Itââ¬â¢s Like an Auto Show for Blogs This Weekend
At Open Comment Night last night, we talked about Creative Networking. Lots of great ideas were gathered, and that conversation got me thinking about more of them. Two years ago, we had a weekend showcase for blogs. I thought it might be fun to try it again.
So this weekend is a Successful-Blog Blog-to Show. It’s a Virtual Auto Show for Blogs. Detail your blog. Polish the trim and come show it off. We’ll line them up, look them over, and get to know each other and our blogs just that much better.
Hereââ¬â¢s what you do.
Write up the following information:
Blog Title
Blog URL link:
Blog Tagline
A sentence or two about what makes your blog worth visiting.A brief paragraph of blogging advice or a short bloggy quote that shows a little personality.
E-mail that information to Liz at lizsun2@gmail.com with BLOG-TO SHOW in the subject line before Saturday July 26. (GMT -6 hrs. See clock in the sidebar)
Please note: The Deadline for Submission has passed.
Click here to go to the Aggregate Post. It’s up already!!
OPTIONAL: You might want to write a blog post for the weekend that introduces folks to your most popular posts content with links to take them there.
OPTIONAL: Stumble this post so that lots of folks will be there to see what you bring.
Iââ¬â¢ll feature your blog in the Blog-to Showcase on Saturday with a linkback so that folks can come visit.
Itââ¬â¢s FREE PROMOTION and visibility for your blog and your brand. It would be silly to pass it up.
Summer and social gatherings go together. Whatever the season where you are now, online it can be a summer Blog-to Show on Saturday!

Liz:
Sounds like a great opportunity! I’m definitely in.
Blog Happy!
Fab idea Liz. A new blog I’ve just started for my husband’s biz Pro Studio Supply could certainly use your professional advice. Great timing for me. Thanks a million.
Nancy
Oh, Liz! I remember that first blog-to show! That was one of the very first ways I ever promoted my blog, and just about the first time we met. How very cool that it is back! 🙂
Hi Vicky!
We did it once in 2006. Yeah, it’s fun!
Hi Kris,
Got it!
Of course, you can, Karin!!
Hey Sage!
You’re always community building yourself. Hope you’ll bring your blog!
Hiya, Blogger Newbie,
It’s a great way to introduce yourself!
Bring over, Nancy.
Lots of folks will stop by to see it. 🙂
Yeah Becky!
I know. I was looking at it last night and thinking the very same thing.
Need some time but will submit. I thought I opted-in to the open mic email list but haven’t gotten the notices (?).
Hi Pamir!
Looking forward to your submission! I made sure you’re on the Tuesday email list this morning. 🙂
Great idea and opportunity, Liz. It’s on my “to do” list!
Fabaulous Delaney!
Can’t wait to share your blog!
what I great idea, will go and do a post on Thinking home business
Hi Suzie!
Thanks for the encouragment!
Liz: you’re always so giving! Thank you… I’m going to polish ‘er up and get ‘er ready to show :-p
Hi Liz – Thank you. That’s a really generous gesture and it’s a great way to hear about new blogs we’d like to visit.
Hi Ricardo!
Our blogs can be social too! 😉
Hi Cath,
Yeah it’s always fun to see who comes out for an event like this!
Hi, Liz-
I am so glad I finally got my SOB badge proudly posted on my blog. Geez, I’ll have to get my tail in gear to get into the parade by Saturday. So glad you are doing this.
Patricia
Hi Patricia!
Can’t wait to see how you describe your blog and what wisdom you send with it. 🙂
I will be there – I have lots of detailing and polishing to do first.
And I still have to figure out what to write for the ‘brief paragraph of blogging advice or a short bloggy quote that shows a little personality.’
Look to your blog for the answers . . . 🙂
Hi Liz!
Saw your tweet about your Blog-to show summer gathering, how cool!
I’ll be emailing you, thanks for the opportunity! 🙂 (oh yeah, it’s been stumbled! 😉 )
Hi JoLynn,
thanks for all you do!!
You’re the best!!
You should see me smiling. 🙂
I’m in, too. Already sent a mail, wrote on my blog and now I’m stumbling.
Wow, that’s a really cool project for you to start up, thanks Liz. I’m surprised we haven’t seen something like this yet, come to think of it!
Hi Chip!
Welcome and thanks for spreading the word!!
Hi Cody,
I did this once before, in 2006. I’ve been meaning to do it again . . . finally here it is!! 🙂
Liz,
This is a fun idea. I have sent my submission.
Thanks,
Aneesa
Wow, great thanx! L:ooking forward to see whats arround.
email sent!
Great idea! Can’t wait to submit!
Hi Liz! I’m in!
I’ve jumped in!
You are THE BEST Liz! Thanks so much for doing this promotion. 🙂
I sent you an email, and now I’m off to polish my blog! 😀
Any way I can participate without actually submitting my blog?
Thanks everyone,
This is turning out much bigger than I expected.
Rick, I just had an idea . . . meet me on Twitter. 🙂
Great idea! I’ve emailed my info. And I look forward to reading and “meeting” other bloggers.
Thanks, Miranda!
I’ve got it!
Thanks so much! This is a great idea. I’m of the opinion that being a generous to others always pays off, often in unexpected ways. I’ll be here to check out everyone else and shop for feeds.
Liz, way to go for thinking outside the box.
Looks like fun.
For the record: I never heard your idea. But I submitted my blog after all. So the other commenters know.
Yes, it WOULD be silly not to participate.
Thank you.
Liz,
Brilliant idea! Definitely “feeding the Blob”; )
Thank you for opening this to us all.
Finally after doing a complete overhaul of my blog in preparation for this….I can sign up!
Excellent idea – I’ll send my email shortly.
Enjoy, Barbara
Thank you, Liz. Sent mine in. I really appreciate the opportunity.
Great idea, but ohhh the pressure. Lots to do and little time to do it in. Can I overcome in time to get my act together?
Thanks for doing this 🙂 I’ve got mine submitted!
Now, to go home tonight and churn out some new content so I have something exciting to link to in the morning.
COOL! Thanks. I just sent you an e-mail.
Liz, GREAT idea! I just tweeted it after reading about it.
I realized after hosting BlogHop ââ¬Ë08 last week how many blogs are out there I have NO idea about!
I’ll post @ it this weekend, too :).
So excited about this! E-mail is on its way!
Just found this through Mrs. Fussypants on Twitter. Looks like a great idea!
Will get cranking and submit later today.
And I’ll be back to browse your blog!
Submitted my site. Thanks for the opportunity!
I just submitted our blog. This looks like an interesting way to find out about several new blogs out there. I’ll be looking forward to your post.
Will a blog be disqualified from the show if it doesn’t have a tagline yet? 😉 Off to spit n polish my blog.
I just sent over my email – thank you so much for doing this. I can’t wait to get to know new bloggers:)
Off to submit my blog.
I sent my email early this morning. Great idea, Liz, and thank you!
I did it…just submitted my entry. So far it sounds like it’s going to be a great lil event! I’m really looking forward to it…
Terrific idea, Liz! Come to think of it, I don’t know why we don’t see this kind of thing more often. Looking forward to it!
Hi Liz,
I’m in. Can hardly wait to see it all happen.
Just submitted my blog – I hope it’s not too late!
Hi Liz, I found you via Geoffrey Philp’s blog. I just commented him and thought your readers might be interested to see what I wrote:
Hello Geoffrey!
After reading your post I decided to sign on to this as well. Unlike you, I don’t think I’m going to post an article about my posts. You see, some of the articles I believe I researched and wrote to perfection, have barely been seen by netizens, while some posts that were written quickly, even some as “throwaways” have gone on to become monster hit-grabbers. Some posts that I wrote in 2005 are still catching hits on a daily basis.
In recent months, two posts, one about teen actress Miley Cyrus and the other about Hillary Clinton’s right-hand Huma Abedin, gobbled up traffic like there was no tomorrow, while some special stories and RIPS barely got noticed (except this week’s post about the death of DJ K-Swift).
Some blogs are able to atract large numbers of RSS subscribers and a “following” or regular readership. In my estimation I have about 50 total “followers.” But you know what? On any day should my blog get thousands of hits, it’s those 50 loyalists who really count, who make my day when I look in the blog stats and see that they’ve come back.
For me, the best thing about blogging (besides getting issues out there and off my chest) is meeting wonderful people, like you and many others. Thank-you Geoffrey, and thank-you “others” for making my daily journey across life a little easier each day.
Peaceful Blessings,
Dave Lucas
Hi Liz, I sent mine in last night. Looking forward to seeing all the other blogs!
Hi Liz – I’m sooo impressed with what you’e doing here. Just wanted to remind you that you are awesome.
What an excellent idea, Liz. You always come up with the best of them. Too bad I got wind of it too late to join in (been under the weather for the last few days…figures).
I’ll definitely join in the reading part of it though.
Ho did I miss this opportunity? I am just seeing this now and it pained me. Anyway, there wil lbe a second chance I hope. I love this initiative!!!
It’s already 12noon Sunday in Nigeria where I live hence
Oh but of course, since it required physical presence, I guess I am kind of diqualify. I hope as time goes on you will extend the invite to pple living abroad. Thanks
Again you are trailblazing Liz. Wish I’d not been on a plane so much last week and missed hearing about this earlier. Yet I will peruse the posts and refer to your glorious Me2We showcase where one prson – you – leveraged more value with and for many other adept bloggers
Perhaps this will be an annual event, eh?
