreading the love by posting about her event. You can win a Graco carseat, a $50 Amazon gift card and much more!
Will you make a pledge to Blog the Recession with me?
I am warning you now to be prepared when you visit Kristen – She calls her blog Motherhood Uncensored for a reason, so make sure your five-year olds aren’t reading over your shoulder!
Christine, aka YoungMommy, is married to her best friend, Ray, and together they have six very active children - five boys and one pretty princess - with one on the way. She's a busy mama, spending most of her days homeschooling her crew.
Awesome idea! I’m also clicking through to send some love — my page views went up significantly yesterday!
It was great chatting with you the other day. Let’s do it again sometime!
This is such a great idea. I have read about it on many blogs and need to get my own post up. I’m getting there, I’m getting there. I’ve been so busy reading everybody elses blog that mine has been pushed to the back. Gotta get back into the groove. Have fun visiting everybody!!
yep, I’m on board too.
I’m leaving comments for everyone on Kristen’s list
It’s the least I can do!
Just clicking through. I love your header and background.
I just joined the Blog the Recession. Such a great idea and fun as well. Another fun perk is finding great new blogs to frequent
Bloggers unite!! This is a great thing, not to mention a wonderful opportunity to read some new blogs! Cheers!
me 2!!
This is such a great idea! I’m clicking away.
Just dropping a “hello” In honor of the blog recession!
I’m working my way through the list, determined to click on each blog listed before the end of august! Must add: if you could see the struggles of the kids I teach, you’d be much more likely to believe there’s really an economic crisis. Call it recession or something else, it’s real.
