Get The Word Out Wednesday #3 2105

Hey folks we ware late again (I have spent the last 2 nights at the ER or violently ill myself (migraines, gotta love’em).

Anyway after the brain fog cleared today I remembered I needed to post this so here it is.

I am taking a little time away from the blog but the link-ups will still be out every Wednesday.

Thank you for your patience.

Thank you for stopping by and please be sure to tell everyone you know (bloggers and readers) about the opportunity to spread the word.

I am still looking for guest post or stories and would love to share more than my own experience.

We will be hosting a “Get the Word Out Wednesday” Link-up EVERY Wednesday for blogs featuring articles that will help those with a chronic illness.

This linkup is not only for zebras but ANYONE with a chronic illness that has a personal story, help (allergen-free recipes, ideas), adaptation ideas, testimonial or anything that would be helpful or encouraging to others, (even sharing a day in your life).

The idea of the “Get The Word Out” link-up is to spread the word about our illnesses, adaptations, short-cuts, tools, articles, stories, etc… and support each other during this sometimes lonely journey.

Bloggers struggling with pain and challenges can visit other sites, while non-bloggers can find others like them and follow along while offering encouragement to one another.

I LOVE fun crafty, save money, anything goes linkups but the “Get The Word Out” Link-up is not one of those. We will have a few rules to keep the links useful and uplifting to our readers.

RULES FOR LINKING UP

1.) Blog Links must be family friendly and link to a post. Not a home page. You may link up to 3 posts in one link-up party.

2.) The links used can offer personal stories of your life with a chronic illness, pain, handicap, physical challenge or invisible illness. Income earning ideas for those with physical challenges (not promoting your downline specifically-it must be an actual post sharing what it is how and it helped you.) Tools (splints, braces, grabbers, kitchen tools, etc… that heave helped you in some way to “adapt” to your challenge (illness), recipes adapted to deal with an allergy, articles on helping a child with physical or mental challenges (diet, behavior, sensory, ADD, ADHD, etc…), articles on awareness, information, compiled useful lists, etc…

3.) If you are a reader and do not have a blog but would like to offer an article you feel would be helpful. Just leave the name or a link in the comments and our readers can look it up and I will contact them about joining our weekly link-up. (Hopefully as word spreads we were have an abundance of articles to offer.)

New To Link-ups?

Bloggers here’s how:

1.) At the bottom of this post you will find a blue button that says “Add Your Link”. Click on it.

2.) Follow the instructions on the next page. Please remember to link to a specific post and not your main page. (We encourage readers to explore your page but do not want them to get frustrated and quit looking if they cannot find the article they originally wished to link to.)

3.) Stop by a few of the other blogs and leave a note of encouragement on the articles you enjoyed. Feel free to mention that you were sent there through this linkup. ( To encourage them to link-up again.)

4.) Please link back to The Zippy Zebra. I do not have a special button yet but feel free to use the icon at the top with an embedded link OR a simple text link will do. (If you dont know how please message me and we can walk through it.)
