For the 17th month of Ohio Blogging Association programming, I decided it was best to give everyone a night off and to schedule another virtual meeting. Just as we did with November’s Blog Swap, I scheduled another swap for this month, but this time opening it up to the entire state of Ohio and all its fine bloggers.
“What’s a blog swap?” you ask? Think of it as guest posting on another person’s blog. I asked the network of OBA bloggers to RSVP over at Facebook if they were interested in participating. From there I took all the participants, randomly paired them together and encouraged them to swap blogs on Monday, May 21st – that’s today!!

Thanks for organizing the swap Alicia. Everyone wrote really good articles.
I tried to comment on all the posts, but have to admit I struggle when it won’t allow me to just use my email address to comment. When you don’t have WordPress, Google, AIM, LiveJournal, etc, it’s a challenge.
If anyone have a simple solution for this problem, I’d love to know!
There seems to be a little bit of an alcohol trend among Ohio Bloggers….
Thanks for all of your hard work.
