December 21st 2012

Invitations
OK. Invitation graphics for the blog celebration that will end all blog celebrations are here. Please copy – if you so desire – and add anywhere on your blog/site to advertise the party of your choice that is taking place here on December 21st (If you can add a link from the image to my site, all the better, but not to worry if you can’t):

What to do
There are various ways to join in:

Pop along to the party here on 21st December and comment away; say hi to those bloggers you may not know; visit their blogs etc.

Write a post on your blog that is based on one or more of the special themes that I will be mentioning in the days leading up to December 21st, and add a link to your post in the comments of the party post. A bit like a daily blogging challenge, but maybe not as often!

Bring along a friend or two. Recommend a blog (or two or three!) you follow, again in the comments of the party post, making sure you gush with reasons why we should all visit their blog… don’t forget, if it is the end of the world, we’ll need to get our skates on to visit them all, so sell them well!

Take a tour of my Aqua Mansion, the mansion of the mind! Find a room, any room, and let us know how you get on there! There are hundreds, so you’ll be spoiled for choice!

Bring along some jokes – cartoons – entertain other visitors. Yes, I know this is my blog, and I should really be doing those things, but I’ll be hosting the party in some room or other. I’ll be adding things as well, so it’s not all work on your behalf! Besides, it’s meant to be fun.

Link to a couple of your own favourite posts – remember, this party is all about promotion! Or, add teasers to your new book if you’re writing one. Promote, promote, promote!

Virtual drinks and nibbles will be available throughout the day, but if you require real ones you’ll have to supply them for yourself. Sorry about that, but I haven’t been able to invent a device to transfer anything through the blogosphere as yet. I am working on it, but it’s a bit more trickier than it first seems!

Importantly, and hopefully, have fun on the day…

I’ll be adding one or two more reminders over the next few weeks, plus the little blogging prompts. My normal blogging service will resume in due course!
