Keepin' the Train Chuggin' Along

So, I've been invited to participate in this blogtrain! And so are you! This is what you need to do:

"~Start copying here~"and copy all the things listed without removing the links (Of course, the train would be no use without the links).
Move all the sites labeled "Enjoyable Finds" to the list labeled "Oldies". (But goodies, I'm sure)
Add 5 sites that you want to include in the train under "Enjoyable Finds" and make their "Visit My Site" link like this:
http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect? and then add the url of a blog of your choice. This is an example:
http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?momimhungry.blogspot.com. Then invite them to join the train.
Visit all the listed sites using the "Visit My Site" link.
Let me know if you have decided to join in the fun!

Ok - so I must be a total dork. I still don't get how to do this...and maybe I am being silly, but what is the purpose?

Micalanne said...

I copied Dawnae's invitation from her blogpost about the train, almost word for word, through the invitation part of the post; substituting my blog address in the place where she has her address in the invitation.

Then, you type, starting with http, the complete address of your friends blogs under the "Finds" category.

I have yet to type in the "oldies" category...

One purpose is to share "new-found" blogs that you enjoy visiting with the people who usually visit your blog. Another purpose could be for networking (to find people interested in the same things as you), or marketing (to advertise blogs created for business purposes - like Dawnae's art blog).

I put your blog in my list of "finds". (I hope that's okay!) So, anyone visiting my blog is invited by me to visit your blog.

I was actually able to find a blog created by a nurse of nephrology; which is great because my dad is suffering from a major reduction in kidney function and she will be a great person to ask about diet, dialysis, medications, etc.

Since I don't have "oldies" typed on my post, go to Dawnae's and check out some of the "oldie" blogs from her list. You might find some fun blogs that talk about some things you are interested in...like understanding the dreams of a teenage boy generated by sleeping with an oven mitt! :)

Good Luck! Let me know what happens...

okay you should not have to type in anything really....you should be able to copy and paste....does that help???? The purpose is just to get more traffic through your site. Any other questions??? (Janet you don't have to do it...I put your site on my list because I thought other people out there would find it helpful and entertaining...)

How do you cut and paste?

Anonymous said...

Oh please, you did not just ask how to cute and paste did you?

Micalanne said...

Why, yes, my technological wizard sister, I did ask how she cuts and pastes because I can't figure it out on my screen. May I simply remind you that in my profile I confessed to my technological sufferings and that you, my sister, are the one who would help me ease the pain?! :)

Dawnae - getting more traffic through your site - that is exactly what I meant to say! I guess 11:45 p.m. is not a good time for me to be posting, is it! :)
