I would love to participate in one but don't know how to go about joining one? I researched it before but got so confused! Can you shed a little light on the topic and how they actually work? Thanks!! Katie

Ok, I'll use this one for an example thepleatedpoppy.com/2014/01/what-i-wore-29/Every week on a certain day, the host will have a 'link party' which is where they make a blog post and you can link your blog. The idea is you visit some of the other blogs in the party to make friends. There are a few 'rules' usually, that you have to read in each post. They are things like 'follow the host' or 'link back to us' where you will put a link at the bottom of your blog post saying you have linked up. When you have done the rules, click 'add your link' at the bottom, put a link in to your blog post and then pick a picture to have as a thumb nail (the link app will give you a selection from your post' and ta-da!

Each one is slightly different but they have rules in the posts.
Most rules are link up a post, sometimes this is themed, like an outfit, or a beauty item, or sometimes it can be anything. Then you put a link in your post saying 'linking up with.. blah blah' then you have a look at some of the other blogs in the link up, commenting on and following those you like.
A lot of people just leave their link but don't visit other blogs, I find I get more interaction from visiting the other blogs - most tend to pay a visit in return, rather than dropping my link and running! If I don't have time to comment on many, I'll pick out the thumbnails that I'm drawn to.
