• First and foremost, we ask that you please follow your hosts and co-hosts via Twitter, Blog Lovin’, Facebook, or email (links are typically found at the top of the party post or in the right sidebar). This is a crucial step that allows us to keep you promptly updated on important party news, special announcements, and, of course, the exciting party features! Following us ensures you don’t miss out on any recognition or opportunities.
• Engagement is at the heart of our community! Please make an effort to visit and interact with at least 2 other links from the party. The beauty of a link party lies in discovery and connection. We highly suggest leaving a thoughtful comment on the blogs you visit to let the creator know you stopped by and appreciated their work. This simple act of reciprocal support makes a huge difference and truly embodies the spirit of our community.
• While not strictly mandatory, we strongly encourage you to grab a button from our party! Displaying our button on your blog helps us spread the word about Marvelous Mondays, attracting more talented creators and diverse content, which ultimately benefits everyone participating. It’s a small way to show your support and help our community grow.
• This party is dedicated to celebrating original creations! Please link up your genuine recipes, crafts, or DIY projects that you have personally made or developed. We kindly request that you refrain from linking giveaways, promotions for shops, or unrelated content. Our aim is to create a space for authentic sharing and inspiration.
• Please note that by linking up your posts and projects, you are granting This Gal Cooks, Cooking on the Front Burner, and Call Me PMc permission to use your photos in our featured posts and potentially across our social media outlets. Rest assured, all photos used will always be linked back directly to your original sites and posts, providing proper attribution and driving traffic back to your amazing content.
• **To ensure fairness and offer fresh opportunities to all party-goers, Paula, Deb, and I kindly request that you ONLY link up posts that you have not recently linked up to Marvelous Mondays. We’ve noticed some repeat posts appearing in recent parties. To be equitable to everyone, please only link up NEW posts, posts that you have never linked up to our party before, or posts that you have not linked up in at least a couple of months. While we will not be “policing” every single link-up, please understand that repeat offenders’ posts will not be considered for features on Marvelous Mondays.
