Hi all,
We're keen to get you out and about on the site and beyond, but here's what we need to promote you more powerfully on our homepage, Featured Bloggers slots, MN newsletters and social media:
- A bloggers network badge on your site: This is an important part of membership. The badge links back to the network homepage, which drives more readers to everyone. So keep the love flowing and attach that badge! We shared information on how to attach it in your welcome email, and please ping us as [email protected] if you're really struggling.
From October, we'll expect you to display the badge to gain a top promo slot on Mumsnet and newsletters, or to review products for us, so it's worth the effort.
- A picture for your blog: A few of you have sent em in, but most of you are concealing the goods. Don't be shy! A unique image for your blog will make it far more clickable.
And we need them to promote you as a Featured Blogger.
You could use a headshot, or whatever you use on social media. It needs to be at least 80 x 80 pixels, ideally square. But a rectangular shape is also OK. We can work with jpg or png formats.
Please send it to [email protected]. We'll cut them and add them to your profile.
- Your Twitter handle: Please take a gander at your profile on the directory and give us a heads-up if you didn't include your Twitter handle when you applied. It gives us a quick and powerful way to spread the word to our wider audience.
If you're new to Twitter, we'll be doing much more on this in the autumn, so watch this space. You can follow us @MumsnetBloggers for the latest from the blogs.
- Your blogging byline: We've taken the name on your blogging profile or left it blank (and we will never use your real name unless it's already out there on your blog). But please email us if you'd like to change your byline. Again, you can check this out in the bloggers directory.
OK, that's it for now.
Thanks, Elinor
