Welcome to the first ever Stories from Blogging Africa link-up!
Started by two expat bloggers – me, here in Pretoria South Africa and Frances of the Africa Expats Wives Club in Nairobi, Kenya – we thought this would be a great way to meet other bloggers on the continent and find out a bit more about what life is like in other African countries.
The beauty of Africa
For those new to link-up’s, this is a place to post links to posts written by you on your own blog all with a common theme (in this case Africa). You can then visit as many other blogs as possible to see what others have written about. This is a great way to hopefully get to know some new bloggers and find out about life elsewhere on this amazingly diverse continent.
We are keeping this link-up as flexible as possible to start with and the only rules are that your posts should not be offensive nor should they be pure advertising. We will remove any that do not follow these two guidelines.
Otherwise all we want from you is an African related post, whether it be about your life, about politics, or wildlife or travel; whether it be in story-form or a photographic post – so long as it conveys something about the continent. Although you are not obliged to read any other posts, it will be a very boring link-up if everyone just posts and runs so our suggestion is to at least visit the two host’s posts and two or three others.
Please grab the badge below to add to the bottom of you post and link it back to this page and then add your post by clicking on the froggy link at the bottom. Let me know in the comments section if you are experiencing any problems – this is the first time we have done this so I apologise now for any technical hiccups! Otherwise I look forward to reading your stories 🙂

Well done on starting a linky, I thought there weren’t any participants till I read these comments and wondered where the posts could be that Sini and Soso were talking about…then I clicked on the blue froggie….how come they don’t show up on your page? I realise it says “click to view” but I’ve never seen a linky like that and just automatically thought it was to add a link so nearly missed out. Just wondering if I’m thick or if other bloggers might think the same thing.

No I don’t know how to make the comments be on my own page!!!! I’m sure there is a way of doing it so need to investigate. Do you use Inlinkz?

yes Clara I do. As I’ve just set up my #AllAboutFrance linky for tomorrow I had a look around and there’s a place where you choose whether you have the links on your page or on an external page. I can’t find it again without making a new linky but I’m sure you’ll find it for your next one.

Now I am not sure if it works for WordPress.com because it is only giving me one option which is for a button to an external page. I will investigate further.
