Last year I happily participated in the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5MinutesforMom.com.  Basically, it’s a bunch of bloggers opening their doors to other bloggers and tempting them to become new subscribers and bloggie friends through giveaways.  Okay, that’s my version.  Either way, it’s fun for all involved.

Last year over 1500 participated.  If you’re looking to meet new blogging friends, promote your blog or win some cool prizes you might want to consider it.  It typically runs for a week and beyond a “welcome to my party” introduction kind of post, you don’t even need to worry about feeling obligated to post daily.  Just go ahead and be your typical, friendly, chatty, bloggie self. You know, the person we all know and love 😉

This year it’s going to be held March 20th through March 27th.  This of course gives you plenty of time to decide if you’re up for participating and partying with some fellow bloggers.  It was quite a bit of fun last year, so just just might want to give it a whirl.

And if you’re talented in a graphic artist sort of way, you might want to try and design their new banner.  You never know, it could be your design that gets chosen.

As for me, I know I won’t be submitting and banner options, but I will be tossing in a prize or two.  Just need to see what I have or what I could get to give.
