Hello Bloggers. Have you joined the MN Blogger Network yet?

[MmeLindt]

Hmm? I am waiting for MNHQ to approve my application. Do I need to bribe with chocolate, do you think?

[eastendmummy]

Ooh I saw that yesterday and will try to join. You've also reminded me to update my blog - it's been a crap week with ill children so haven't had the time. I love your blog btw!

[spamm]

MMeLindt - you have managed the impossible and made me miss Switzerland with your blog! Great writing - I will follow from now on!

[MmeSurvivedLent]

Hurrah. Thanks for compliments. Am not home at the mo so neglecting blog this week.

I love CH, Spamm. Did you live there?

[hambo]

Im waiting too....exciting!

[spamm]

Mme Lindt -Sorry, been away. I grew up just outside Morges, in a village called Apples. I know CH very well, but now live in the US, via the UK for 14 years. I have never really missed CH, it is a beautiful place and a fantastic place to grow up, but did not want to stay there as an adult. Felt it was too oppressive, although I am sure it is changing all the time.

Just applied now!
Very exciting.
I wonder what the Blogger Club will all be about :)

[bronze]

Been off mn for a while. what is the bloggers network thing?

[Tee2072]

I applied but not heard anything, I assume because of the holidays.

[butterflyexperience]

I had an email from MNHQ saying they are catching up due to holidays, so perhaps we will hear somthing next week.

[RubberDuck]

Link please?

[RubberDuck]

Ah never mind, apparently having a sore throat means my eyes don't work

[RubberDuck]

Hmm, does the blog itself have to be about parenting? Mine's veered away from that now the kids are older.

[bronze]

It's at the top here

Am going to apply now

[bronze]

Actually having got further into the process I'm not aso ssure I want to.

It makes me feel uncomfortable

[RubberDuck]

Yes, I'm concerned that real name is effectively linked to it - doesn't help that I use a different pseudonym and email address for my blog.

I suspect that this will get convoluted, fast!

[onesandwichshort]

I agree; don't want my blog very linked to my MN persona either. And it's about graphic design, so don't suppose it's going to grab a huge MN audience in any case...

[Tee2072]

I think the real name part is for MNHQ, but I could be wrong. I do think it's a bit vague on that, although I don't personally care since my Blog is Tee's Blog.

But I can see how some might want to keep MN and their blog separate.

Onesandwichshort, I'm a Graphic designer, I would love to see your blog if you wouldn't mind PMing me a link?

[MmeSurvivedLent]

sorry, am not around much at the moment. in PIL purgatory at present.

My name is the same on blog and here, so not bothered about that, but did not even occur to me that MNHQ would link in real names.

spamm
morges is a charming little place, across the water from where we are. would love to live in a village called apples. How sweet.

[MmeLindt]

Phew. Escaped from PILs and am back home.

Has anyone had a reply from MNHQ yet?

[overmydeadbody]

I just joined and am awaiting approval.

[overmydeadbody]

bronze why does it make you feel uncomfortable? You have me worried now...

[bronze]

I don't know it just felt like mn were too involved in my blog
more gut than anything

[butterflyexperience]

I also have not heard back from them, however have noticed them having a clean up on the Bloggers topic.

Perhaps we will hear this week.

[BigBadMummy]

Waving too. Recently started blogging, and only just seen this new corner of MN.

Have applied too.

Sitting up straight and waiting for Miss to let me know if I am in.

[overmydeadbody]

Interesting bronze. I don't want MN involved in my blog, I shall go and read the small print again. I just thought it would be somewhere where blogging MNers could get support from each other etc., rather than MNHQ being involved?
