Getting Listed

So, you wanna get listed in the Personals, huh? Well, that's good...'cuz I wanna get you listed!!

Here's what I need from you:
1. The title and url of your blog.
2. A brief blog "blurb"...think: a personals ad in a newspaper. (i.e. Hi! I'm Mama M, mother of 5 crazy kids, wife to one fab dad, and a labor and delivery nurse by night. I enjoy pina colodas and getting lost in the rain...)
3. If you have one, the code to your blog button.
4. Which category you think your blog fits into!

And that's it!

Just shoot me an email at fivecrookedhalos (at) gmail (dot) com with "Personals" in the subject line and the above information in the context and we'll be all set to go on a date someday!

Navigating the Categories.

Welcome to Mama's Personals!

I want to provide you with "map" of sorts...a way to navigate your way through the categories!

Since I had about 40,000 categories that I wanted, but was confined to just 10 (TEN!! Argh! Blogger, you're killin' me!)...I needed to do some creative organizing to fit in the millions of different niches out there.

Some are self explanatory:

Others, not quite so much. Hence, the navigation post you're reading right now!

Here's some help:

Health: Includes healthy living, chronic health issues, TTC, and infertility.
Craft/DIY/Design: Includes all things crafty (scrapbooking, refinishing, carpentry) as well as DIY projects and tutorials (everything from plumbing to coloring your hair!), and all things design (interior, blog, fashion, etc.), as well!
Education/Homeschool: Includes educational material, ideas, concepts. Homeschooling centered blogs. Teachers and everything in between.
Life: For those who aren't mommy bloggers or a crafters or a homeschoolers, but blog about all things in life!

And, because sometimes, people just can't fit into a specific category...
None of the Above Blogs: For people who have rockin' blogs, but just can't be pigeoned holed into a niche! This is the place for them!

Okay. Phew!

I hope this helps!
