Following all of you (leannxo). Not asking for a follow back, as my homestead blog won't be up and running for another few weeks or so. I very much enjoy browsing through your blogs, as well as others from HT. It's just nice to feel a part of a community of like-minded folks, even if there is little interaction on my part.
Wanted to add to this post though. My dad writes true crime books, and has a blog (
http://kidnappingmurderandmayhem.blogspot.com/ )with a couple hundred thousand hits. He is occasionally asked by other authors if they may write a guest post on his blog. He allows it for mutual traffic, and when the other author has no site (which does happen), it is still a win-win- my dad gets an additional article on his blog with little work on his part, the author gets their name and work published on a somewhat recognized blog, etc etc.
Like lots of the posts here say, my dad has the right to refuse to publish it, ask for changes, etc etc. They simply send the article to his email, they make changes if need be, and he posts it.
Hope this helps anyone later down the line
