Stumble Tumble Tuesday #STT - Stumble a great post!

Welcome to Stumble Tumble Tuesday hosted by Acting Balanced, Sunshine and Sippy Cups and Wyoming Girl Turned Coastie Wife! The
goal of this hop is to use Stumble Upon to help you promote your 
blog posts and get more traffic.

Even if you think you are stumbling correctly, please read this post on how to check and see if your stumble was successful. Some stumbles aren't showing up, thanks!

To take part is simple.

New Meme! He Said/She Said - ask your spouse and share with your readers!

This is a new meme - the idea of this is to ask your significant other's opinion on the question of the week and link up both of your opinions the following week!

Each Saturday both Wayne and I will post the following week's question and our own answers (with mine being the correct one of course) on both of our blogs - we'll also open up a linky so that you can add your own posts! If you and your spouse both blog you can put up your answers on each blog, or if you are the only prolific writer in your family you can ask your SO their opinion and write their answer down for them (word for word of course).  You are also welcome to hook up a He Said/He Said or a She Said/She Said - whatever works for you!

The questions to discuss this week are:

What is the best gift you ever gave your SO/ and received from your SO?  The worst?

Next week's questions:

Color, Click, Capture ~ Blue

I'm a little late to this party, but I just found a cool new weekly photography linky and wanted to participate!  

The Color, Click, Capture photography challenge is hosted by East9thStreet, A Helicopter Mom, Nap Time Is My Time and Sunshine and Sippy Cups.  This week our color is BLUE.

Stop Drop Alexa Hop

I was going through my Triberr list tonight and was struck by the name of this hop and decided that I hadn't participated in an Alexa Hop in quite some time, so I'm trying out the Stop Drop Alexa Hop hosted by Karma Media

Everyone wants to lower their Alexa rank!  Link up to our Alexa hop!  Before linking up, remembering the following:

1. The Alexa toolbar must be installed.  You can download it here, it only takes a few seconds.  When you have the toolbar downloaded, this helps lower your score.

2. Visit the other blogs that have linked up.

3. Once you click on a blog, allow the page to fully load and then click on a second page.  Leave a comment so they can visit you in return.
