Blog Summary:  *

NOTE:

I strongly recommend including a link to your blog within the text of your blog summary. For example:

I am a work at home mom and I blog about
<a href="http://www.yourblogname.com">the challenges of working at home</a>.

That will show in your listing as:

I am a work at home mom and I blog about the challenges of working at home.

It gives you an extra link to your blog and you can use keywords such as "working at home" that are relevant for your blog.

Blog Picture Information

It's great to include photos in your interview. You can provide up to two different images. The first image will be shown on the blog listing page and the second will be shown as a 200 px wide image on your interview page. Both photos can be larger on your server, our system will resize them.

If you do not have a photo or image to use, we will include a default photo of a flower.

Please host the photos and then provide the url below and we'll link to them. We suggest using a free hosting service such as http://photobucket.com. We have had problems in the past with photos that are hosted on blogger, so if possible, please host the photos elsewhere.

If you provide only one image, it will be shown on both the blog listing page and the interview page.
