Fabulous Mom Blogs & A Swanky New Award

Posted by · Leave a Comment

Why thank you darling… I’m taking a break from review blogging today to display a shiny new award Cool Baby received this week. Thanks to Life Starring Ellie & Eve, a new blog friend I was lucky enough to connect with recently, I’m feeling simply fabulous today. As with all blog awards, this one comes with a to do list which happens to be a list of five addictions. So here goes: blogging, running, thinking, reality television and Diet Pepsi. I can’t stop doing any of those which is why I consider each an addiction. And the other “Your Blog is Fabulous!” stipulation? Give to five other fabulous blogs. Of course, if you really love another blog you should also give them Blog Popz which will enter you to win grand prizes like a $250.oo Kids Coats gift certificate and nearly $150.00 in Zutano baby clothes! I’m going to break the rules just a bit and give to the four fabulous blogs who helped me launched Popz and run the Blog Popz Candy Stores: The Not-So-Blog, Ohana Mama, Suzy Q Homemaker and From Dates to Diapers. CBK readers…what do you think makes a blog fabulous?

Cool Tip: Giving awards is a great way to network with fellow bloggers and get to know new ones. And if you’re not a blogger, it’s fun to check out the rewarded blogs for great new ideas and contests!

“Buying” Popz

1. How exactly do I get a pop to give to other bloggers?
Go to the candy store of the pop you want to purchase and follow the directions on each site.

2. What do I “get” when I “buy” a pop?
Once you follow the directions on the you can then take the pop widget to use anywhere you’d like by clicking “Share” in the lower right corner of the widget to obtain the HTML or embed the widget directly into your blog.

3. Why do I have to leave a comment if I’m also registering my pop?
Commenting on each blog ensures candy store owners you’ve been to their site to obtain the pop and is part of the required “purchasing” process. Registration, on the other hand, is optional.

4. How many popz can I obtain?
Each site offers five methods for getting popz. Once you complete all six steps you can take and give out an unlimited number of popz.

Giving Popz

1. Once I obtain the widget, how do I give to it a fellow blogger?
That’s up to you! You can email them a congratulations note, announce it on your site in a post…whatever works for your situation.


2. What is the easiest way to send the pop?
When you click “Share” on the lower right corner of the pop widget, you are taken to a link with the HTML code and more. Easiest way to send the pop is copy that direct link an email it your recipient.

3. How many popz can I give?
You can give as you’d like, but be sure to follow the directions in each candy store before you take an unlimited number of popz.

Receiving Popz

1. If someone gives me a pop what do I do?
That’s up to you! You can do display your pop, blog about your blog, or register your pop if you want to be eligible to win prizes or all of the above.


Complete the Blog Popz Giver Form if you gave a pop.

Complete the Blog Popz Receiver Form if you received a pop.


2. If I am given a pop but not the code, can I take it from the store without commenting?
Sure. Typically a pop sender will pass along the direct link or HTML code, but if they do not you are more than welcome to take it from the candy store.

Prizes

1. Why do I have to register my pop to win?
Registering you pop is essential to the process so the Blog Popz owners know how many popz each blog is receiving as well as who is obtaining the most popz.

2. How do you determine who wins the prizes?

The “Biggest Poppers” who have obtained the most popz to give will receive first choice. Then, the “Most Popped” in each category will each choose the remaining prizes. For instance, if Smart Baby Kid received 45 “Cute” pops and Ask Baby Kid received 40 “Favorite” pops, Smart baby Kid would have first choice.

Other Questions

1. How many editions of Blog Popz will there be?
Blog Popz will continue as long as you keep popping! Once the Spring Fling ends on April 24, 2009, the next edition for the Spring will begin.

2. What if I still have a Blog Popz question?
If you still have a question after browsing through the FAQ list and original Popz post, feel free to contact me directly or @ me a question on Twitter, and I’d be happy to help out.
