Blog Language

help a newbie out here! what does all this blog language mean? "social sunday", "blog hop", grow your own blog", "blog button", "grab a button", "sponsor me/sponsors" etc. what does it all mean and how does a new blogger like myself get involved? i am sure there is more blog lingo. i want to participate more! :) i think i understand some things, but others i have no earthly blogging idea...(hahah, that was kind of cute).

how was your sunday? i spent most of the morning watching the inauguration coverage. then did some sunday errands. shopping on sunday is just easier...less people and traffic. back home now, cleaning up the room a corner at a time, made dinner, and sometime before bed, i am sure i will do a little in home walking before i sleep and talk to my love. i do not DARE call him now as all those sports games are on. if you have not checked out this FREE (you know i only tell you all about FREE apps and websites now :-p) Iphone/Android app called VIGGLE you should. FINALLY you can get rewarded for watching tv. anything your heart and eyes desire :). i am about to get 385 points (or more) just for 'checking into" the Ravens vs. Patriots football game. p/s: i am doing other things, like blogging, cleaning, eating, and watching CNN coverage in the other room, while viggle is on and running in the backgroud on my phone in the bedroom :) i and you will still have FULL access to all your phone features. hope the 3-day weekend is going well for all of you!

  1. Im glad your sunday was good. Mines was day. I can help you with some of the lingo. Sponsors are people that sponsor your blog, such as advertisers. In the blog world our sponsors are normally other blogger friends. I have your button on my page, so im your sponsor! lol. Blog hops are when bloggers are able to post the link to their blog along with other bloggers. Then you can view each others blogs and hopefully make some new friends. I was able to find a lot of bloggers with the same interest as mines through the blog hops. Social Sunday is like another blog hop. There's a few questions that everybody that participates are asked to answer. It helps us all get to know each other. I hope i was able to help you with the terms, i might of even confused you a little more. lol. i dont know! but im moving to kings bay, Georgia in June. I know it's 45 mins away from jacksonville, not sure how far from pensacola.

    1. thank you for the quick lesson. no confusion at all NavyWif33. i need to start participating more :) Jacksnville is 5 hours from Pensacola. my love lives in jax, so we both know. you will like Jacksonville, SO much to do there and the beaches are wonderful! kings bay is ok, i have not heard too much about it, but it is small and mostly the base is all they have so you may be in Jacksonville a lot. it is my dream to either move to jax and/or be closer to my love. he wants to leave jax, but i guess that is what happens when you live in your place of birth most of your life right?

    2. This past year has been the first time since we have been together that we can actually say we were together. He normally always has to leave at some point. So i know all about those long distant relationships. Best wishes and much happiness to you and your love!

  3. Did you really get all of those points for watching the game?! Grrr! I always forget about viggle and I watched both games today! You just reminded me to check in.
    You pick up the blog lingo as you go. I used to participate in a lot of "hops" to help "grow my blog", but I've found that I can find other blogs that I'm legitimately interested through the blogs that I'm already following. (:

    1. well, in the end i got 310 points and 5th place in the game so no extra points :( but hey over 300 is not bad. sometimes i forget too, but i have to remind myself to check in. i check into the Today show each morning before i leave for work and get my 245-250 points per day while at the office. yes, i am finding that i am finding more blogs as well through the ones i follow (such as yourself :p) as well.
