Hi fellow bloggers!
Not only will this be another place to share your stories and wisdom, but I will also be using it as a way to share great blogging tips and products I’ve discovered. I know many of you ladies (and gentlemen!) are into blogging for the long haul, so I hope the information I provide becomes helpful. That being said, some recommended products may contain affiliate links, or come directly from my own business, Risen Upon Thee.
Also, if you have a blogging tip or product you’d love to feature in this linkup, please contact me! I would love to share your knowledge with everyone else, so we can all grow and help one another. I’ll also share a bit about your blog, testimony and mission online if you would like! Applicable to both contributors and non-contributors.

Please share only Christian related or homemaking posts here. Any links not in line with these topics will be removed. You are welcome to engage with the posts of other bloggers, but it is not required. If you would like to feature this linkup on your blog, use the button below! ๐

Now, without further delay… one of my top blogging tips!
See Your Blog’s Most Pinned Images
So many questions can pop into our heads about how to present our message most effectively online. While each brand or blog should stay true to the unique style that best fits itโs purpose, honing that style is what is key.
After a little research I was able to find this gem of a link that shows each blogger exactly what images from their site are being pinned. It is as follows:
http://pinterest.com/source/yoursite.com
Of course youโll want to replace โyoursite.comโ with your own URL, but this link will generate images most recently pinned from your site. By looking at the results, you can see what style of image is working best, and whatโs not.
eBook Releases
ALSO–two BT contributors have recently released awesome books on Amazon, and I’d like to give them a shout out ๐
FROM HORACE WILLIAMS JR:
Unleash the Power of Prayer in Your Life: A Power that Transforms Lives
Horace blogs over at Pleasing to the Potter, and is one of only two male contributors on BT (so he’s extra special). After suffering a stroke in 2010 that left the entire left side of his body paralyzed for a time, his relationship with God grew more intimate than he could have imagined. Because of what he’s gone through, Horace has learned a lot about prayer, and has now chosen to share it with the rest of us. Thank you Horace! โ โ โ โ โ
FROM SUE MOORE DONALDSON
Table Mentoring: A Simple Guide to Coming Alongside
Sue is quite possibly the queen of hospitality, because day in and day out, she is always practicing the spiritual gift among old friends, new friends and family. Her new book provides steps to help the new mentor and encouragement to bless the seasoned mentor, including a link to 10 downloadable worksheets to help you get started.
You will gain confidence and motivation to mentor and become mentored. We aren’t to journey this Christian life on our own, and Table Mentoring will help any believer come alongside to receive and give more of what God has to offer. Thanks Sue! โ โ โ โ โ
