Congratulations To Our Top 5 Community Builders

We Rise Quote

Happy 2016 to you! When we talk about the New Year, we often talk about setting goals for ourselves, but we rarely take time to think about and clarify our values.

Why do you do the things that you do? What values do you want to promote and exemplify during the upcoming year?

One of my top values at Create With Joy is developing creative communities and cultivating meaningful connections among bloggers. I currently host several community events a week, and in 2016, I plan to launch a few specialty events to deepen our relationships even further!

What’s the secret to successfully attending a party? Don’t link and run! Strive to connect with a few existing blogging friends and make a few new friends each week! Leave a meaningful comment each time you visit a party so that the hostess gets to know you – and visit your fellow bloggers so you grow your community as well!

To kick off the New Year, I’d like to introduce you to this year’s Top 5 Community Builders at Create With Joy! Each of these five fabulous bloggers have gone out of their way to connect and to build a relationship with me through the fine art of blog commenting and social media sharing – which I am happy to reciprocate!

2015 Top 5 Active Commenters

I’ll be featuring these bloggers in the weeks to come at Friendship Friday – but for now, be sure to stop by and say hello – I know they’d each be delighted to meet you!

Now It’s Your Turn To Share!

We’d love the opportunity to get to know you better and to feature you in an upcoming edition of Friendship Friday!

What’s one value that’s particularly important to you as a blogger?
Please share your thoughts in the comments!

Be sure to link to us and spread the love by sharing our Friendship Friday party with all of your friends!

Remember – building community and developing friendships is what Friendship Friday is all about!

Don’t Miss These Opportunities!

    I always enjoy all your parties and look forward to stopping by every week to see what all the wonderful bloggers are linking. I wish you nothing but the best in this new year! Thank you for the shout out!!

  6. Hello! I think that what I value the most as a blogger is, firstly, the opportunity to get to know other like-minded people from all over the world (something I’m keen to do more of in 2016) and secondly, I value that blogging allows me a little space for expression and creativity. Thank you for hosting this link-up each week; you have so many great link-ups I’m often not sure where to start! Blessings to you.

    Happy Friday! Thank you for the chance to share and connect with others. The link-up tips were helpful too. After blogging for over a year, I discovered these linky parties and have been having a blast making new friends, as I learn along the way. So the pointers are much appreciated 🙂

    Twice in one week. Are you shocked? *lol*

    What program gives you that # of times a person has commented on your blog, if I can ask, Ramona?

      Hi LuAnn,

      If you are on WordPress, the JetPack plug-in provides a year-in summary report with all sorts of cool statistics! 🙂
      That is one of the stats it provides!

  13. Fabulous idea to try subscription boost. (I am already a subscriber to your blog though). Have a wonderful week!

      Happy New Year to you Eva! So glad that you subscribe! It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done an e-mail boost so I thought I’d start the year with that for those who could use it! 🙂

  14. Anne says:

    Awww you’re such a sweetheart for letting me know I’m the fourth highest commentator on your blog. Woo Hoo I had no idea except it could be because you’re such a sweetie how can I stay away! For today though back to bed for this sickie! My doctor calls it strep flu and I call it miserable. I woke up four times last night coughing what little brains I have out. This cough is driving me bonkers. Have a great weekend my friend. Happy New Year, take your vitamins, get your proper rest, eat right and stay away from sickies like me. 🙁 WHERE’S THE LYSOL DAVE? GOT TO SPRAY THE HOUSE AGAIN AND KILL DUH GERMS!!!!!! 🙁 CYBER HUGS ARE OKAY SO HUGSSSSSSSSSSS

  19. We absolutely do rise by building others – that is so true! Again, I’m sorry I’ve been away for a few weeks but I’m hoping to return next week. I kind of got swallowed up over Christmas with so much going on 🙂 Thank you for sharing the Friendship Friday community at Hearth and Soul!
