December 1st is World Ilyon Day created by myself, approved by LadyJaye , and planned by...*drumroll*YOU! Do you have any ideas on how to celebrate it? Blog link-up? Blog post ideas? Oh, and it was @anna Brie 's idea to make this, so thank her!

Hm... other than the stuff dicussed in the Random posts thread... I'll have to think about this Btw, someone should copy & paste the ideas from the random posts thread over here. (I would, but I don't think my ipad will let me)

Okay here are the ideas. (I think I got them all) 1. Tell about your favorite character and explain why. 2. Interview another Ilyon fan without a blog. 3. End it with your favorite quote. 4. Wear something related to Ilyon, whether it's one of Jaye's jewelry pieces from her etsy shop, or just the color green. 5. recommend the series to at least one person.

So, should this be the "Home Base" where those who have blogs post the links of their blog posts, so that everyone can visit them, and just a place to talk about it in general? I think there should be somewhere to collect all the different posts. Also are we going to 'promote' it so the word gets out or just post about it on December First, hoping it'll catch on for next year?
Sounds like fun!

I think that we should promote it.

I can make up a wee post 'bout it soon. Someone should post about it on the Goodreads group - MistyofGreenshire you're on there, right? I don't keep much updated with that one, but I know there are many that do. It'd be good to get them on-board.

I'll post bout it tomorrow. We can do a link up.

Sounds good. I've done a link-up before, but only on another blog. Like, the blogger had the link-up on her post and then everyone that participated put their links on her post sort of...I'm not sure how it'd work on here? Will your blog be the link-up area, or Jaye's, or should there be a World Ilyon Day Website?

I've never done a linkup before so I wouldn't know.

Probably not a whole website, maybe a page on someone's blog? I'm thinking either Rayray's or Jaye's, but idk. I've only ever participated in linkups, never hosted them.

I could make it since I suggested it.

Ok, working on it. How do you tag someone in a blog post?
|
|
|
Post by MistyofGreenshire on Nov 23, 2015 20:07:48 GMT -6
Um... I don't know. You mean tag them so they get notified? Because I don't think there's a thing for that.
|

Post by rayray on Nov 23, 2015 20:11:42 GMT -6
No tag them as in like you put Sierra on there and they can click on you and it goes to your blog.

I've done link-ups and have an account with inlinkz. If you'd like, I can make one and give you the code to put on your blog. But this sounds like fun, and I'm looking forward to it! Oh, rayray, you have to manually put a link to their website behind their name.

You click the add link bbutton, type their name where it says "text to display" and then paste the link in the box beneath it

Ok, this is what I put on the page on my blog, but it's still a draft until you guys ok it. Does this sound ok?
I suggested to Jaye L. Knight, the author of the Ilyon Chronicles, that we should make December 1st National Ilyon Day! Actually we were going to name it National Ilyon Day, but our Australian buddy on the Jorum reminded us that their are international fans as well.
On WID what the participating blogs will do is I will start it off by telling you all how I found the series, who my favorite character is and why, and recommending the series to you all. At the end I will tag another participant who will do the same. A guest post where you interview someone without a blog and post it is optional but I will be doing one.

Did you mean international the first time?

Post by rayray on Nov 23, 2015 20:19:11 GMT -6
No, we were going to name it Nat. but @anna Bria said that she isn't in our nation, so it became World.

Post by MistyofGreenshire on Nov 23, 2015 20:20:35 GMT -6
Right, but you said "December 1st is National Ilyon day"

Post by rayray on Nov 23, 2015 20:22:35 GMT -6
Ohh, I see now, ok, I'll change that. Should we do anything else?
|
|
|
Post by MistyofGreenshire on Nov 23, 2015 20:24:39 GMT -6
Question, do we write our post and then tag another participating blogger at the end? Like pass it along? That's what it sounded like from the last line

The second paragraph doesn't read well. I'd suggest:
On WID, I will start it off with a post telling you all how I found the series, who my favorite character is and why, and recommending the series to all of my loyal followers. At the end I will tag another participant who will do the same, and so forth.
A guest post where you interview someone without a blog and post it is optional, but I will be doing one.

That sounds better. And yes Sierra. It would like kind of like this except I would have been tagged, I am starting it. Thank you to FairyTaleArista for tagging me!
I found the series under Christian Fantasy.
My favorite character is Kaden because he is so funny, daring, and hungry like me.
I highly recommend this series!
I tag MistyofGreenshire .

We probably need to count who all wants to participate right?

I did offer to give you an inlinkz code so you can have a link-up.
