    I'm looking to trade blog buttons with other homeschooling bloggers. One to trade exposure for our blogs and two, so I can find new homeschool blogs to follow.

    You can see my blog button on the upper right corner of my sidebar.

    Wanna trade?

    Sonita, I already have yours. lol

    I used http://www.picnik.com and just uploaded a background (a pic of some artwork I did), cropped to 150 x 150 or 125 x 125 size and then went into 'create' to add borders, wording, etc...

    Shelby, good job! I added you. You can grab my button on the right sidebar of my blog. Thanks for the swap! I assumed you were making one to swap, right? lol

    I know it is not a blog but if you submit a listing at our directory (alabamahomeschoolexpo.com/directory/) I will get you listed! We also have buttons on our homepage that you can link back if you'd like :)

    I just recently joined the TakingTimeForMommy team. We'll trade with you ladies, too! Also, if you're looking to do a guest blog post for more exposure to your blog, let me know! :)

    Atlantahs: Where can I find information on linking back to you?

    I think I linked back to everyone else that had linking information. If I missed you, or you didn't have a way to link up yet, just let me know to link to you! Oh, and let me know where we can find the Taking Time for Mommy button on your site too. :D

    Check here for your links: Taking Time for Mommy: Fun Reads

    mandiana,

    You can find the button on our main page (alabamahomeschoolexpo.com). It is on the right sidebar about half way down. Thanks! Did you add your blog to our directory?

    For some reason this post fell off my radar all weekend. Reviving! lol

    I will get to adding you all to my blog in the next day. I'll think on the article writing. I've been working on a few. I' also working on a newsletter. used to write monthly ones when I had a homeschool website. Thinking on reviving them.

    There are so many places online that can help with blog building, I don't know where to point you directly. I also don't know which blog you have (ie: blogger, wordpress, something else...) but when searching for help, google something like 'set up a simple blogger blog' or 'wordpress blog help' something like that.

    Holler if you need HTML help. I can do that.

    AtlantaHS, I have added your Expo's blog button, can you add mine too!
    Mandiana, I've added Time for Mommy's blog button, can you add mine?

    NorthernMomma & KrisRV, when you get buttons completed, just come post here and I'll trade buttons with you as well.

    Anyone else want to trade?
