Okay, I’ll be the first to admit I’ve never heard of a blog chain before. So, I decided to do a search…I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat…got my magnifying glass… and stooped forward in an investigative stance. NAH! Just kidding. I let my fingers do the work and Googled it. Interestingly, there is not much information on the topic; at least none that I could find (within the time limit I wanted to spend on it) explaining what it is and what purpose it serves.
So, I'll just jump in since I joined the Blog Chain initiated by Suzanne Lieurance at The National Writing for Children Center (NWCC): http://writingforchildrencenter.com
From what I gather, those involved in the chain post as often as possible (once a day would be ideal) on their own site during the event. Obviously, the content should be of value. At the end of each post, the blogger links to the next blogger in the chain. Each chain member should visit every other blogger involved at least once during the event, as well as promote the Chain. In this particular Chain, the social networking promotion blurb will link to the NWCC site.
The NWCC will be the headquarters, listing the links of those bloggers in the Chain. It will also provide daily updates of the progress of the event.
I hope you join in and follow this Chain Blog, there should be some valuable and interesting posts, AND, you’ll learn along with me how one pans out.
Oh, silly me, the Blog Chain begins tomorrow, February 1st and runs through Monday, February 8th. Please be sure to check out: http://writingforchildrencenter.com for the links to the bloggers participating.
The first link is: http://www.suzannelieurance.com, so stop on by there tomorrow, Monday, February 1st.
Stay tuned; this should be interesting!
