4. Mandatory FOLLOW FRENZY:
We require that all bloggers who link to the Keep Love in Lent carnival participate in the FOLLOW FRENZY. We’re sorry, but this time around, the follow frenzy is not optional. However, you will have a minimized group of only 10-12 bloggers to click to, read, enjoy and comment upon, over a week!
Here’s how:
* Once the linky closes on 3/10/14, the admins of the Keep Love linky will email ALL who’ve linked. We will provide you with info regarding a group to which you will be “assigned.”
* You are asked to visit the blogs in your group ( there will be approx 10-12 ) and leave meaningful comments.
* You are asked to visit and comment between Monday 3/10 and Monday 3/17.
~ And that’s IT for the participation guidelines.~
