#KCACOLS – 11th July 2021

Welcome back to #KCACOLS. We had 15 linkups last time! THANK YOU ALL so much for being part of the linky! I really appreciate your support. For new people joining us this week, I really hope you like #KCACOLS and that you come back again next time! You can also find out more about this linky on the #KCACOLS linky page! 🙂

PLEASE READ

Please remember that this linky is all about commenting hence the reward of being featured. I cannot chase people individually. That is why I send the “Thank You Email” so people can check the list and also make sure if they have been mentioned so they can go back to the linky and do their commenting.

ALSO, PLEASE remember to comment on the co-hosts and host posts. We are allowed to change our posts on the following Saturday after the linky is live. So, please be aware of these changes during the second week. There are a lot of people that are skipping the first 4 posts which is very disappointing. These posts are part of the required comments, so please don’t skip them. 

Remember that FRIDAY NIGHT is the deadline for all comments. 

ALSO PLEASE READ

We will have a 2-week break over the Summer. We will be back on Saturday 7th August. I, therefore, hope to see you all back for a new link up sharing posts of your lovely summer holidays.

These have been busy weeks for my girls. They finish school next week so last week was full of day trips, class parties and Sports Days. It is the last year of Primary School for Bella so it has been emotional. They will have a leaving assembly on Tuesday and I am certain I will be having some tears. I can’t believe this chapter is closing for her and she will be starting Secondary School in September.

We’ve also been enjoying the football and looking forward to watching England play Italy in the Final tomorrow.

Each linkup, I love sharing a photo from my last 2 weeks on Instagram, so here is my favourite:

KCACOLS CROWD FACEBOOK GROUP

THANK YOU to all of you that have joined the #KCACOLS CROWD Facebook Group. You can join us here. Also if you do join, please send me a direct message with the name of your blog so then I know who you are without having to figure out your blog name 🙂

NOW BACK TO THE LINKY

If you are not already subscribed to be informed of new KCACOLS Linky emails, you can click the button below to subscribe:

Send Me #KCACOLS New Linky Notifications

We had 15 linkups! On Thursday we had 12 posts that needed more comments. By Friday night (deadline for commenting) we managed to reduce this number to 5 posts.

Regarding the people that have not commented on the post before theirs, we got 1 person on Thursday but the issue was a missing hashtag so all good now.

Also, remember to comment on the co-hosts posts. Please also be aware that I’m BLOCKING URLs/Emails of people that have joined the linky and have not commented on any posts for consecutive weeks. If you find I have blocked you by mistake, please contact me.

I also wanted to say that I will need all your comments to be done by Friday as I won’t be doing any counting on Saturdays anymore. So Friday Night will be the deadline for all comments from now on. 

LINKY TWEETS 

I’m not tweeting individual people once the linky is live but I will tweet the people that have been featured and mentioned. I’ll also post a link to the new linky post on the KCACOLS Facebook Group, pin it on my Twitter account and on my Facebook page together with some generic tweets. I will of course, email all of you the link. If you could also share it by clicking the link below that would be FABULOUS!

Tweet Me!

Thank you so much for all your comments on the host posts and the linky post. We will do our best for you to receive a comment from someone on behalf of the linky (either the co-hosts or me).

Now let’s carry on with the linky:

RULES:

Every 2 weeks I will choose 6 people who have commented A LOT on the linky. Three will be featured and another three will be mentioned in my fortnightly Saturday linky post. This means that 6 people will get a backlink on my new linky post every other Saturday!

1. Be sure to grab the #KCACOLS badge which can be found below or on my sidebar. Simply copy the code from the box below the badge and add it to the text/html at the bottom of your post or place it on your blog sidebar.

2. You can link up to 2 posts. I recommend you to link up one post each week to get the most of the linky. 

3. Any subject is welcomed but please keep it family-friendly. No graphic violence, explicit sexual content, etc. You can link up posts that are old or new. You are allowed to link up another linky ONLY if it is a promotional post about the linky and you can do this only once and I expect you to put my badge or a link to my linky and of course to follow the rules regarding commenting. 

4. Comment on:

• one of the hosts’ posts (choose one that you would like to comment). 
• the guest co-hosts posts.
• the post which is linked up immediately before yours.
• and finally, any other post that you would like to comment on.

That way everybody receives at least two comments (one from the host/guest co-hosts and one from others).

5. This linky will be open every other Saturday from 10 pm and will remain open until the following 2nd Wednesday at 08.00 pm or until we reach 100 link ups, whichever comes first.

6. If you would like us to tweet your post that is absolutely fine, just tweet your link to me @WithFranca, NANCY @AroundWeekend  and MALIN @senlearnuk and we will retweet it. Please remember to use the hashtag #KCACOLS.

7. Finally, if you could please follow A Moment With Franca (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube) that would be fantastic!! 😉

I look forward to reading and commenting on your posts!! 🙂
