The Accidental Housewife's Link Party!

Well hello!

Welcome to our party!

Come on in, grab a drink (Annie made mojitos) and have a mingle!

Here's how to get your link on the list:

1) Go and pick a "housewifey" post from your own blog. 

We decided yesterday that a housewifey post is anything about the work that is done in the home. Extra points if it could be improved by the wearing of an apron! So this includes housework, recipes, home organization, pets and small livestock, opinions and views about the same, and any other subject that might be helpful or interesting to women (or men!) who work in the home.

2) Copy the web address of your specific blog post

Please don't just copy the general address of your blog, otherwise people will get lost when they try to find your post later.

3) Click on the blue "Add your link" button below.

Then follow the instructions. The name you put in the title will appear on the list. Don't worry, if you get it wrong you can delete the link and have another try. (To delete a link you've added, click the red cross next to your link on the list.)

4) Add the button. 

It's like a party hat, so everyone knows where to come to join in!

Copy the code in the box below the LinkLove button.

Then either:
  • add an HTML widget to your side bar and simply paste in the code, or
  • open the edit mode on your post, change to the HTML mode, and then paste the code in. (At the very top or very bottom is easiest!)

5) You're done! 

Now head on over and mingle with our other party guests. Leave plenty of comments as a thank you for coming! And if you're interested in what they have to say, why not follow them? It's a great encouragement.

Thank you so much for coming to our party!

  1. Hi Mrs A, I found these instructions really easy to follow, thanks! I'm looking forward to visiting everyone's blog this week. I often have trouble leaving comments on blogspot. I think I must be failing those little "prove you're not a robot" typing tests. So to Busy mum of 3...love your christmas cake instructions!

    1. Thankyou, it really is a very very nice cake, and well worth the effort.

  2. I look forward to checking out some of these blogs--I generally find people I like from their writing about life, and then listen to their advice on recipes or other home matters, but I'll reverse my tactic this time and see how it goes. :)

  4. For some reason i am having trouble adding your button to my blog (my blogger issue not your button i think!) Promise to add it as soon as i figure out why it won't let me paste to the box all of a sudden!

    1. I copied and pasted into HTML but couldn't get it to appear on my blog, either. If anyone has been successful, let me know!

    3. Ok, the code looks ok from my end, make sure you are copying all the text in the box, not just what is visible - there's more below!

      Thanks for trying so hard to get it fixed, I really appreciate it.

    4. Blogger is really annoying me now! It just won't let me paste into the HTML gadget all of a sudden! I vow to conquer it and get your button displayed lol!
