I tend to stick pretty close to my existing group of friends. The funny thing is, though, I met loads of my friends online in various forums and sites. Lately I’ve made an effort to meet some new people online. Not in a match.com kind of way. More like a networking and friends kind of way. If you’re looking for some new blogs to follow and new bloggers to connect with, I’d suggest participating in a blog hop.
This month, I joined in a Twitter hop and a Facebook hop. Basically, it means you visit the sites that are linked up, and you can check out what others are posting on social media and their blogs. Here are the two I participated in. Do you have other blog hops or link up sites you use to connect with others online?

Hi there, stopping by from Life at 523. I am loving your blog, and I started following you on google. I just adore linky parties, it’s such a great way to find new bloggers and friends.
