Hello and Welcome!

Hi fellow Crusaders! For those who don't remember, Rach Harrie is holding the second annual Writer's Platform-Building Crusade, which was so wildly popular that she had to stop taking entries. Over two hundred people joined in, compared to last year's fifty!

So to everyone who has signed up: I'll get to your blog soon. I've followed about half the list and I'm working on the rest. The only problem with the Crusade is it's filling up to the max number of blogs I can follow. Plus, I've been following so many that it makes me type in the letter code to prove I'm not a spambot.

And don't worry; I will comment. I just visit a lot of blogs so I usually only comment when I have something substantial to say. But that doesn't mean I haven't read your post!

Have fun with the Crusade! And for everyone else...just have fun I guess : ).

  1. What is the maximum number of blogs you can follow? Now I'm scared I'll hit it, lol.

    Isn't the Crusade awesome so far? :D

  2. I didn't know there was a maximum number of blogs a person could follow. That bites.

    We're not in the same "crusader group" but I saw that you write post-apocolypic YA and that intrigues me. Curious as to what your WIP is about and excited to see what great things you do :)

  3. I didn't know there was a max number either. o_0
    I follow thousands of blogs..and have a substantial number of followers, but I've never been told I had a limit. I hope blogger never stops me.
    Maybe it's a ratio thing? Or maybe it's just so many per day...to avoid the spam?
    Have you tried again today?
    Hmmm. Curious.

  4. Is it the 300 message? Because I get it too when I try to add blogs from the Dashboard.

    It's been giving me Word Verification as well. But it's fun visiting all the new blogs!

  7. It took me two days to follow everyone on the list. My computer froze a lot, but I eventually finished. It feels good to finally be done.

  8. It's the cruddy three hundred limit on my Dashboard that's annoying me. Three hundred? Bah! That's hardly any!

    Oh, and I'm in group six. : D

  13. Hello :) I'm another newbie to the whole follower thing... 300's the limit for following??? I'm so pleased to be your 200! (Or maybe 201 - the Crusaders are speedy!)

  14. Hello! Thanks for the follow!! I've heard that Blogger sets a limit of 300 blogs a person can follow, but I'm here to say that's an urban legend. Or...I somehow fly below their radar, LOL. I follow w a y more than that number!

    Looking forward to crusading with you!

    Nice to meet another fellow crusader.

  16. Hi fellow crusader! I've been running into the same problem with having to do the word verification to follow. It did that to me two days ago, and now it just started doing it again. Time for a break, I guess!

  17. Hey there. Your follower button isn't showing up at the moment. I'll try to remember to come back, but if I forget, feel free to remind me. Sanks.

    Nice to "meet" you.
