For those who have an active Blythe blog, this will surely interest you! What I want to do is build up a directory of sorts right here on BlytheLife.com

Links will be organized in alphabetical order and will be showcased over on the Links page right here on BlytheLife.com and will remain there unless your site disappears or stops being updated for a long period of time (long period of time = 6 months or more).

All types of Blythe blogs will be allowed on the directory list – I don’t care if you have your own domain name, you’re hosted on WordPress or Blogspot. All I care about is if you have a dolly-related blog (if you blog about Blythe only, that’s great – if you blog about Blythe + other topics, that’s okay too as long as Blythe is a major blog topic!). Blogs where you write from a doll’s point of view, showcasing your crafty Blythe projects, sewing for Blythe and your other dolls, even if you blog about selling items that you make!

So all you need to do is comment below saying that you want to be listed and remember to include the URL to your blog. It’s really simple, isn’t it? Just comment and get some exposure for your blog and get some link love to boost your readership and rankings on the internet! Spreading link love is free and just takes a little bit of time.

If you want to return the favour, you can have a link on your blogroll/list of links going back to BlytheLife.com (http://blythelife.com) or use the handy dandy awesome button to share some link love:

We are teaming up with Michelle @ BlytheLife.com every month for a featured interview with the BPC winner. Check back here at the blog for a screen cap and direct link to each interview. Hope you are as excited as we are!

– Wendy (simplyminty), December 30th 2010

As announced on the BlythePhotoChallenge.com blog, I am pairing up with the trio who run BPC.com and all those great monthly challenges! You might remember that I had interviewed Wendy and Jenn back in August 2010. Lauren has since joined the Powers That Be over at BPC.com and I think all 3 ladies are fantastic! But getting back on track now…

Starting, well, now, I will be doing mini-interviews with the winners of the monthly photo challenges from Blythe Photo Challenge. Interviews will be around 5-7 questions long and will showcase the winning photograph and any other work that the winner wants to share with everyone as well.

It seems great, right? You win the Blythe Photo Challenge, you become a featured interviewee here on BlytheLife.com. Easy peasy, all you need to do is be sure to enter the Blythe Photo Challenge every month and you get a whole bunch of exposure both here and on Blythe Photo Challenge.

This question has been asked more than once in more than one type of wording, so I figured I should better address it.

The answer, in short, is yes. If you’ve won a giveaway previously, you can enter a current on-going giveaway. Having won a giveaway does not decrease your chances of winning again (it also doesn’t increase it), as winners are chosen randomly by an unbiased and random internet website.

Some giveaways may have more restrictions than others (i.e. only people with USA or Canadian residency may enter), but other than that, everyone is free to enter as many contests as they wish – provided you only use one (1) valid email address.

Anyone caught using multiple email addresses for a contest to get more entries will be disqualified without wait for an explanation and will be further disqualified from future contests held on the BlytheLife.com website. So don’t cheat!

Did you know that at the time of writing that since July 1, 2010 there has been:

• 1 layout,
• 7 giveaways,
• 9 interviews,
• 66 posts,
• 542 comments,
• 40,000+ hits per month,
• An incredible amount of fun!

I just wanted to share and to thank everyone for having visited, commented, linked back, did an interview or a giveaway with me and everything. I’m looking forward to what I have planned for December, aren’t you? *hinthint*

Do you like reading fun and creative articles on BlytheLife.com? I’m looking for guest authors who want to write for BlytheLife.com!

What I’m looking for is…

• Tutorials (customizing, crafting, photography, etc.)
• Stories of how you got into the Blythe hobby
• Spotlight your favourite customizer or dolly crafter
• Reviews on products used for customizing or crafting
• Anything at all!

Do you want to share how you first discovered Blythe? Perhaps you had a customization mishap that’s really funny that you want to share? I’m looking for any and all stories to be shared on BlytheLife.com. If you’re a customizer, maybe you’d like to do a small tutorial on how to do something to make dolls even prettier than they already are or you have warnings (or praises!) for a type of paint or glue that you happened to discover locally (or online).

All you need to do is be able to write! Got an idea? Great! Just run it past me and see if I want to use it on the blog and all you need to do is write and I’ll take care of the rest after you send it to me.

BlytheLife.com always gives full credit to all guest authors for their written work and photography! Give back to BlytheLife.com and get a link back to your Etsy shop, Artfire shop, blog or other website.
