Sometimes being cheap isn't the best deal!
Wanted to see what people thought about this idea I had.
Usually we exchange gifts with our loved ones. While I'd LOVE to give everyone out there a personalized caption, its probably not in my best interests to ignore work, family, etc .. so I thought perhaps we can all give each other another gift .. one that is still thoughtful but also pretty cheap.
The gift of blog exposure .. which will help out
both TG Bloggers and those that read them.

Nothing makes me happier when I see someone become a member here. It means they want to follow up and read more of my work. I am sure that most every other Blogger feels the exact same way. I have almost 250 followers, Caitlyn has about 300, Jennifer has over 450, and Kaitlyn only has 36 for examples. Its often not even a case of quality, but of getting people to swing by and check it out.
I don't plan on being home for Christmas Day, as we usually travel 3 hours each way to visit relatives we only see on Christmas. I do know that many people ARE around and are either captive to their families or are far away from loved ones and somewhat lonely on Christmas Day ... not to mention those of different religious faiths.
So what I plan to do is set up a blog post for sometime Christmas morning, probably around 11:30 AM Eastern Standard Time, where I will feature (hopefully) a bunch of TG caption sites that agree to do the same in exchange.
I am setting up a deadline of sometime Sunday afternoon on December 23rd. After that, I can't guarantee I'll be able to put up anything significant.
RULES / GUIDELINES
(1) You post below that you wish to be involved in the gift exchange, saying that you want to participate and reciprocate.
(2) I will go to your TG Captions Blog and pick a caption I like, posting a thumbnail copy in the post and a link to that caption below it. Depending on how much time I have and the number of people participating, I might give a sentence or two about why I like the caption or why they should head there to the individual blog.
(3) Y.ou do the same thing for me. You'll have a thumbnail and a link to a caption of mine in your post. It might help that if you have a "TG Pregnancy Blog" that you pick one of mine, but it isn't really necessary.
(4) This step isn't required, but I think it'd be great if you could post this on YOUR blog, looking for others to trade with. I think it'd be a nice gift for people who are just READERS of TG Captions to see how many blogs are out there, and give them exposure to some they might have missed.
(5) Make your post on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
(6) I will not link to sites that ONLY snag other people's work. This is for the actual creators only.
Lets see how this goes .. maybe we can make it an annual tradition!
