Welcome back toย #KCACOLS.ย I hope you all had 2 fantastic weeks. We didย FANTASTICย withย 114 link ups!ย THANK YOUย ALLย so much for being part of theย linky! I really appreciate your support. For new peopleย 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 inย the #KCACOLS linky page!ย ๐
As most of you know, I am at the end of my holidays. We have been in Cornwall and have had a wonderful time. The weather was kind to us for theย first part of the week,ย which was unexpected so we madeย the most of it but the rest of the weekย wasn’t as goodย with lots of rain, wind and cold. But despite the bad weather, we all had a lovely time with the family. I’m currently preparing the linky in a Travelodge, as we have stopped half wayย on our wayย back to London. Tomorrow will be heading back straight home and returning to normal life. So sad!
Each link up, I love sharing a couple of photos from my last 2 weeks on Instagram, so here areย two of my favourites:
#KCACOLS ON INSTAGRAM
Thank you so much forย using the #KCACOLS hashtag onย Instagram for all your photos. There areย nowย 5,247 photos!ย Yay! It is lovely to see all your photos there! I would love it if more of you could use the hashtag for your photos and of course it wouldย be even better if we allย also spread some love there! As I mentioned before, I am featuring 2ย photos from the community that haveย caught my eye since the last link up.
This time I’m featuring photos by:
- ย SARAHย from Surrey Mamaย
AND
ย ย ย 2. HANNAHย from Mrs Morgan Plus 3
KCACOLS CROWD FACEBOOK GROUP
THANK YOUย to all of you that have joined the #KCACOLS CROWD Facebook Group.ย 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 toย figure out your blog name 🙂
NOW BACK TO THE LINKY
We had a bad couple of weeks regarding the commenting. We had the biggest number of posts that needed more comments! I was so sad but we also had some unexpected in-house problems which caused this delay so I would like to apologise for that but as I mentioned in my Thank You email sometimes things happen and we have to give priority to our lives. Also as you know, I have been away on holidays withย limited wifi, so it was very hard for me to oversee the linky. But I can confirm now, that all the posts have received a comment from someone on behalf of the linky. Also, I still have not been able to share on Twitter and pin my section which I will do between today and tomorrow, so sorry about that.
By Thursday this week, we had about 74 posts that needed more comments and by Saturday afternoon this number was reduced to 35. We had about 17 people that hadn’tย commented on the post linked up before theirs on Thursday butย this was reduced to 8ย by Saturday afternoon. Today, I reminded people about commenting again and that number has been reduced a lot! Lots of comments are still in moderation. All posts have a minimum of 3 comments which is great so the majority have more than 4 comments which is always very nice to see!

DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE NEW CHANGESย TO THE LINKY The linky is a fortnightly linky. It will be open for 2 weeks until the second Wednesday at 8 pmย or until weย reach 150 link ups, whichever comes first.ย The rules will be the same, the only difference is the amount of time that the linky will be open for. The co-hosts and I will be allowed to change our posts on the following Saturday after the linky is live. Please be aware of these changes during the second week. I wouldย suggest that you link up one post each week soย you will be able to share something different and current each week. I will also be more strict regarding commenting on the post before yours.ย |
LINKY TWEETSย
Iโm not tweeting individual people once the linky is live but I will tweet the people that have been featured and mentioned. Iโll also post a link to the new linky post on the Facebook Group, pin it on my Twitter account and on my Facebook page together with some generic tweets. And of course, I will email all of you the link. If you could also share it by clicking the link below that would be FABULOUS!

PLEASE REMEMBER

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR NEW LINKERS: PLEASEย STARTย with commentingย onย the post linked up before yours FIRST and then comment on any other posts as much as you would like. Also, use the hashtagย #KCACOLSย when commenting (this is indeed very important so I can then see how many comments you are doing and then be able to featureย you in my linky post which is always great for youย as you get a backlink whichย helps improve your DA). |
Thank you so much for all your comments onย the host posts and the linky post. As always, I have read and liked all your comments! We willย do our best for you toย receive a comment from someone on behalfย of the linky (either the co-hosts or me).

Please do not forget to follow and check out the #KCACOLS Pinterest Board. Weย have pinned all your posts from last week’sย linkyย so please go and have a look. There are some great posts that deserve a read!
Now let’s carry on with the linky:
NEW RULES:
Every 2 weeks Iย will choose 6 people who have commented A LOTย within the linky. Three will be featuredย and another three will be mentionedย on 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 toย grab theย #KCACOLS badgeย 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.ย You can link up to 2 posts. I recommend you to link up one post each week to get the most of the linky.ย
3. You can share anything that you would like. It is open to absolutely any subject and also you can link up posts that are old or new.ย 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.ย
4. Comment on:
- one of the hosts’ posts (choose one that you would like to comment).ย
- the monthly guest co-host post.
- the guest co-hosts posts.
- the postย which is linked up immediately before yours.
- and finally, any other post that you would like to comment on.
That way everybody receivesย at least twoย 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 150 link ups, whichever comes first.
6. If you would like usย to tweet your post that is absolutely fine, just tweet your link to me @WithFranca, Tracey @frazzledmumblog, Alanaย @BurnishedChaos and Kim @oddhoggย and weย will retweet it. Please remember to use the hashtag #KCACOLS.
7. Finally, if you could please follow A Moment With Franca (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterestย ,ย Bloglovin,ย Google+ย andย YouTube)ย that would be fantastic!! ๐
I look forward to reading and commenting your posts!! ๐
