It’s that time again!! Link up your facebook pages for some love!!
“Facebook Friday” is similar to a “Follow Friday” or other memes you may have heard about where people follow you and you follow other people. With a catch.
If you don’t actually like the page (or blog associated with it)…don’t click “like”.
The one thing I don’t like about those “Friday Follows” and things of that nature is that you feel obligated to follow someone who follows you. Sure, you may find a few blogs you may have not otherwise have found and genuinely want to follow them. Then comes the guilt. So-and-so followed me…so I’m obligated to follow them back. Then heaven forbid you stop following-well…they are going to do it too! Don’t get me wrong-I’ve participated in a few of those in my time (and found blogs I really enjoyed!) and there’s nothing wrong with that-if that’s what you want to do. I personally want people to follow me because they genuinely like my blog and want to interact with me.
Here’s how it works:
If you want to participate you’re going to link up below. Link up to your fanpage-not your blog. If you want 5,000 friends and would rather have people “friend” you on facebook you’re welcome to do that as well. If you’d rather have more followers on your “networked blogs” page…link that up! This meme is all about the facebook love. The only thing I ask in return is that you place my button (below) on your blog. If you don’t like my cute little button you can just add a little blippet at the bottom of your post (something to the effect of “I’m participating in facebook friday at MamaBytes”). I’ve seen plenty of people who don’t want to clutter things up with buttons but show a gal some love somehow! It can be in your post today, on your sidebar…whatever. I’d like for anyone who needs more “fans” to be able to get them. If you really love me 
tweet this post out and let your friends on twitter know as well.
Now that the technical stuff is out of the way let’s get on with the show. Remember…only “like” blogs you actually like…or want to get to know better. No “liking” back is required…and thus no guilt. If you want to “like” someone back in return feel free-but it’s not required.

I think you may need glasses if you’re referring to me as beautiful.
On the other hand-I’m glad you made a FB page. You’re welcome-I’m happy to have people as wonderful as you visit my blog for any reason.

Happy Friday! Thanks for the linky. I loved your post too. There are so many blog hops out there with tons of rules and this one is so refreshing. I, too, get the guilt about following back, but I truly only follow the blogs I am interested in. And I hope that people don’t follow me just because I followed them. I hope people actually like my blog.
Anyway – I think your blog is great. I am now following you on FB and GFC. I tweeted your post, and I posted your button here – http://thelifeofrylieandbrycetoo.blogspot.com/p/mmbutton.html.
Have a great day!!!

Hi! I’m creating a blog hop master list on my blog, Twee Poppets, and I’d love to include this blog hop! I just need to know what time the linky opens and closes each week (please include day of the week, time, and time zone). If you could respond with this info on my blog (http://tweepoppets.blogspot.com) or via email (TweePopACap@gmail.com), I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
