It’s 2019, let’s cut to the chase.
We all want more blog followers. We all want to interact with new people and grow our community because bloggers are fun, we understand each other, and this written world we’ve created is a great escape from whatever is going on out there.
*Points to oblivion*
But let’s be honest, it’s hard finding new blogs we like. It’s hard making connections with bloggers who don’t leave comments because you don’t know what they’re thinking, or how their ad-lib conversational voice sounds.
Are they a, haha-er? Do they say, Lol? Do they use way more exclamation marks than they normally would, as to not sound blunt? We may never know!
So let’s stop tip-toeing around the pumpkin patch, put on our adult Pampers, and just get this all out there in the open.
No more excuses. No more sitting on the sidelines and refusing to participate. I’m only handing out post-game orange slices to those who participate.
If you want to meet new bloggers, introduce yourself in the comments section below and leave a link to your blog. It could be a link to your homepage, or a link to your favourite post.
If I were leaving a comment, I would say something like this:
“Hi! I’m Paul! Pardon the exclamation marks, I’m just trying to look non-threatening. I don’t know what my blog is about, but what I do know is that upon reading the words I write, you may be tempted to do one of the following: laugh, smile, crave pizza, shake your head, yell at me in all caps, or wonder where the heck I came from.”
You can say whatever you want, but put your best foot forward. Then take your best foot out. Then put it back in and shake it all about.
Hokey pokey.
Anyway, this “Share Your Blog” thing isn’t an original idea. I used to see posts like this on WordPress all the time a few years ago, but haven’t lately. I find they’re more prominent on Twitter these days, but I feel like those threads only attract the same genre. I could be wrong.
My unrealistic goal for this post is to have 100+ bloggers introduce themselves and leave links, so we can all click on each one and discover a blog we didn’t know was there.
If anyone wants to put a link at the bottom of their next blog post, to lead your followers to the comments section of this post, that would be great.
Or even start your own “Share Your Blog” post and bring a crowd to your comments section. Whatever gets the new interactions ball rolling.
I don’t care if you already follow me, or if you came across this post in your Reader, leave a comment. Say hello. Click on the other links. Say hello to them. Follow their blog.
We need to stop being shy and just leave a reply on an unsuspecting person’s comment.
You all know how exciting it is to receive a notification, especially from someone new. So, do it!
One last time:
1. Introduce yourself in the comments section
2. Say something about yourself/your blog
3. Leave a link to your blog
4. Interact with the other bloggers who comment
5. Alert the media (optional)
Please don’t let me down. It’s only January 2. There’s a 90-day window at the start of every year where you can’t let anyone down. It’s a rule, look it up.
Everyone understand? Cool.
Let’s do it.
Thank you!
This year, I definitely want to get better at doing that slightly uncomfortable self-promo, so thanks for this opportunity, Paul!
I blog at coolbeans4.wordpress.com/ and it’s a lifestyle/pop-culture/anything blog that hopefully should appeal to most everyone a little. I hope you find my little slice of the internet amusing because I sure enjoy writing it and connecting to so many new people!

Hi, my name is Aaron, and I’m a blogger. It’s been just under 24 hours since my last post (though I’m planning to write something new today). That thing I did yesterday started out with the intention of being a humorous list of obvious/vague predictions for the year to come. But somewhere along the way it turned into a more serious rant about the overall negative tone of social media. I prefer when my blog is lighter and funnier, which I hope there’s plenty of. There’s a lot of content to read over at The Confusing Middle. It’s not always great and every post doesn’t necessarily strike a chord with everyone. But I’d love for you to stop by and pick through the posts you think look interesting. The link I’m providing will take you to my About Me page, which is pretty much just a list of 100 random facts about me. Stick around and say hi. Don’t be a stranger. A stitch in time saves nine. https://confusingmiddle.com/about/

I started my blog as a way to tell a story about an awful, painful experience. It was extremely cathartic and I’m happy to have potentially helped some people. But since then my blog has changed-warped if you will, into what it is today. I call my genre reality blogging (because I hate the term lifestyle) with some story telling, travel updates, and more recently DIY furniture flipping. I’m not as active on my blog as I once was (mainly because I just bought a motorcycle), but I still enjoy making posts and using my platform as a creative outlet.

As always, Paul, you have an enchanting way of expressing insightful ideas. Guys can have enchanting ways … you can cast spells…. I thought you knew that.
Anyway, a great idea you have here.
It is taking a great deal of effort on my part to overcome my shyness, and lack of self confidence, to comment – never mind introduce myself. That’s the reason I rarely comment, even thought there are often things running through my mind in reaction to your posts. I love your take on life and the way you can express it.
My name is Janette, although you won’t find that on my blog anywhere. It’s about books. I read them, tell you about them, and hope to influence you to find a passion for reading to match mine. I don’t mind if we don’t share the same interests in books as long as I can inspire you to read. I like well written, interesting, and clean books. That limits my appeal a little I’m sure.
You can find me at https://theonetocaptureyourinterest.blog For The Love of Books
I’ve tried to do like Paul and mix my story in with the main subject of this blog but it hasn’t gone over well. So, I’ve started another blog with the tagline – A safe place to talk about PTSD and other things we wrestle with. I’m hoping it will be ready to go public soon. It will be mentioned on the book blog when it does.
Looking forward to seeing you on either blog if you are interested.

Hello world, I’m December, and you can find my blog at https://decemberrosewriting.com and/or follow my Instagram @decemberrosewriting. I mostly write poetry but I have always wanted to write a book, so I’m starting that as a sort of New Years Resolution. My favorite section is solely stream-of-consciousness writing called “Scatterbrain” where I make no attempt to form a coherent thought and just allow myself to write whatever words are being pushed out of my keyboard. Sometimes it’s like blinking words. Thoughts are usually formed somewhere along the way, but they are not pre-orchestrated.
A lot of my writing is about finding beauty in mundane, loving/forgiving yourself, and the things I find hope in, and those elements will definitely be in my book. Let me know what you think 🙂

Secondly … Hi, Everyone! I’m Biff. I write a humor blog. Having never pursued my dreams of being a stand-up comedian, I decided instead to try to make people smile or laugh with my writing. I’m not always successful, but it’s not for lack of trying!
My blog is a mix of (1) humorous short fiction and (2) humorous journal entries about my less-than-exciting days.
My fiction consists almost entirely of a series of short stories set in my fictional world, which is inhabited by a married couple called Alistair and Alexis. These stories can be categorized as equal parts romantic comedy, screwball comedy, period piece, and Wodehouse-ian refined absurdity. Here is a link to my latest A&A story about their exciting NYE celebration.

OKAY PAUL I WILL SHARE MY BLOG AND LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT WHEN I’M WRITING IN ALL CAPS I AM JUST VERY EXICTED NOT MAD AT THEM SO I USE EXCLAMATION MARKS A LOT!!
Anyhow, hello potential friend!
I am Tanushka, 16, Indian, Hufflepuff, science student, a very weird poet, and an absolute lover of chocolates. My passion is writing, so i used to bug my friends and family everyday to read what I’ve written. They all got sick of me pretty soon, so i decided to start a blog in hopes that someone on the internet, somewhere away from my house, will read my almost pretentious musings and validate me, hence the title “that desperate friend”. It’s been going well so far. I love harry potter and have linked my favourite poem of all time, about, you guessed it, harry potter. My poetry ranges from ‘is she oksy that was really depressing’ to ‘i hsve never read anything funnier’. Sometimes to clear my head, i write nonsense for 700 words, and if i like the nonsense, i upload it. I am very regular, because i am always writing something, because thst is how i cope up with my physics syllabus. Somebody asked me what im most proud of, and i think it is this thing I’ve been running for 2 years now.
Thank you Paul, I’ve been an ardent reader for 2 years. I was really sad when they discontinued the community pool on wordpress, but i should’ve known i can always count on you to fix everything.

A lot of fascinating blogs to check out! Hopefully some of you will be mad enough to check out mine! I’m Ben, a 30-something guy from the UK with a personal blog at http://www.meerkatmusings.co.uk. I rant about life, Liverpool FC, politics and Nintendo. I’ll poke my nose into controversial subjects from time to time. I like to be challenged too, so please don’t hesitate to do so!

Hi, I’m Amber. My blog space is called Amber in the Attic. I look at this space as a diary really where I can write anything I want. I have children so I write about them. I’ve just qualified as a midwife so I’ve written a lot about studies and balancing. I wrote about my relationship and my boyfriend who is very much the twin of chandler from friends. I write about sex sometimes. I write poetry. I write about music. Whatever is on my mind & whatever needs to be expressed, I try to express it here. It’s a good reflection tool. Please do check it out, don’t feel obliged to follow but if you would love some feedback on what other things I could write about that might interest anyone reading my blogs. Happy new year 🥳
And…….Here’s the link… https://ambersoriginalattic.wordpress.com/ 🙈

Hey Amber! Just a heads up, when I click on your name I’m lead to a dead end page, rather than your blog. To fix that, you can go to your profile > account setting > and then edit URL. Hope that helps!

Hello! Thanks for facilitating this exchange, Paul. ☺️
I’m Roshni. I started blogging with the goal of becoming a versatile writer. So I dabble in different genres and themes to push myself to explore. You can find different styles of poetry and some prose at https://roshniramanan.wordpress.com/author/roshniramanan/
I’m really looking forward to discovering some phenomenal bloggers here! Happy 2019🎊

Hi! I actually just stumbled upon this blog!
My blog focuses on injustice that we are often blind to and/or blindly commit…hence the title of the blog (Blind Injustice): https://blindinjusticeblog.com
My favorite post is on emotional consent, or making sure we have consent to share our burdens with others before actually sharing. It’s so important to seek emotional consent yet it’s often not done: https://blindinjusticeblog.com/2018/12/04/looking-to-share-emotional-burdens-with-a-friend-before-sharing-lets-seek-consent/

Blogging and being shy? I didn’t think that was a thing. I have been blogging for over 10 years now, since I started after my mother died, as an outlet. I only share my blog with Strangers or People Who Are Strange due to negative attitudes of family. My blog is a True Life, diary type blog. I try to post at least once a day. I don’t use real names in my blog but if we get close enough to text or call, that would change. In the meantime, I go by Authoress51 and my blog is; https://www.FinalChapter.WordPress.com

OH MY GAWD PAUL!!! Look at this!!! This is blogger connection heaven here! Look what you done did,Captain! Lol!!
First of all, I skipped a few posts I was behind on just to come here first because this was WAY too exciting!!
I’d like everyone to know I’ll be clicking on every single link to check everyone out and hoping to make ALL the connections! This was MUCH needed!
As for myself? (Brace yo-selves). I’ll keep this short like me. Except I’m 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 2 inches worth of writing could be A LOT, so let’s scratch that. Ok I’m ranting.
My name is Ely. I’m a cool mom, a health care pro, a pro cake designer and also? I rant. My blog is my safe haven. I can say and do whatever I want there and no one can touch me. I am, in all of my madness, a passionate, but potty-mouthed chick who writes about everything and nothing and it just depends on the weather and how the stars are aligned on any given day. I talk to myself while I write…a lot… and I invent rules of grammar that transcend humanity. But when I write, it is my genuine voice. It will feel like we are having an actual conversation.
I will rant about Jesus being an alien. I will rant about writing. I will write ranty letters to all of the idiots of the universe who affect my day to day life. I will rant about pumpkins. I will rant about how I have an addiction to bending paper clips. Oh my god I’m ranting right now. I will rant about my mental and emotional health. And I will rant about how much I rant. Boom.
And I don’t give a fox.

this blogger connection is great Paul, I must say I absolutely love your writing, always making me laugh, especially love the bachelor ones even though i don’t watch reality shows, your recap is too funny … I will definitely look at all of the above blogs .
I’m Mariola, I started a beauty blog, reviewing products and writing about beauty events i have been invited to, but it has turned more into a journal as well , writing about the places i have traveled to, also I have been posting some of the photos I have taken in photo challenges which are always fun to do.

Thank you for the kind words! Those Bachelor posts are some of my proudest, just because of how many people don’t watch the show, but read the post instead.

Interesting, Paul!
Hi everyone! My name is George and my site is https://www.gsilvosatrekpix.com
I take photographs and I blog about my photographs. Sometimes, I can be insightful. Otherwise, I can just be talking about random things. Hopefully, either way, my photographs and my blog will entertain you.
I will be checking the other links and I am looking forward to productive interaction between us.
Wishing you all the best day ever!

Thank you Paul for this opportunity to share our blogs.
Hi, I’m Linda and I am an avid walker. My blog is called “Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy” and is about my daily treks around SE Michigan, mostly to a nature nook near my home. On weekends, I take longer treks and I write a lot about nature. Occasionally I wax nostalgic about when I was growing up as well. I finished up the year with 1,162 miles and would have done better if I wasn’t such a weenie about going out in the rain – really, I’m not made of sugar! Fellow bloggers say “change that mindset – go out in the rain – get more steps in” … so that is one of my New Year’s resolutions. Here is my blog: https://lindaschaubblog.net/
