Meridian, Ive sent my email to the blog addy.

Nbg · 01/02/2008 09:21

Meri, I did email the blog addy yesterday but let me know if hasnt arrived

meridian · 01/02/2008 09:41

nbg- have just invited you to be an author on the blog.. there should be 2 emails for you.

need to organize list of fav blogs... and I had the idea that we could maybe do a challenge every week or two? nothing big just maybe say the word blue... then post your blue craft on there? and feature any tutorials people can think of.. or online shops that people like.. or featured sales in individual shops.. or sale swaps.. and stay the hell off the mumsnet sales boards

any ideas?

lol at off the sale boards.

tutorials are good.
I spend ages looking through them on other blogs.

Can someone tell me how to link blogs.
I thought I'd done it on mine but when you go to them you cant click on them.

meridian · 01/02/2008 10:02

nbg-

from the dashboard page.. click on Layout

on the layout page click on add page element
then you need to click on link list and add that to the blog... then you just need to add the address and the name of the blog you want to add

Great, meri. I have the email

Now I have signed in but I havent the foggiest how to add my blog to the list or my profile.

I'm scared I'll ruin it all!

rantinghousewife · 01/02/2008 10:14

No email for me yet, was it mine that bounced back?

Nbg · 01/02/2008 10:28

Will see if I can do it on the craft one.

I will apologise in advance if I totally balls it up.

rantinghousewife · 01/02/2008 21:09

Ok will try it again, think ds has been messing with my settings.

Nbg · 02/02/2008 09:25

I've just logged onto the blog but I cant add my name to the list of contributers and daren't mess about with it in case I mess it up.

Also does anyone want me to add peoples blogs to the links?

meridian · 02/02/2008 09:29

champs and ranting have invited you so there should be emails in your inbox from me at the mncrafters email and from blogger.

if no one else does I'm going to post a small challenge post.. a colour or shape or soething to craft over the next week or so and then post everyones pictures on it.

does someone want to start with a blog of the week? a blog that you visit and like or an etsy shop recomendation?

just throwing out ideas as I want this group blog to work as i think its a fab idea

get thinking ladies.

Nbg · 02/02/2008 10:15

Can someone just do it for me please lol

Champs · 02/02/2008 15:33
