What is A Linky Party - Blog Hop?

[Former_Member]

Have you been wondering what they are? I just posted about it on our Etsy Team Blog!

I'm also having my First Linky Party on my blog! Come check it out:

Cool! Great overview. The Team button contest is sort of like a linky party, too.

Love link parties, my traffic and comments have increased dramatically since join in several the last few weeks. Plus I have gotten some great craft ideas, tutorials and recipes from them as well.

Off to check yours out. I have been thinking about starting one too, not sure I could commit to the weekly running of one though, plus you have to think up a clever name, or at least I would want too.

Ok, I just joined your party, two things (I know you did not ask) anyway if you could make the title more then 20 charachters. Also your button is too big for my sidebar, I will go back and put a link in the post, but a smaller button option would be nice.

Good luck, I am sure it will take a while to get a good participation. Here is a page I found where you can link your link party.

I am participating in my first blog hop starting this Friday... I'm still not exactly sure how it works but tell me if this is right:

The person who created the blog hop posts everyone's blogs on their blog, then people who read that blog are encouraged to visit the other blogs and check out the stuff we made?
And as a participant I just make the item, post it to my blog, and that's it? I also added the blog hop button to me sidebar.
