Calling all Kiwi Bloggers: Sweet New Zealand







Our NZ blogging community is growing, and I have spoken with other food bloggers about the idea of a monthly blogging event, just for fun, and to get to know each others better. Well, the response was very positive, with some bloggers even keen to host the event in the future (but don't be scared, hosting will never be a requirement, nor will be 'following').  So here we are: Sweet New Zealand! I thought that this title would be quite inclusive, as every food blogger has something sweet in his/her archives. And as requested by some of you I also kept the 'rules' to a minimum. Here they are:



1 This blogging event is open to all bloggers living in New Zealand and Kiwis living and/or blogging overseas. This is not a competition and there are no prizes or winners: it is just a way for Kiwi bloggers to connect and share recipes.

2 You can take part with anything sweet: cakes, fruit salads, biscuits, ice creams…You can write a new recipe or send the link for an old recipe, if you like, as long as the entry contains the phrase Sweet New Zealand, the banner (choose your own size), a link to the host, and to this post (so please update your old posts, if necessary).

3 Send your entry by the 28th of each month New Zealand time (25th for Feb.) to your host with:

                Your Name
                Your Blog Name and URL
                Your Post URL (and name of the recipe if it isn’t in the post title)
                A photo (not too large)

 Your host will publish recaps at the end of the month.

4 There are no more rules, so have fun!

  4. Si Astro, ma per i neozelandesi, visto che siamo all'inizio con il food blogging e dobbiamo imparare a conoscerci. Spiacente se lascio fuori gli italiani e gli altri, ma qualcuno doveva cominciare qui :-).

  16. These are games that either appeal to the fun, family side of her or her innate
    desire to control the pathetic life of someone else
    in the case of the Sims. Ask yourself, "when was the last time I took a walk on the wild side. Maybe the girl keeps a specific thing in her handbag.

    Here is my blog post; viagra fuck meds phentermine
