Blog-liscious Meme’s

Meme’s – in the world of mommy and personal blogs, a meme is sort of like a question or game that is answered daily or weekly or monthly depending on the rules of that meme … ie: my Open Letter meme is done every Friday … I love these types of blog-tivities … they garner traffic and allow bloggers to introduce themselves in a unique way … not to mention, it keeps the blog juices flowing and prevents “blogger’s block” … (try saying THAT 3x fast)

This page features a list of meme’s or weekly games that I have created or that I participate in … I invite anyone and everyone to participate in these games … To view past post, just click on the category associated with the particular meme on my blog’s home page/sidebar …

Wordle Wednesday’s …

Wordle’s are a new addiction of mine … they’re word clouds that are randomly strewn about either horizontally or vertically … they’re colorful and just a unique way of showcasing words … Your Wordle can be about anything on your mind at the time of wordling … one of my last Wordle’s described my current setting but one of my participant’s decided to make it a guessing game of sorts and her Wordle was made up of word clues …

Open Letter Fridays

Open Letter Fridays is my favorite meme … I remember the days when writing a letter was the ultimate course of action! You meant business when you wrote a letter … Well, since email and the internet were invented, people seldom write letters anymore … With this meme you can write a letter to anybody or anything … every Friday and throw it out into the blogosphere for it to hopefully reach it’s recipient one day … it’s cool if you just want to share it with your friends too
