How to Enter a Post/Link into Mr. Linky
Even if you have used Mr. Linky before, please read this carefully. If a link is not properly added, it will be deleted for everyone’s convenience.

In the “Your name:” box, please enter the name of the blog (not your name) that you are submitting.

In the “Your URL:” box please enter the URL/link that will lead directly to the post you are submitting (also called the permalink). This is not the URL to the blog’s home page.

For example, if I want to enter My Friend Amy’s “Book Review Policy Page,” here’s what I’d do:

Your name: My Friend Amy
Your URL: http://www.myfriendamysblog.com/2008/05/book-review-policy.html

How to Find the Correct Link (Permalink)

This is very easy. Go to the post that you want to submit. Click on the post title (not the blog title or the blog’s home page tab). Once you’ve clicked on the post title, what you’ll generally see is just that single post (and its comments). Now go to your bowser’s location box (the place where you type in URLs) and copy the entire link. This is the permalink that will take you directly the post in question.

If you want to test the link, open another browser tab or window and paste the URL into the location box. The correct post should appear. Once you verify that you have the correct link, you can paste it into Mr. Linky in the “Your URL:” box.

Why Is This Important?

All of us will have a lot of posts to read and blogs to visit during BBAW. Some blogs have hundreds of posts, but we need to find just the one you submitted. If you link to the blog’s home page, all we’ll see is the newest posts and we won’t have any idea which specific post is being submitted for BBAW. So not only will we miss out on reading the post but the submission will be lost because the wrong link was provided.

Let’s Practice!!!!

Go to the review of one of your favorite books on your own blog, find the permalink, and enter your information below!

This is such great information!!  I was one of those people who used to post just my blog address and not the direct link.  Thankfully, I figured this out recently, but this is a great reminder!!

Hi - I’m a little confused. Is the above Mr Linky for *any* review or does it have to be the review I submitted when I was nominated for BBAW award? Thanks!

Thanks for this tutorial!

No stranger to Mr. Linky.

thanks - I messed up the first round and submitted before reading all the directions. That should be making a great impresssion feel free to delete #109. I think I got it right on #110. I just mainly love seeing everyone else’s blogs. I am totally an amature at this.

Always good to have more lists of bloggers. Thanks for all of the work you’ve done.

Nuts!  It auto-filled with “Dawn - She is Too Fond of Books” and I didn’t catch it (but the link is direct to a book review!)

I’ll just use “She is Too Fond of Books” during BBAW, mea culpa!

I am doing giveaways mon-fri during BBAW.  I will be posting every day and that post will have a giveaway.  Do I need to post in here each day or can I just link to my blog?

I don’t know if I used Mr. Linky right.  I tried!
