The ((HUGS)) are spreading

I'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who's joining in the fun of spreading ((HUGS)) around blogs. I've come across a few cynical people, but to be honest I think they need the hugs even more.

Some people seem to be having problems with the buttons, but I'm not sure how else to explain the best way to put them on your sidebar, but don't worry about it.

A big welcome to new Huggers
Kelsey
Dr Maroon
Chase

And extra special huge ((HUGS)) for
Sneki
Sherry
Sam, Problem-Child Bride
Kim
D34dPuppy
For linking here :)

((HUGS))

UPDATE
For all those who are struggling with my explanation of how to put one of the buttons in your sidebar, Sherry has given an alternate explanation that probably makes a great deal more sense (click on this sentence) - Thanks Sherry ((HUGS))

Even Bigger Hugs!

Sometimes you have an idea and part of you gets really excited by it, and another part of you thinks it could never work. A couple of days ago I set up this blog and started randomly spreading hugs around blogs.

I started with a couple of sites I've visited before, and followed some of the links in the sidebars. Sometimes I would click on commenters and leave a hug on their site. Sometimes I just hit "Next Blog" a the top of the page and see where it takes me.

The response has been amazing.

So I have an EXTRA BIG ((HUG)) for Jennifer, who was the first to respond and brave enough to leave a comment which really helped break the ice for everyone else.

I have HUGE ((HUGS)) for:
Justice Fergie
Eryl
Savannah
Calabar Gal
Joke Mail
Kate
Kim
Her Indoors
Tara Marie
Ice
Neighbour
Ange
Kelsey
who have all responded to my first wave of ((HUGS))

And there are BONUS ((HUGS)) for
Savannah
Calabar Gal
Joke Mail
Her Indoors
Kate
for putting links on their sites and spreading the ((HUGS))

You are all truly wonderful people who are helping to spread a bit of warmth in a cynical world.

Bigger Hugs!

Welcome to Bigger Hugs!

Sometimes we all need a hug, and bloggers are no different. We sit at our computers, reading, maybe leaving comments, but it's a solitary exercise.

If you'd like a hug with no strings attached, then leave a comment. Come back within 24 hours and you'll find a hug waiting for you.

If you'd like to spread the hugs, then do put one of the buttons on your site.

Thank you for visiting - here's a big hug for you:

Bigger Hugs Buttons

If you would like to put a button on your site to make it easier to click through for a hug whenever you need one, then select the button you want below and copy and paste the code into your sidebar and change the square brackets [ ] for angular ones < >
