BTB: Horse bloggers: Let's help each other

Posted: 28 Jun 2010 01:03 PM PDT

I'd like to invite all horse bloggers to join a Google Group Horse Bloggers! Why do we need a group? Well, these reasons occurred to me:

To learn about new horse-related blogs (broadly defined to include donkeys, mules, farm life, land use, other topics vaguely horse-related).
To promote each other through badge sharing, article references, link backs,
To share ideas for contests, topics, content, advertising (if that's your bag), etc.

Sixteen horse bloggers have already joined, and I've created a page 'o badges as well as helping two bloggers create their own promotional badge.

Why aren't you clicking on the link to join, already?

I don't wanna inundated with mail! Google let's you turn off email (read posts only when you go to the web site) or receive messages in one daily digest.

I'm not a serious/ambitious blogger. This group is for folks who do it for fun or for profit, who blog daily or occasionally, who are technically experienced or not, and in any discipline or focus -- for anyone, really.

I don't see how it will benefit me or my readers. Well, for one thing, if you join and provide a badge I'll feature your badge on top of my blog for a week. How's that?

I like to maintain anonymity. All you need to provide is an email and your blog.

I'm anti-social and don't join groups. Oh. Okay.

The first project
The first project is to help the bloggers share badges with one another. Some bloggers don't have a badge and don't know how to make one -- two have gotten help from the group and now have a badge to share. See our growing badge page...
