However, Blogtoberfest is just around the corner. So, without further ado may I present to you the 2010 Blogtoberfest button.
It's designed by the very talented and creative Kellie from 74 Lime Lane and I absolutely love it. Thank you so much Kellie. I'm so grateful to the creative peeps who help with Blogtoberfest every year.
To put the button on your blog the first thing you need to do is download the version of the button that you want:
- Go to the Blogtoberfest set in my Flickr account
- Pick the size and style of button that suits you best and click on that image (there's two large and two small versions)
- Click on the actions tab above the photo and select view all sizes
- Download the original size photo and save it to your computer
Ok, now to uploading the button to your blog (these are instructions for blogger, which is all I know):
- Go to the design or layout area of your blog
- Click on the add a gadget tab
- Choose picture and upload the picture from where you saved it on your computer
- In the link section add my blog address http://tinniegirl.blogspot.com so that the button links back to {tinniegirl}
If you happen to be new to {tinniegirl} or Blogtoberfest then pop over to the Blogtoberfest page where you can read all about it. Essentially though, it's simple. All you have to do is post daily to your blog in October and you're playing.
Easy peasy! You're all set to go.
Last item of business for today. Blogtoberfest couldn't happen without CurlyPops. Once again she'll be the queen of the giveaways. To get the scoop on giveaways this year pop over to the special page over at CurlyPops.
I'm not going to say too much today about the whole event. I'll save some special musings for tomorrow. Do pop by and throw your hat in the ring for the first of my weekly Friday giveaways. I've got something extra special planned.
OK, let the fun begin. Are you in?

I can't believe Im first in I was about 200th on last years list ;)
Very excited to be joining once again!
Yay!!! It’s underway this is exactly the kick up the pants I need in blogging at the moment…..
I'm filled with excitement, and trepidation!
I must reiterate my possible early mark due to the small matter of having a baby - but even with that on the horizon I couldn't miss out on Blogtoberfest - I credit it with finally getting me properlly into a blogging groove & finding a bit more joy & interaction in it. Plus, soon I won't want to do much more than sit here like a lump & move (feebly) my mouse clicking finger.... ;)
definitely in! Will be my third year now (she says confidently and hoping this is correct and it is the third year running?...looking forward to getting my blogging mojo back...
I'm in!
Wohoo! So excited to be a part of blogtoberfest again this year! I have plenty of things planned as well!
I promised myself I would do it this year and I am determined to try my best!

I'm pretty new to blogland, so a little bit scary to sign up, but what the hey, I'll do my best, sounds like fun! Nice to meet you all! Jules x
As the big day approaches I'm a little excited myself.
The fun starts again!
Hi. I've joined up but not promising to be a perfect supporter this year as my stress levels may be a bit high for non stop blogging. Still love to be part of the excitement though. I've already gone out and taken at least half a weeks worth of photos so that twill help. Thanks for organising this yet again! Cherrie
I'm in again, hoping it may inspire me to do some more knitting. I hope I can do everything, I have some pretty stressful stuff happening towards the end of the month and already I'm a bit jittery, but I figure that it could be a good distraction for me.
Holey moley, I'm still toing and froing but it was such fun last year so I'm just gonna do my best and see how I go.
Thanks so much for being the hostess with the mostess again MsTG.
Yippee! I'm a little late thismorning but I'm in!
I'm feeling a bit nervous about whether I'll keep up, but going to give it my best! thanks for hosting!
I have got out of the habit of blogging so I'm going to use this challenge to make it a daily ritual. I hope you other girls can help me out.
Thanks for hosting.
Okay NOW I've committed. I just hope I can think of something worthwhile on a daily basis. I'm sure all the rest of you will give me heaps of inspiration.
Great idea thanks for hosting.
well, this is my first blogtoberfest and i hope i can do it :) i'm looking forward to it!!
here goes nuthin!
Hello everyone!! Looking forward to this but I'm feeling such a big girls' blouse because I can't even get the button to work....when I click Add Gadget in Blogger it doesn't give me a picture option - just a link option - and then it tells me the link is broken - can anyone help the luddite please?
God, I hope I can do this! At least I'm going to give it a whirl.
@ Luvvie, no idea. I hope someone else has an idea. :-)
I missed out last year, bit slow getting organised. This year I'm so looking forward to the challenge.....wooohooo!!!
this is my first blogtoberfest and just the thing to help with my lack of mojo!!! thanx so much for hosting x

I'm very excited about joining again this year! I'm already planning out my blog posts!!!
Hey I forgot all about this.....I'm glad I popped in. Bloggerfest bring it on :)
Sorry that is meant to be Blogtoberfest.....see I am already too excited!!!
Going to give it a go. I've made a blogging list to give me some inspiration, so lets see if it works! Maybe some double and triple wammy posts will be reqired to fill the gaps.
Well I've committed. Hope the other competing challenges in my life co-operate so I can keep up.
I'm going to borrow Betty Jo's idea and make a list too! Here I go....
Hey there!
Darn... I would spell my name wrong on the link list. Well, that's just how it goes. :)
I am super excited to be joining Blogtoberfest! I think it will be a lot of fun, some work, but lots of fun!

Hi!
This is my first year of blogging and my first blogtoberfest. Thanks to Vic (punky&me) for pointing me here :)
Holy hell.. I just signed up. 31 blog posts in one month is going to be INTENSE... but I'm looking forward to it!! The challenge has been set! And considering I live in Australia, it's already October and I need to start thinking about what I'm going to blog about this upcoming week. Today's post is easy... post about Blogtoberfest hehe.
great start to the month ! thx :)
I'm in!!!
Against my better judgement, I'm in! Here goes...
can't wait to get to know everyone a little better
:) We are in.
We will also be tweeting blog posts (and looking for tweets) with the #blogtoberfest hashtag on Twitter (we are @moagsandsmeet).
~ Laura (Moags)
I joined erroneously with my Swedish blog to begin with (#142) but then decided that the English version would be more suitable.
Can't wait to get to know everyone!
(PS if you can remove my first entry it's ok with me)
I think i can. I think I can. I think I can ... I think i can blog every day for Blogtober ....
I'll certainly give it a shot!
I'm hopefully up for the challenge! I'll give it a darn good go that's for sure :)
P.s. signing up on Oct 1st. Here's hoping that's not too late!
Have signed up cos the last blog I created was 10 August and I set the blog up to help me think what Ihave been doing with myself,family and scrapping creations thank you for the incentive :)
Hi! This is my first year participating in Blogtoberfest. I'm looking forward to the challenge. Thanks for hosting!

Thank you so much for hosting I'm looking forward to the challenge again this year I'm only a day late so I'm sure I can catch up;) Looking forward to visiting lots of new places.:)
I'm in .... yay!
I'm in, just what my neglected blog needs! :)
im definatley in again!!! i had so much fun last year!
I'm in! :)
OK, driving me totally crazy but blogger will not link from the photo to tinniegirl. It gives me the same trouble every time I try to do this and I just get it right this time. Any ideas ... what do you do to? Do you highlight the html or highlight nothing? I've been tyring to days and just cannot do it based on Cathy's instructions ... perhaps it's something to do with my machine. Any and all help is much appreciated.
oh yay! I am in (been blogging but hadn't signed up eek)
so needing this virtual mojo kick up the bum.
Thanks for hosting us all again,
I'm a couple of days late as the result of a crafting weekend away from internet access, but am about to set everything up and I posted on my blog the moment I got home
I'm a little late (weekend craft fair was busy, busy) but at least this year I knew about blogtober at the beginning of the month rather than the end!! looking forward to joining in, visiting other blogs and giving my blog a much needed boost. thanks for hosting....
So looking forward to this challenge. Hope I make it to the end even if blog matter gets a little thin!!
OKay so I gave in and joined!! 1st time so i hope i go okay will try to have interesting stuff :-)
Eeyore frets.... and Tigger bounces... and Owl pontificates... Pooh just is. And I hope I'm not too late!
Oh no missed a day already. Come on, focus, you can do this!! A marathon indeedXx
Hmm, Does it still count if I didn't start until the 3rd?
....is the list somewhere where I don't know where it is....?! I popped over to see who had signed up late & go a-visiting, but no list...?
That it I thought I was too late and Madame Curlypop convinced me that it was still ok!!
So here I am better late than never :) xx
late to the game but going to make a solid try
hallo, I haven't understood what I have to. could you please explain me? thanks and hugs
so far so good on keeping up the daily blogging!!!
