Back Links Required!

Although at first glance, my blog may seem like I'm a new blogger, I've been doing this for awhile.  Now, I'm not really making too much money, it does bring in a little here and there, and it also gives me a creative outlet.  Because I have recently changed my name on my blog, I'm really trying to make my presence a little more known and get it out there on as many Link parties as I can.

I have discovered something that is very frustrating and feel like I don't really have a voice on it.  These blogs that have made it mandatory to have a back link in the post in order to post in their Link party!  Now, I have tried to give each and every blog I link up to a voice and shout out on my blog by listing them over in my right hand column.  In fact, this time around, I have been working hard to even list it by day I link up on.

This means that each of these blogs get FREE advertising all week long, 24/7!  Yes, it's free to them because I like to frequent their parties and link up my ideas on their blogs so they can make money off of me!  I don't know it just seems like when I am not allowed to link up because of the back link in my post, it seems like a slap in the face.

To further clarify on my point here - I actually have extremely slow Internet service.  There are no other options for Internet here are the prairie!  We seem to have landed in the backwoods, so for me to have several pages open at a time, just to link and back link parties...it is nearly impossible to get done!  I often can't even open up some of the regular blogs I like to visit, because they are too big with too many things going on!  Yet, I patiently wait for them to process on my slow Internet and really, these back link parties, take more than most to load!  To get to the end of the process to say that I am not able to link up until I meet their requirements, like I am the criminal here, is very frustrating!

I know, I could just avoid those links.  I can only think of one solution here to my problem, and still be able to link up to blogs that I really do like to visit (for the time being).  I think some of the solutions I could do are:
  1. Take them off my sidebar, so they don't get the FREE press from me.
  2. Put a back link list at the end of my posts clearly stating these are the people that don't want me to advertise for them but please check the links to the right column.
  3. Stop visiting those blogs, ever!
  4. Comment on all those blogs that I don't like it (and not be heard).
I am really torn about this, because I don't want to be negative and give off negativity on this, but it really bothers me!  I would love to hear what you think about this new phenomenon on blogger land?

To start off, be sure to visit those blogs that are easy to visit and link up to in my right column.  Here's my list of blogs I am having difficulty linking up to:

DIY Pig Feeder

  This is our second year of raising pigs for the fair.  We've had some bumps along the way, one of them was our homemade feeder of last year.  I tend to have ideas, and then Mr. Right gets the pleasure of trying to execute my ideas.  Most of the time it works out, but last year, our feeder was a fail.   This year, we need a feeder that can go a long period of time, since our pigs are not on our property where we live.  Our neighbor made a complaint about the smell of the pigs last year to our landlord, so the landlord told us no more pigs. (Keep in mind, there are only 2 pigs on 6 acres and they are only here for 5 months and then go to the 4-H fair and livestock auction) Thankfully, another neighbor graciously allowed us to pen up a corner of her horse pen, to put our pigs in.    This year, I wanted to be sure that Mr. Right did a quality version of the pig feeder that would make it through the entire five months, and hopefully...

Local Harvest

I am so surprised at the amount of people who don't take advantage of local farmers and produce!  We heard about a place called "Tomato Toms" and just had to check it out. (Especially since it seems nearly impossible to grow tomatoes in our town.  I think it's something about the elevation)  We took a Sunday afternoon to drive to explore local produce and find Tomato Tom. This drive, I thought for sure that no one could be possibly growing anything on such dry land (see the background to the first picture, below).  Then we drove up a scary driveway and look what we found: Tomato Toms was a fantastic sizable garden of u-pick heaven!  We picked 60 pounds of tomatoes in 10 minutes.  Then took about twenty more minutes to figure out just what onions and peppers we needed to go with our tomatoes. The tomatoes weren't store perfect, as in no blemishes or anything, but they were beautiful and tasted wonderful off the vine!  I don't normally ...

Burlap and Ticking

I found a queen size bed ruffle with  a ticking ruffle on it.  Immediately, I picked it up (for only $1!) at our local thrift store.  I knew that I would combine it with my find of burlap bags.  ( I picked up 200 of them for only $10!  Yes, that's right, they were only $.05 each! I overindulged in them, and could take no less than 200 because of the price.)  One of the problems with my new bags is that they are a little smaller than the printed ones that I have.  I personally like really long table runners because I have a really big table, but I decided to get over my own feelings and make this runner as long as I could (the ruffle really helped, too).  So here is the runner.  I think the ticking and the burlap really look great together.  I know how to make ruffles and have ticking, but for $1 I thought that this really was worth using from a different source! You could have it in the middle of a big table like above, or you co...
