]]> We bloggers hate spam. You know, all those comments that are just ads for gross websites or links to lure you to junk. Ick. Spam is nasty.

But here’s what I’m thinking… 

I want you to spam this blog.

Maybe you are a regular commenter to this blog with a good following of your own…

Or a newbie trying to build an audience…

I want you to drop your link in the comments with a explanation of who you are, what’s on your heart or what’s coming out of your head.

Tell us: What’s your blog about?

I want to add you to my Google Reader.

Ready?

This should be fun…

Go!

]]> June was the last time I did the no-frills blog round up. It’s not that I haven’t been reading your blogs – no, look at my laundry pile, evidence I read too much – I’ve been too lazy to piece the post together. I like doing the round up, I like the feeling of introducing my readers to others. Kind of like a meet and greet social club. I think from now on I’ll do this twice a month, so I don’t feel like I have to do it every week and get overwhelmed.

So from my Google reader to you, I give you my favorite summer content.

Writer-Mama’s back-to-school giveaway. Lots of books for the (mommy) writer.

Kristen of We are THAT family is helping a family who fled their Russian homeland due to their faith in Christ.

Problogger: Is Writing Great Content Enough to build a Successful Blog?

Especially Heather: To teach a child (her thoughts on home schooling – please read!)

Heather Goodman at L’Chaim: Podcast – The Story of Your Life (part 1). You can view the rest at her blog as well, click on the “podcast” tag.
