Hello lovelies!
So I didn’t mean to take a break from the Bloggie Bestie posts on Thursdays…
It just sort of happened.
But that’s ok, it makes room for other fun posts like (what I’m hoping) will be a fun post today. That said, I’d like to get the Bloggie Bestie posts started once again, so if you’re interested in blog swapping with us here at Truly Lovely we would be thrilled to have you!
Kayli is also open to blog swapping now in her more involved roll taken on for 2012, so if you’d like to blog swap with Kayli, or myself, please shoot us an email!
Now, I know several people have been making blog goals for 2012, including us here at Truly Lovely.
Often one of those goals is creating a better blog presence
(i.e. layout, background, color scheme, post quality, etc).
The only way to know how you’re doing already is to critique your blog.
A better way to go about that is to have someone else critique your blog.
Sure you can ask a close blogging friend, but will they be honest?
Surely, but maybe not completely.
Enter in my idea! Let’s do a blog critique party!
If you’re interested in having your blog critiqued by another blogger, comment below.
{Please make sure your email is connected to your account or that you leave your email address in your comment!}
I’ll randomly assign each person who links up, two other blogs to critique.
With that you’ll receive two critiques of your own blog!

To be fair and so that everyone is on the same page, I ask that while critiquing you follow the
I’ve already gone through it once with a close blogging friend and feel like it worked well… You can copy the questions into an email and send your answers over to your critique partners. Or you can do a write up of your answers and send over in an email. Either way, let them know your honest, but FAIR opinion of their blog. Cool???
You’ll have until Monday to comment. I’ll make the partner matches and let everyone know who they will be critiquing in an email on Tuesday afternoon. From there, I ask that you have your blog critique done and sent to your two partners before the end of next week. Yes??
{*By commenting below you agree to those terms.}
Hopefully this will help us get a feel for how our blogs are perceived by others and an idea of a few things to work on for the New Year!
At the very least hopefully you can find a few new blogging buddies in your critique partners!
We’ll be joining in as well, so to whoever we get matched with… be kind.
If you have any questions, either comment with those below or shoot us an email.
