New Blogging-for-Books Buttons

~ Bob Hayton ~ 2 Comments

I recently created a few blog buttons for the blogging-for-books programs I participate in. Tyndale House and Thomas Nelson (now Book Sneeze), have their own buttons. I made some new ones for NavPress, Reformation Trust, Bethany House and Waterbrook Multnomah. Check out my blog sidebar, and feel free to steal my buttons.

Copy the image and display it on your blog (you may need to set the width to work with your blog better). Then if you haven’t joined any of these programs, click on the links to sign up. When you get accepted feel free to then steal the button and display it on your blog. Do make sure it links to the correct blog review program.

This is a way we can spread the word about blogging for books, and also help out the publishers that make these great programs available to us bloggers. To learn more about blogging for books, check out this post.

Sometime on Sunday Nov. 29th, winners will be selected to receive the six books he’s giving away. So be sure to go over and comment on his post for a chance to win. He’s giving away some good titles, you’ll want to go take a peek. Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you all! And thanks, Shaun, for some book giveaway fun.
