Happy Holidays

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season. Happy Hanukkah. Merry Christmas. Blessed Solstice.

And a very happy and healthy New Year....

We have exciting things coming in 2012 for Blogfire!

Did someone say Blitzen?

No? Oh I misheard you...it was BLITZ!

Were you following the Blogfire blitz circle on our member blogs and get derailed by one of their wonderful shops? It's okay. It happens. Here is a list of their blogs so you can get back on the path (If their posts aren't up yet, they should be in the next day).

Seeking marketing help?

I ran across a blog called CraftMarketer. He addresses a number of issues crafters face marketing their wares and earning a living, from planning for craft fairs to establishing safe collaborations, and some articles are written by guest contributors. I thought some of the posts may be of interest to both Blogfire Guild members and our readers.

Of particular interest may be the articles on blogging to sell crafts online.

Blitz

Blogfire is back online. Members should stop by our forum to discuss the guild's direction, including signing up to participate in a blitz to start off the holiday promotion season.

I'm open to ideas for the guild - we can work together to make ourselves better crafters, better bloggers, and better friends :)

Hiatus

The regularly scheduled blog carnival is being put on hiatus while I handle some offline responsibilities. Any guild member who is interested in running the carnivals should contact me.

Hopefully this Fall we'll be back on a regular blogging schedule.

Thank you for your patience.
