She Said What!? Tuesday 10

I'm totally jazzed to be co-hosting this week's Tuesday 10 with Lena from Mom 2 Memphis and Ruby!

Every Tuesday Lena has a fun link-up - super simple - 10 of something - anything really that you want, or you can go along with her theme of the week, your choice!

This week, as co-host - I got to choose the theme - 

and I thought it would be great to see a showcase of favorite blog posts -
could be blog posts others have written -
or a collection of your own!

Either way - I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

10 of My Favorite (self-authored) Blog Posts:

1.  Marriage: The "For Worse" Times

2.  Mole Chile & Jalapeno Cornbread Recipe

3. Ginger Bread Man & Zion Speaking

4. Solitude

5. Pastels

6. From Winter to Spring

7. Mothering A Daughter

Just Do It Klout: Why You Should!

Are you confused about Klout?  Does it make you excited and terrified at the same time?  It should! Not really sure if it is accurate? Afraid of Klout assigning a number to you?  Well, guess what - even if you aren't signed up for Klout, chances are you already have a number by your name.  And as Klout continues to develop their social influence measurin' algorithm - it is going to be a contributing factor for how others evaluate your true influence!  Soon the days of just viewing numbers - (how many followers on any given media) will be gone - and all that will be left is the big word for your true influence - "ENGAGEMENT!"

Klout is the strongest measurer of engagement to date - and people are already experiencing perks of higher scores on Klout.  I read this article recently and it began to shift my perspective on the importance of being able to measure engagement across multiple platforms.  I also realized that beyond Klout's hit or miss perks - there are actually establishments: hotels, restaurants, airlines - etc. willing to throw in perks to people of influence.  We've all read from time to time how someone with a massive following has been wronged by a brand and until they actually used their influence to grab their attention they were ignored - but not afterwards - no - brands are learning (sometimes the hard way) that online influence is something to be reckoned with.

Why don't you go ahead and get signed up today!  And then come back and get a boost in your score immediately:

Today Angela is hosting her first ever link up - Kickin' it on Klout - K+ Blog Hop! 

What is Klout? It's a way of measuring your 'influence' online by measuring social media to see how much you engage others.... for more on metrics and whatnot, click here. I'm super excited to have some fantastic co-hosts here with me.

Oh Hai Derr Blogworking Wednesday

Last month was a massive success with Blogworking Wednesday! 

It was so exciting to see 110 blogs that linked up!

 The giveaway was a massive success too! 

For now, this blog hop will remain a monthly blog hop, 

but it may go biweekly or even weekly in the future. 

A little history of the blog hop from Paige:

"When I first started blogging, my favorite thing was finding new blogs that I just loved and girls that I connected with! So, the idea of "blogworking" which plays on the word "networking" came into play. Whenever my husband asked what I was doing when I was looking for new blogs, I'd tell him I was blog-working. Soon after, the idea of a blog hop popped into mind and you have what you see today."

These lovely ladies are the cohosts of the blog hop, so please go check out their blogs and follow them! Paige @ Eloping Stethoscope (Permanent Host) Jazmine @ Life as a Young Mom (Permanent Host) Jessica @ Before the I Do's (Guest Host) Kendra @ Adventures of Brad and Kendra (Guest Host) Courtney @ Baxtron{Life} (Guest Host) Niki @ Gumdrops and Gloss (Guest Host) Grace @ Betwixxt (Guest Host) The rules are simple.  1. Add your homepage link to the link up list 2. Be nice and spread the word! Grab the button and post it somewhere! 3. Find and follow at least two other blogs.  4. Show some love to the hosts and follow them too!
