Gack Ink: The Bring Your Own Blog Network
Gack Ink the new, bring your own blog network recently had their first round of submissions. I had a go and entered this blog and am pleased to say that I was accepted, along with the following other blogs:

I’m really looking forward to getting to know all the members of the network, it’s a great opportunity to become a better blogger and to find other great bloggers too. I have already discovered a post that is going to help me this week, thanks to this network. Rory at Hamelife posted on how to swith from the new Blogger to Wordpress something I have been thinking about for a while now with another blog I deal with.

Well done to all the others who were accepted. If anyone else is interested, keep an eye on Gack Ink for network news and the next round of submissions.

    Thank you so much for giving me a mention here. And if you do go ahead with any switching from New Blogger to WordPress, and encounter obstacles - you know you can just drop me a line and we can try and work through any problems together.

    Thanks, again.

    Hi! Congratulations! I’m excited to be working with you. You’ve got an interesting site here.

    By the way, I tagged you for the “Five Reasons Why I Blog” meme over on my website.

    Rory: Thanks for dropping by, I definitely will be on to you if I run into any trouble with the swap! Though your post looks pretty straightforward, I hope I can follow it!

    Laura: I’m excited about the whole idea too, it’ll be great bouncing off each other.

    I’m awful at memes, but thanks! I’ll give it a go soon.

    Char: It is an honour to have been accepted, thank you! I look forward to working with you and all the other members as part of the network, too.

    Hans: What is this UBSquare? I had a look, but I got a bit confused, do you have to do anything to join? How do you display those stats too?

    Hans Says:

    hi Phil, you just click join among the top links. You fill in your respective info and provide a nice banner(optional). Then you will get an image button to place on your sidebar. This is how you get tracked. On clicking this image button from your blog, visitors can vote or review for your blog rising it up in the listing and making it gain more traffic.

    Ok, Hans, I might just do that. Any publicity is good publicity, right? Thanks for letting me know!

    Hi Phil,
    One of the best things about GackInk is finding so many great new blogs to read. (Dust bunnies? What Dust bunnies…) Welcome to the network!

    Hi Katelyn,
    You’re so right, my feed reader doesn’t know what’s hit it in the last couple of days. I suppose one of my goals for this year was to read more blogs, so this is really helping out. It is so interesting discovering blogs that I may not have read before as well.
