Happy Valentine’s Day! The party is in the house. The tunes are cranked and the doorbell is ringing. It’s time for another Use Me and Abuse Me Day!
It is time to spread the LOVE! Who knows what tomorrow will bring with super winter storms and asteroid/meteors raining down from the sky. Here’s your chance to mingle and make some new friends!
I have some new blogger friends who are dying to meet you! Just bring a link to one of your posts and leave it in the comment section along with a short hook to entice them. Then start mingling/clicking on the guest’s links! 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 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 just your blog URL. It’s the difference between being welcomed at the door and opening it up to find no one home, so you have to peek into their bedrooms while shouting, “Hello???”
Remember that the party always becomes a RAGER, so if you want to stop back in the next day or two, there will be more bloggers to check out!
The food is catered from the finest restaurants in Boulder. The barista is already concocting cappuccinos and the bar is open.
To get you into the Valentine spirit, you gotta stop by and say hello to Lola! Leaping for Love, Lust, and Lola for Valentine’s Day
Thanks to all of you for your blog love. I hope you stop by again before the next day of abuse!
Please consider following my blog. It’s always a Wild Ride!
Tweet me! @susielindau
Spread the word. The more the merrier.
It’s time to mingle!
Susie Lindau's Wild Ride 
Honestly, I’ll let you know that @JennyHansenCA is having a Pimp and Promote Day, too. So now that I’ve done the yenta thing, I’ll let you talk amongst yourselves. She’s at MORE COWBELL.
As for me, I’m just promoting today. Love to you and Jenny!
