Good morning and welcome to the Grow Your Blog (or GYB) blog hop!
What is the Grow Your Blog Hop all about? NETWORKING!
Meeting new bloggers, finding new content to follow, building your readership.
Why is blog networking great for you? Simply put, it increases readership and traffic to your blog.
How do you network? Visit. Comment. Invite. Communicate. These are key to growing your blog.

THIS WEEK'S HOSTS & LOVELY CO-HOSTS!
Julie from This Gal Cooks (HOST)
Paula from Call Me PMc (HOST)
Rae from Caffeinated Diva (CO-HOST)
Nicole from Pharr Away (CO-HOST)
Nicki from Fiveorite Things (CO-HOST)
Rekita from Lovely Army Wife (CO-HOST)
Follow your hosts and co-hosts
Visit and follow other bloggers
Comment to let them know that you stopped by and how you followed (Email, GFC, FB, etc)
Invite them to visit your blog (be sure to leave your blog web address)
Communicate with them about what you like on their blog.
Let them know you are interested in their blog.
USE THEIR NAME!
A simple "I'm so and so stopping by. I followed you please follow me." just isn't going to interest someone into visiting your blog.
Sure, you can request a visit to your blog or a follow along but engage in some type of conversation first.
Grab a button and promote the party (you can get the button on This Gal Cooks right here.)

If you're here from Chelsea's where I'm guest posting today about Communication through Actions (w/ a giveaway),
I'm SO happy to have you!
Please stay awhile and browse around!!!
