Blog Swap_August

Round one went well, so I'm hosting again!

Background
I am a novice / amateur blogger. I've started and stopped so many blogs because I find it extremely difficult to build an audience and gain feedback. *Sticking to it probably helps with that, but I digress . . .

I know for certain that I am not the only one on swap-bot with a blog, new or old. For this swap, we will connect with our fellow bloggers (or like me - attempting bloggers).

What to do
-You will have 2 partners for this first round - *I will see how many people are interested before I offer to host it consistently.

-When partners are assigned, you will go to your (sends to) partner's blog, follow their blog, and leave an insightful comment on at least two entries. ^^ Comments should be well thought out and / or insightful. Don't just slap down an "I like this" or "I agree." Try to write feedback / commentary that you'd like to see on your own blog. Be sure to leave your swap bot ID / swap name with your comments

-Feel free to peruse / follow / comment on other participants' blogs, not only the people you're assigned to

-Even though this is an electronic swap, prompt and accurate rating is still expected!

Requirements
-Post the link / web address to your blog in the comments section below

-You must have at least 5 entries in your blog already (I will be checking all blogs)

-Must have no lower than a 4.98 rating

-No recent 1s or 3s. (recent being within the last 6 months).

-Note: unresolved 1s or 3s older than 6 months may also be a disqualifier if there’s no clear comment / response, to the rating, from you

-If you have late swaps on your dash, you will be banned.

-This swap is open internationally, but blogs must be in English (again, I will be checking all blogs)

-If this is your second round and you happen to already be following your partner, just do the commenting part :)
