#BestAndWorst Linky Week #19

Hi everyone!

As Sarah over at Run Jump Scrap is skiving for a week doing some very important blog things she has asked me to step in and host the ‘Best and Worst’ linky, along with Helen at All The Beautiful Things. Fingers crossed I don’t screw it up!

You know when you’re desperate to hold someone’s baby but then also desperate not to if things go wrong? Yes, that’s pretty much how I’m feeling right now.

Ahem, anyway welcome to #bestandworst for any newbies and welcome to pooprainbows.com for any first timers. This is a linky, also known as a blog hop where we can all share our posts and read some new ones. Some of my best blogging buds, including Sarah have been found via linkys so do make sure you read and comment. You never know if you might be sowing the seeds of a new, bloggy friendship.

 Please remember to use the badge as it gives other people the chance to know where you are linking up. Also some people’s post are not always getting commented on – PLEASE comment on the 2 post before yours as it makes it fair and everyone gets some blog love.

Rules

• The linky will open at 6.30am on Wednesday and close at 23.55pm on Friday
• You can link up one post each week, old or new
• Please comment on the 2 posts before yours and have a nosey at the host’s too
• **Please add the badge to the bottom of your page** 
• When commenting use #bestandworst so everyone knows where you have come from
• Please tweet @helsy_1983 and @pooprainbowmama when you have posted using the #bestandworst. 

How to Guest Host a Linky

1. Have a good blogging friend tell you she’s taking a week off to migrate her blog and ask you to host.
2. Agree as she’s awesome, so is her linky and you’ve been meaning to get your linky toes wet for a while.
3. Stare slightly horrified at the large email of instructions you’ve been sent.
4. Open up Tweetdeck for the first time ever.
5. Mutter some curse words and close Tweetdeck.
6. Open up the simpler Twuffer.
7. Start scheduling tweets to invite people to link up.
8. Continue scheduling tweets to invite people to link up.
9. Schedule the last few tweets.
10. Realize you haven’t added a link to the link up tweets.
11. Realize you haven’t written a post to link the link up to.
12. Write the linky post.
13. Go back and change the tweets to include the link.
14. Check the time difference online and realize the tweets are scheduled to go out at the wrong time. Change the tweets again.
15. Check the preview of the blog post and realize there is a problem with the HTML code.
16. Pointlessly delete and reinsert the code a few times hoping something miraculous happens.
17. Run a google search to try to understand the problem.
18. Panic that what you are trying to do is impossible.
19. Write a panicky message to Sarah stating that you are trying to do the impossible.
20. Get a phone call from the Mrs asking you to cook the Baby’s dinner. Put some pasta on the hob to boil.
21. Run another google search and find that wordpress.com blogs require a different badge linky code to everyone else.
22. Try three different ways to make the badge linky code. Mutter increasingly bad curse words as each fail.
23. Write an message to Sarah apologizing that you have been unable to make a badge with grab code.
24. The Mummy comes home and asks what the smell is. Realize you’ve burnt the pasta for the Baby’s dinner. And not for the first time.
25. Check the time difference with Sarah. Realize the internet is wrong. Change the tweets again.
26. Schedule the linky post, crossing your fingers not completely convinced the Inlinkz link will work.
27. Panic and send another message to Sarah asking her to try and get a special wordpress.com Inlinkz code.
28. Pour a very large glass of wine.

I hope you can come link up with me tomorrow for #bestandworst….if it works…
