Flip Flop Swap: Blog Edition

You may have heard about the Flip-Flop Swap chain letter, and perhaps even participated in it. Well, it's about to become viral, with your help! Originating on The Mis-Adventures of a Modern Day Farmer's Wife (hey, that's me), the rules are slightly different, but in the end, you'll send out one pair of flip-flops and get a whole bunch back in the mail from your blog readers. It's based on the honor system, and it's called The Flip-Flop Swap: Blog Edition!


Here's how it works:

1. Write a post on your blog about the Flip-Flop Swap. Grab the code for the button above by clicking on it, and include it at the top of your post. Switch the email address (in step #3) to your own, and list the rules, describing how it works, and linking back to the blog you found this swap on (in your case, it's The Mis-Adventures of a Modern Day Farmer's Wife [since I'm starting it]). Feel free to copy and paste this exact post - just be sure to change the email address in step #3 to your own, and use my blog's name in the previous sentence.

2. Add your name to the McLinky list below. This is just to track how far and wide the Flip-Flop Swap: Blog Edition has traveled. Make sure you add the McLinky code to your post, too.

3. Once you have published the post, email me: farmerswife06@hotmail.com, and request my mailing address. I will check your blog to make sure you have posted about this swap (a sign of good-faith, and verifies that you're not some creepy blog troll). Then I'll send you my address and shoe size. You mail me a pair of flip-flops - it's the only pair of flip-flops you'll have to buy. Please make them good quality flip-flops - some of those cheap flip-flops are only worth what you pay for them (and yes, I'm referencing Old Na.vy).

4. For everyone that re-posts your "Flip-Flop Swap" post (using their own email address), they'll be coming back to you, requesting your address, and sending you flip-flops. If you don't think they're legit, you have the choice to not release your personal address to them - your only loss is that you won't get a pair of flip-flops from that person. Remember: Safety is always #1. Also, if you've received enough flip-flops to satisfy your flip-flop needs, just stop giving out your mailing address. That's the beauty of it. You have all the control in how many flip-flops come your way.

5. The more people that read your post and re-post it on their own blog, the more flip-flops you can receive.

6. While it's not mandatory, feel free to blog and post pictures of the flip-flops you receive from your bloggy friends.

7. Let's flip-flop this blogosphere on its head, and spread the bloggy love! =)
