So often, we Bloggers feature our
Top Five Likes…
Our Top Five Dislikes…
Our Top Five Recipes…
Our Top Five Colors…
Well, you get the idea.
It recently occurred to me that
writing about the Top Five of Anything
was useless if you didn’t have
faithful Readers and Followers.
Also, it has come to my attention
that I have been receiving a majority
of my blog “traffic” from the same
few Blogs…
So you know what?
This is the official
The Everyday Home “Top Five Shout Out!”
I want to share with you my
Top Five Commenters…
Now please don’t get your feelings hurt if
you don’t see your name here and you
leave comments, too. 🙂
These are long time followers who
have “shared the love” for quite a while on
a regular basis. I really love you all. 🙂
In no certain order:
1) Nana Diana
The Nana Diana Blog
Diana has been one of my followers and commenters on a regular basis for a while.
In fact, if I didn’t see her comment
on one of my posts, I would contact her
to see if she was ok. 🙂
2) Marty
A Stroll Thru Life Blog
Many of us know sweet Marty.
If you don’t know her, you are indeed missing
out on one fantastic lady and a great blog, too.
3) Sonny
155 Dream Lane Blog
I have known Sonny for several
years, long before blogging was even
heard of. We are HGTV Message
Board pals. How’s that for
old school? 🙂
4) Fabby
Fabby’s Living Blog
Fabby is another very sweet lady.
Usually one of the first to leave a
comment on my post. Thanks Fabby!
5) Martina
Northern Nesting Blog
Martina is another follower who is always
there with a sweet comment.
I love that Blogging allows someone with a
Blog called “Northern Nesting” to become
bloggy friends with someone from the South!
🙂
Please make sure you visit these sweet ladies
and their amazing blogs. I know you will love
discovering some new bloggy friends, too.
And now, I would like to recognize
the TOP FIVE BLOGS which send me the
most traffic…
1) Kim at Southern Savvy Style
I “officially” met Kim at Haven, and I love
her to death. I also admire her style and her
dedication to her Blogging.
Kim hosts the weekly Linky Party
“Wow Me Wednesday!”
2) Kristen at Kristen’s Creations:
This is one beautiful and talented
lady. Her floral arranging skills are
like none I have ever seen. She also hosts
the Linky Party “Kristen’s Creations.”
3) Marty at A Stroll Thru Life
I get double-duty out of this dear friend.
Not only is she a top commenter, but
she is also a top referring site.
Marty is the wonderful host of
“Tabletop Tuesdays”
4) Susan at Between Naps on the Porch
This is another sweet, Southern lady whom
I had the pleasure of meeting at Haven
and quickly became fast friends.
Susan is the busy Blogger who hosts
“Met Monday” and “Tablescape Thursday.”
5) Mary at Boggieboard Cottage
I love to participate in Mary’s
“Masterpiece Monday” Linky Party. I get a great bit of traffic from her site. Thanks Mary!
Thank you ladies for hosting such great blogs
and Linky Parties – and for sending me
over so much traffic, too.
Do you know your Top Five Commenters
and Referring Blogs?
Send them a little note to say thanks.
After all, we’re all in this together aren’t we?
Speaking of Linky Party’s –
I have another one to announce.

Southern Bloggers Conference in Raleigh

Have you bought a ticket?
Do you plan on buying a ticket?
Are you donating prizes, buying an
ad in the Booklet – or maybe you

If so, tell us why you are going or why you
want to go, what you hope to accomplish,
who you want to meet –

to be one of our giveaway donors.
Anyone who posts on the SBC Linky Party
qualifies for this giveaway compliments

Hi Barb,
I don’t even know how to get this information! That’s why I hang with smart women like you!
I’m still trying to see how I can be in two places at once and make the conference! I want to get http://www.TheBlogSisters.com involved in some way. Do you know how many attendees you’re expecting, so I can give a gift of some kind some thought?
By the way, are you a “free woman” yet? Sold your company?
Thanks! I hope you have a blessed day!,
