There is no way that it’s actually June 1st. I’m not ready to acknowledge that this year is simply zipping by! Better stick to the crazy good conversations happening in our world-famous forums.
PR Pages for Bloggers
Wondering about the necessity of PR? Alison from Mama Wants This discusses her take on the PR page for bloggers: “…I state what products/ services I might be interested in reviewing, and some ‘terms & conditions’ (e.g. I will only review something if given the actual product/ service to try first, I won’t write a review based off a press release).” Is this something you’ve considered for your blog? Do you have any words of wisdom to add?
Join in and tell us what you think is necessary for a blog’s PR page.
Fifty Shades of Grey Movie
The Fifty Shades Of Grey forum is still going strong but, full disclosure: what really caught my eye was Whipped Moo’s speculation about the casting of Ryan Gosling. I’d watch that movie. Heck, I’d watch that infomercial if he were featured. But I digress.
Who will star in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie?
Who Do You Write For on Your Blog?
And finally, over in the Blogging section, Denise from According To Denise asks that clutch (and ever-popular) question: Who Do You Write For? Rach @Life Ever Since realized that this answer can change: “I started writing for my new baby, but then quickly realized I write for myself–as a way to get the thoughts out of my head that swirl around in there. By writing what I’m thinking and feeling and then reading the comments people leave, I realize I’m not alone.” Lovely and so true- but we’d love to hear your answers as well!
There’s always so much going on in the forums- if you haven’t yet checked them out, we’d love to say hi! (Even if you disagree about the whole “Ryan Gosling” thing.)
Happy Friday!

How to make real money blogging!?
I blog for myself on one but the rest I blog to PR. Haven’t gotten any good results. 🙁
I started out writing as a way to cope with my chronic illness. I write for me but I hope my writing starts helping others as well, those with chronic illness or those other busy moms who are looking for a good recipe or book to read! i write to refocus on the good things in my day and hope as I gain more readers, they start doing the same. We could all use more good news and more focus on what we can do instead of what we can’t!
I’d like to put together a PR page. I’m put it on my planner for next week – so I’ll stop by the forum then! 🙂
I need to check out Alison’s blog. I don’t even have a PR page right now but desperately need one as my blog grows. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I need to work on my PR page & I’m definitely to check out Alison’s post. I haven’t read Shades so I don’t know who the cast should be. Like Diane, I write for myself but I want to reach women who share similar interests.
I write for my dedicated readers who continually surprise me their support!
I am working on my PR page and was thinking about this today, thanks for the tips!

I am looking into this right now, Thanks for the helpful tips on the PR page (c:
I need to work on my PR page. It has been awhile since I looked at it.
I don’t even technically have one. Should probably do that, huh?
I know that I write for myself. The bigger question for me is, “Who am I writing to?” That’s (she’s) a bit nebulous. I wonder if other writers have a person in their mind’s eye when they are writing?
