Blog Staycation
Have you ever been as excited as a kid on Christmas morning about something? That’s basically how I feel about this Blog Staycation! I officially started blogging this past winter and while I absolutely love it, I feel like there are always about a hundred things I want to do for the blog. Add a page. Rearrange my sidebar. Update some of the graphics. Connect with new bloggers. Comment on other blogs. Update my social media profiles. The list goes on and on.
Then one day I was talking with a few other bloggers (because that’s one of the best parts of blogging…building community) and we had an idea! What if we took a few days to give ourselves a blogging staycation?!?
Here are the important details that you need to know!
Who Can Join? ANY bloggers…doesn’t matter where you live or what kind of blog you have!
When Is It? The Blog Staycation will launch with a Twitter party on August 21 at 5pm PST. Then the fun continues all weekend long and here’s the great thing…you can do as much or as little as you want!
What Will Happen? We’ll kick the party off with a Twitter chat and then from there you can decide how you want to participate. You can stay in your house all weekend and just work to your hearts content on your blog. You can join in a few Facebook chats over the week to get support and ideas for some of the things on your to do list. You can choose to just set aside one hour a day during the weekend and work on your blog. Do what works best for YOU!
Anything Else? We can’t tell you everything, because there needs to be a few surprises!
I Have a Few Questions…We’d love to answer those for you! Comment below or email Julie at girlonthemoveblog01{at}gmail{dot}com
We’d love to have you share about this with your blogging friends, and you can use #blogstaycation on social media when you share this post!
Are you convinced you need to join us for this awesome time? Then sign up HERE!
We can’t wait to go on a blog staycation with YOU!

Hello!
What a great idea! How creative and original. I just made a ton of changes to my blog but I would like to join just to get some honest feedback from other bloggers. Can I do that?
Have a great weekend.

This is a great idea! I really need to make some significant changes to my blog — most notably the design which is not my forte — even though it’s been up since 2012 (I really started making an effort this year). Some day I’m going to participate.

You should join us this month even if it’s only for an hour or two to get some ideas and maybe make a small change or two 🙂

I want to participate but I am heading out of town on the 24th. So I may not be very active on the 24th and 25th. Is that okay? Thanks, Tina

LOVE THIS IDEA! I am so happy I stumbled across your website. I am actually doing my own staycation right now. I promised myself a slow consulting week would be focused on ramping up my web presence and tackling my blog/website to do list.
I am booking you in the calendar now to make sure I remember to hop on Twitter and Chat with you in a few weeks. Great idea!
