It’s another Use Me and Abuse Me Day here at the Wild Ride. This is your chance to mingle and “pick up” some new subscribers. It’s been a long winter here in Colorado and a virtual party is just what we need to thaw out.
I have some new blogger friends who would love to meet you. Bring ONE link from one of your posts and leave it in the comment section along with a short hook to entice the party-goers. Then start clicking links mingling with the guests! Say, “Hello! Susie sent me.” Hang out at their place for a while. Check out their digs. Subscribe to a few of your new friends. Maybe they will subscribe to your blog!
The more links you click, the better the results.
Only post ONE link from your blog in my comment section or you’ll end up in my spam filter. The spammers have been slipping past the bouncer lately. Stinkers!
It is better to bring a link to a specific post than your blog URL. It’s the difference between being welcomed at the door with a hug and opening it up to find no one home. No one feels comfortable peeking into stranger’s bedrooms while shouting, “Hello? Is anybody home?”
This party always becomes a RAGER, so if you want to stop back in a day or two, there will be more bloggers to check out.
Remember your manners. You wouldn’t go to a party, fill your doggy bag and leave, so make sure to read some posts if you are going to leave yours.
The food is catered from the finest restaurants in Boulder. The barista is already concocting cappuccinos, the bar is open, and the DJ is spinning.
The more YOU click on links, the more fun you’ll have!
Have fun and don’t forget to dance. It’s a great way to warm up. OooooO! OooooO!

I may have missed the deadline because I just saw the notification in my box this morning, so I am going to jump in now. This post of mine was published on the wonderful Your Life is a Trip blog on April 9. This is my first professionally edited post and I am very proud of how it turned out. I hope you all will enjoy “An American Male on the Make in Italy” http://www.yourlifeisatrip.com/home/an-american-male-on-the-make-in-italy.html

I’m late as always….
I’m fairly new to this, writing about life after 40, sometimes serious, sometimes not. This is one that definitely falls into the non serious category:

Oops… late for the party! Here’s my contribution from a Trifecta Writing Challenge… I chose this not so much for the writing, but for the subject matter that inspired the story. I know there might be a few ‘dog lovers’ here, so here it is… be sure to visit my friend’s website…

Ahem! (*stands up*) My name is Jackie Edwards, and I am a lurker, it’s been six weeks since my last post.
But, I am going to reform, honest I am. I wrote a post today, and I will keep up with my blog more often.
Joking aside, I love reading your blog, you have have such a nice chatty way of writing, I feel as if I know you personally, even though I live ‘across the pond’, and we have never met.
So, less lurking and more interaction! these are my new ‘words to live by’
