Welcomistas.

Hi Ladies,

After much consideration, we've decided to end the way the Welcomistas currently functions.

With the way the comments on SITS now allow for nested replies, Kat, Fran and I have been welcoming newbies quickly and easily.

Having said that, we of course, would love and appreciate any commenting you continue to do on behalf of SITS. We'd also love to see you in the blog frog community- if any of you have an interest in being a community lead over there- we switch it up each month.

SITS huge growth over the past year (we are over 7,000 strong!) is largely impart to your effort, so THANK YOU.

I'd especially like to thank Jen, who really kept things moving.

I'll be taking this site down shortly, of course, you can email me with any questions- sitsgirls@gmail.com

xoxo

Re-evaluation

I just wanted to post a little update so that you all know what is going on. I have been talking with Tiffany and Heather about the future of the Welcomistas. To me, it just doesn't seem like people are out there going around and commenting on the lists. There are 60 some people following this blog and only 5 to 10 actively comment.

So for the summer, we are going to take a little break. I will be making lists and posting them about every other week or so. And then come fall, we are going re-evaluate things like maybe make a post on BlogFrog instead. I don't know, we are still brain stroming. If you have any ideas, let me/us know.

I now just want to say thank you to everyone who does go around and comment. And please, this post is in no means meant to make people feel gulity about not being able to get around. We all have a life and have to live that first. I just love SITS and everything that it stands for. So I want other people to know about it and feel the same love and support that SITS has given me. Its all about supporting each other and making people feel like they are apart of something big.

So I wish everyone a great summer and I will post a new list on Monday.

~Jen

Short and Sweet

Not sure what happened as to why there was not a list posted this weekend but I thought I would quick put a small one together. Also, since its summer and we all seem to be busier in the summer, I thought that for now we should go back to smaller lists. Any thought?

So without further ado here is a short but sweet list.

New Lists (June 6)

Sorry for the delay! Quick note on SITS badges - 11 of these 50 bloggers do not have a SITS badge (22%)!! Do we want to:
1.) Not visit them (maybe they no longer wish to participate and thus removed their badges?)
2.) Visit them and when we comment ask them to add a badge?
3.) Send an email asking to add a badge.

But while I'm complaining about badgeless blogs, I should note that I'm not a big badge fan and was hesitant myself in adding a SITS badge because I don't post any badges of any kind on my blog. But I did add the badge - but at the bottom of the page. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.

**This week's list brings us up to April 7th.

Have a great week, Erin

New lists, covering the period of "that" NYT article, which has brought us a few new members.

There were a couple of ladies (Ms. Mary Mack and Feminizzle) who have text links back to SITS, but no button. I wasn't sure whether to encourage them to put up the button...?

"New" SITStas To Welcome

Hi ladies! I did notice that there were a few Welcomistas on the list from last week and yes, the list may seem a bit old. It was from January and has brought us up to February this week. So, we may be welcoming some SITStas that have been with us for a few months. But, the important thing is, we are spreading the SITS love. Because SITS is growing so rapidly,  I am not sure that we will ever actually get "caught up", but we will do our best to make sure everyone gets a warm SITS welcome regardless of when the joined. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Just a Quick Update

Ladies,

I am working on the lists for this weekend but I just wanted to put this post out there because I need to get an organized list of people willing to make the lists for this blog.

It appears to me that list of 50 works well so I am thinking this will be our new standard. If you are in charge of making the lists it will be for one months time. Also, this means that Tiffany will put your blog button on the SITS site for the time you are in charge of the lists.

If this is something that you want to do, please send me an email. The list that I had is a little out of date and with all the new people around here, I wanted to update things.

Thanks.

~Jen
