Like some others in the blogging world I was disappointed to discover that my lovely little Google Shared Items was not able to be well.....shared anymore.
While not keeping mine as current as some friends I knew it was always there and I could keep tabs of what I was liking about others blogs. Because frankly there are a lot of blogs I like and and are inspired from and I often don't get to comment on a post that has tweaked my interest or encouraged me and I could keep keep it in my thoughts t by putting it in my shared items. Sadly now this is no longer an option and I am looking for another way to do this.
Now I know also that some are trying out new ways of sharing items and most of these seem a trifle hard and complicated to organise. I also remember suggesting to Erin that we could share on Pinterest, but again it means a more complicated way of doing this.
However after discussion today I am wondering if anyone would be interested in a weekly Shared Items Post that we can leave a comment on or a linky too. Perhaps this is no less complicated than the other versions but I am just thinking out loud here.
So, I would be happy to coordinate if anyone is interested! Let me know if there is a need or interest in this please and I will follow it up.
Or if you have a super easy way to get my sharing happening again let me know. I just know I am going to hate moving all those blog addresses to another site ☺
Blessings to you and your homes,
Hope you get things figured out Gae...love reading your blog.

I'm in:)
ReplyDeleteI got my share feature back. I already had a public "shared items" box on my blog sidebar and now shared items appear there again.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about it here:

It worked for me really quickly, and brought back the ever useful "share" button!

Not sure on a weekly one.
Dear Chareen,
ReplyDeleteYes I was going to use this image for the shared items if anyone was interested and make a little cod for it. So yes use it please.
Dear Erin,
Knew you would :)
Anyone have a favourite day for this to happen on?
Dear Lillibeth, I will give it a try thank you but will still open up the idea of a shared weekly event
Blessings

Hi Gae,
ReplyDeleteIf you decide to go ahead with the shared item link idea, I would be interested in joining you.
I hope you work out a solution to your dilema!
It must be so frustrating.
Love..Trish
Thank you Gae. I've already added it in :)
ReplyDeleteI think a Friday would work as it's end of the week and we can add in what we have found on line.
Probably earlier/mid week would suit me, as I already have linky parties Friday/Saturday. then again if you pick later I'll just write earlier the next week and be late to the party:)
