I don’t know if the linky market out there is saturated yet…. But it’s going to be one link-up party closer to it next week!
I’m dipping my toe in the link up world with a new weekly blog share, #coolmumclub.
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, am a bit clueless, but what the hell…LETS DO THIS!
The new link will open on Thursdays and run through till Sunday, and will launch next Thursday morning 01 October 2015.
Worried you’re not a cool mum? Dont worry, so was I, but I’ve been doing some thinking and I have, in my wisdom, decided we are all pretty damn cool. It’s not all about Ray bans and leather jackets…cool mums review amazing stuff, slog their guts out for their kids, fight for worthy causes, like lovely things, do amazing stuff day in day out, do mundane stuff day in day out, write funny shits and giggles for the rest of us to laugh at, pine back to the people we once were, oh, and cool mums Blog.
Dads, we know you rock too, and you are most welcome. It’s just ‘cool mum and dads club’ didn’t pack as much swag…
The first rule of #coolmumclub is, there are no rules.
There’s a badge, it’d look pretty spesh on the end of your blogpost. I’d encourage you to Share some blog love people…we all know the currency of blogging is comments, so pay your way. Share the ones you really dig. If you tweet me a #coolmumclub pointer to @mummuddlingthru I will of course retweet you as best as my crazy children permit. But, I’m not the blog police…use your lovely #pblogger conscience and do what you can, I totally know what it’s like when you have one hand and three minutes.
I am certain there will be bumps and hiccups along the way, but the only way to learn, is to dive straight in right?
I hope to see some of you familiar blog faces there.
Watch this space.
x Mum Muddling Through the set up of a Linky
Hoping this isn’t a very public fail!
PS Already discovered WordPress doesn’t allow embedded galleries so for now the link will be via an external link. Seasoned Linkers, any techie tips?
The Anxious Dragon September 23, 2015
Alas Im not a mum. Well not an active mum any more, so wont qualify for this one, but I hope it all goes fabulously well Xx
mummuddlingthrough September 24, 2015
I disagree! You are a mum who has lived and learnt, bearing the war wounds of motherhood, with tattoo tales to tell. You are definitely a #coolmum and I would live to see you there…really, anything goes, it’s just a fun name x
The Anxious Dragon September 24, 2015
Thank you, I will be there then Xx
anothermuminlondon September 24, 2015
I’ll be there! If you need any cool-mum help give me a shout! x
mummuddlingthrough September 24, 2015
Thanks chick, will bear that in mind! I’m a bit clueless but figure only one way to learn. I’ll blag it 😉 x
Natalie September 24, 2015
Love this blog!
mummuddlingthrough September 24, 2015
Nice one 😉 thank you so much! X MMT
Julie S. September 24, 2015
That’s a fun linky party name. So I take it you’re on WordPress.com (not self-hosted)? If so, then yes, no script code embedding allowed so you’ll have to use a button to link the code in a new window. Also, I suggest making that badge quite a bit smaller 😉
mummuddlingthrough September 24, 2015
Thanks Hun! Hats not the badge, just an image of how it looks. I’ll shrink it down in the post! X MMT
motherhoodtherealdeal September 24, 2015

motherhoodtherealdeal September 26, 2015

nightwisprav3n September 24, 2015
I also grabbed both of your badges and put them on my blog. You’ll do great!
theloveofacaptain September 24, 2015
Loving this! Well done and good luck, I’m sure it’ll be a great success. Catch you on Thursday for some new linkup fun x
natasham September 24, 2015
Congratulations! Love the badge. I’ll pop by next week x
mummuddlingthrough September 25, 2015

Absolutely Prabulous September 24, 2015
You have such a way with words. Just love the way you’ve written this. Love your balls just jumping in. I’ve been dithering for ages lol. Wishing you lots of luck and blogger love.
mummuddlingthrough September 26, 2015
Maybe I should be dithering a bit more too! I’m a bit of a doer, as you can guess. I thought about starting in October and doing a Thursday so when I saw the first was a Thursday I figured it was a sign! Thanks for your lovely comments and support Prabs, so amazed anyone reads, let alone getting such praise from one of my fave bloggers. ❤️ x MMT
Absolutely Prabulous September 24, 2015
Oh and just saw it again at #momsterlink so popping back again x
Mama September 25, 2015
It takes me a few weeks….OK months to remember new linkies but if you could give me a prod when you’re live I’ll be theeeeerrrreeee! Good luck!
PS. Obvs after my escapades this week I am a bonefide linky expert 😉 As far as I could see the only way to have the linky thumbnails on your post is to not be hosted by wordpress.com (but I might be wrong). I also had MAJOR problems with the grab badge code so if you figure that out please share the secret xxx
mummuddlingthrough September 25, 2015
Luckily my husband ‘does computers’ so I’ll have some IT support as such! We already muddled our way through badges, they’re on the side of my blog. I know, I can’t quite believe it myself. Pulling off doing IT stuff (not just fixing it by turning it off and on again either) 🙂 thanks lovely see you for that prod next week! X
Mama September 25, 2015
My wife ‘does computers’ too but I think she prefers to watch me sweat. Switiching it on and off and having it work is my move too. If that fails I have problems.
mummuddlingthrough September 26, 2015
She might be on to something… The sense of achievement when you get there on your own is probably very satisfying 😉 I am really hoping now I’ve created such a buzz about my Linky, I don’t have an epic public techie fail lol! X
Mama September 26, 2015
haha, have someone with experience ready to help on twitter (ie:not me 🙂 )
Honest Mum September 25, 2015
Fab linky, yay for cool mums xx
mummuddlingthrough September 25, 2015
Thank you Vicki! Wish me luck, I’m gonna need it! X
