Please join our new blogroll

April 30, 2009 by Nikowa  

We recently experienced some trouble with our blogroll and were forced to close it down. Now that our host is back up and running, we would like to officially invite you to join our blogroll! Please note that this is a brand new blogroll with a clean list. We apologize, but if you were a member before, you will need to resubmit your information. We can’t wait to check out your blogs!

This blog ring is a place just for homeschooling parents and teachers to find similar blogs in one central location. Web surfers can peruse this list without having to scour through hundreds of other blogs that have no relevance to homeschooling.

All bloggers must be in agreement with the following criteria:

  1. The blog must be written by a homeschooling parent or teacher and the blog must reflect that.
  2. Blogs must not contain profanity or lewd comments.
  3. Blogs must not contain inappropriate photos.
  4. The person who blogs on the site does not have to be a Christian. We welcome all homeschoolers regardless of their beliefs, or schooling methods however, we cannot add anyone to the list who belittles or mocks another’s faith or schooling method on their blog.
  5. You must place one of the following links on your blog to be approved:

Please Be Advised:
Each blog that requests to be added will be visited by a moderator to make sure that it meets the qualifications before approval. However, if a blog’s content changes to something that doesn’t meet our guidelines and is not caught during random checks please report it to us.

The Heart of the Matter reserves the right to refuse or remove any blog that does not meet our guidelines.

STEP ONE
To add your blog to our blog ring, please email Nikowa and include your email address, blog title and your blog URL.

STEP TWO
Please copy and paste the following code (within the box) onto your blog. You can place it into a sidebar widget.

As the blogroll grows, the list may take up a good portion of your sidebar. Some bloggers have found it helpful to place the code into a separate post. Another option, which unfortunately does not work on some blog formats, is to use a Flooble expandable content box. This script will allow you to collapse and expand the blogroll box. If you would like for us to place the code on your blog for you, please include your username and password as well as the URL to your blog in an email to us, and if we can work with your platform, we will insert the code for you.

    Hi Nikowa! I was wondering…is there a way to get this code to work on a Wordpress blog? I cannot get the blogs to show up. I have the graphic, and even the scroll bar shows up…but the blogs do not.

    If not, is there a way to have an alternative button of some sort? I am so bummed because I really want to stay connected with other homeschoolers (and Wordpress is being a pain!)
    Thanks!

    Hi Nikowa,

    I have the same problem as Christin, but I notice that there is javascript in the html code. I know that wordpress.com does not allow javascript. Is it possible to just have a text link to the blogroll?

    Thanks.

    Hi, I’m the supplemental homeschooling mom. My husband does the basics, but I homeschool art, history and science. Does that count? Oh, I also am the mom who does Paper Dali, by the way. Thanks for referring to it in one of your posts! : )
