Welcome to 52 Weeks of Blog Community Week #5! We’re now on our second month! Yep, first month’s over and you can see the list of last week’s participants below. Plus, I’ll be sharing month one’s participants’ list on our first party on the 14th of Feb.
Anyway, if you’ve missed out on our first month of blog community lovin’, do join in this week to be eligible for our Month 2 Party. In Month Two (Weeks #5 – 8), we’re giving away a Winner’s Choice Gift. Yep, this time, you can choose your prize – be it a Pro account of a service, something on eBay or Etsy that you fancy, a gift certificate, or whatever. As long as it’s: 1) Worth US$30 or less; and 2) It can be paid via Paypal (so, sadly, Amazon certificates are out). Cool?
So, what’s up this week? And, how can you join?
Well, it’s simple. All you need to do is send some Blog Post Lovin’ to the URL of the commenter before you. You can send such lovin’ in many different ways. You can be creative, if you wish. Some ideas include: 1) Twittering the post; 2) Sending it some link love; 3) Stumbling/Digging/etc. the post; 4) Emailing it to friends/family; 5) Leaving a comment on the post; 6) Sharing it on del.icio.us or Facebook or MySpace… I’m sure you can think of other things!
In any case, here’s a step-by-step guideline:
1) Choose a blog post (either one of your own or someone else’s that you wish to support).
2) Leave a comment here with the URL of your chosen blog post and how you plan to send love to the Blog Post (1-2 words will do!).
3) Commenter #1 can choose any of my blog posts (it can be this one; or anything else he/she wishes to use; #1 commenter privilege 
).
4) Commenter #2 will send some Blog Post Lovin’ to Commenter #1’s chosen Blog Post. Commenter #3 will do the same for Commenter #2. And so will Commenter #4 for Commenter #3, etc etc.
5) If you’re last commenter, I will be the one sending your Blog Post some lovin’.
Easy, yes? But, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!
Looking forward to how this week turns out!
UPDATED NOTES:
- Deadline for this week’s task is 17 Feb 2008, Sunday. I post new tasks on Mondays.
- Please just post comments related to this task. If your comment is NOT related to this task, it will be deleted, to avoid confusion.
- Questions are welcome via the Web Contact Form or comments.
Anyway, last week’s Stumble-Lovin’ Participants were:
- Toni (http://macaronigirl.stumbleupon.com/)
- Kari (http://urbanwallflower.stumbleupon.com/)

- Nicola (http://evilangel277.stumbleupon.com/)
By the way, I added all participants as ‘Friends’ on StumbleUpon – and I Stumbled everyone’s blogs. I know that wasn’t part of what was promised, but I wanted to do it anyway as a way to say thanks for participating.
So yes, thanks again! I’ll be posting everyone who’re eligible for our first monthly party on the 14th of Feb 08. Participants from 52WoC #1 – 4 will be included.
And, I hope you’ll all join Week #5!

Hmm…. I think I’m going to do a special post and Twitter about your blog as a whole, rather than just this project. I’ve got some ideas I’m toying with
Oh, when is this weeks challange due by? Need to make sure it’s ready on time!
Edited by Shai:
Commenter #2, please send some love to – http://urbanwallflower.com/blog/?p=217
Shai Coggins reply on February 12th, 2008:
Hi, Kari. Thanks. Sounds good. I’ve updated the task to show the deadline (17th Feb).
Which one’s your Blog Post URL that needs to be sent love to?
Jeanne 02.13.08 at 3:52 pm
Stumbled and Twittered (tweeted? LOL). I’m really liking this 52 Weeks thing
Shai Coggins reply on February 13th, 2008:
Hi, Jeanne! Thanks! Saw that.
And I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
Anyway, just two things:
1) I hope you send some “love” to Kari’s post (see link – http://urbanwallflower.com/blog/?p=217 ).
2) Please share with us the link/blog post that you wish Commenter #3 will send some love to.
Again, thank you!

Shai, your pupils are not behaving very well here are they?
I like this idea though it’s a bit complicated… I stumbled Kari’s post but won’t comment because then I have to register and I won’t do that for just one blog. :-/ I think that if you want to have comments you will make it easy on the readers, not difficult…
Anyway, I want to give link love to a link post written by Heather:
http://www.acreativejournal.com/hearts-flowers-hugs-kisses-blog-carnival/
I just love lists like that!
Shai Coggins reply on February 14th, 2008:
iHanna: Thank you. It does look like it’s a lot more complicated than I anticipated. Hopefully, folks will ask questions, if they feel they need to. And, I’ll try to come up with something simpler in the coming weeks. Again, thanks!
toni 02.14.08 at 6:35 pm
I’m off to read iHanna’s chosen link and give it some love. I’ll leave a comment and visit some of the links in the carnival.
I’ve chosen one of my own links as I’d love to learn from others on how they deal with sadness. The link:
http://toni.marikit.net/2008/02/13/how-do-you-deal-with-sadness/
Nenette 02.15.08 at 12:41 am
The blog post I’ve chosen is from a blog by Vanessa Farquarson, a Canadian journalist who is making one eco-friendly change in her life each day for a year. The post is about her finally deciding to do something I don’t think I ever could: forego makeup (Day 342)!
Check it out at:

Off to check out Toni’s!
Jami 02.15.08 at 6:39 am
Ok, I will be all about the link love for Nenette’s chosen entry.
Off to do that now…
Here’s mine: http://bionic-beauty.com/2008/02/10/fitness-interview-yoga-with-emily/
Cheers!

William Lehman 02.17.08 at 12:42 am
Okay, I stumbled Hanna’s link (and her blog) for the link lovin’
For a little change of pace, here’s my link that needs some lovin’ too.
This one took a bit of work, but the end result was pretty cool.
What if Tim Burton had directed the movie “Happy Feet”?

Shai Coggins reply on February 17th, 2008:
Hi, William. Thanks for joining. I hope you meant Jami’s link & blog (commenter before you) too.
William Lehman reply on February 17th, 2008:
did those just now. See, I knew my simple explanation didn’t quite capture it earlier…
Ketutar 02.17.08 at 4:55 am
Send some love to Liz at http://youknitwhattwo.blogspot.com/2008/02/colorblind.html
I’m off to see a video… and leave a comment
Robin Yap 02.18.08 at 7:10 am
Love the new blog format Shai. I have to fix mine along with getting myself setup on StumbleUpon so that I could participate. Have a great day!
Shai Coggins reply on February 19th, 2008:
Thanks, Robin. Yes, do join SU. It’s really worth it!
Nicola 02.19.08 at 3:38 am
Phew! Thank goodness for the extension
I’m off to visit Liz seeing as Robin didn’t leave a URL
Shai Coggins reply on February 19th, 2008:
Thanks, Nicola. Any URL you’d like to share too?
Robin Yap 02.19.08 at 6:16 am
oops… sorry Nicola – not sure what URL I was to give – StumbleUpon?
Shai Coggins reply on February 19th, 2008:
Robin: It’s the URL to any blog post (yours or someone else’s) that you’d like to send some lovin’ to. In exchange, you send some love the link posted by the commenter before you.
Not sure if you did join in, though… So, not sure if I can/should include you as a participant for this task.
If you do join in, leave a URL here and send some love to Nicola…
