Stumble - Tweet - Like on Facebook - How To Use These Icons!

During your blog stalking time, we're guessing you run into the following icons quite a bit ... But do you click them?  :)  More importantly, why should you click on them?  We're going to discuss the ways these tiny little icons can do HUGE things for your favorite wedding blogs, style blogs, design blogs, food blogs, or any blog you are currently visiting on a weekly, daily, or hourly basis!

Starting with....

Stumble is our current FAVORITE icon to click :)  Just today, we stumbled the following links (which are really worth a visit and a stumble!)

• Green Wedding Shoes Cabo real wedding blog post
• Style Me Pretty Nautical Nantucket Wedding blog post
• 100 Layer Cake Chic London Bridal Style blog post

So, why use Stumble?  Stumble-ing your favorite blogs, blog posts, real wedding articles, etc can really help that blog grow.  It helps share the link with other 'stumblers' while growing traffic and helping all the wedding professionals who were involved in that post get more recognition!  It's really an amazing tool.  Getting a Stumble account takes 2 seconds and once you have one, the fun just continues!  You can go onto Stumble and find even more helpful links for your wedding planning :)  Here are our top 'stumbled stories:

• Arielle and David's real wedding article (currently 24K stumbles!!)
• Anthropologie Wedding inspired shoot (currently 14K stumbles!!)
• Moroccan Wedding inspired shoot (blog post) (currently 3,358 stumbles!!)

Getting started is easy and then once you have your Stumble account, all you have to do is click the icon on the blog post you love (or copy the link and go to the Stumble website to add it), add your review and tags, hit submit and voila!  You've just Stumbled and shared that link with thousands of other people :)

Twitter ... who isn't on Twitter these days?  :)  Tweeting a link to your Twitter friends is fun and a great way to pass on some wedding-worthy news!  Today, we tweeted the following links to our followers:

• A Merci New York Waterford giveaway @MerciNYC
• The Knotty Bride blog post Royal Wedding, etc @TheKnottyBride
• The Perfect Palette Sponsored by David's Bridal post @PerfectPalette

Gaining followers on Twitter has become all the rage ... It's a great way to help share what other blogs are doing!  Be sure and grab a Twitter account if you don't have one and then you, too can use the Twitter icon and tweet like crazy :)  Here is a link to some great blogs to follow on Twitter:  Our Adored Blogs

Ok, if you didn't already have a Stumble account or a Twitter account, our guess is you most definitely have a Facebook account and are addicted to it like we are ;)  'Liking' something on Facebook has become the easy and lazy way to let your friends know 'we're thinking about you' ... even if you don't have time to leave a comment.  Well, that powerful little 'like' button can do wonders for your favorite blog posts as well!  Here are the links we 'liked' on our Style Unveiled Facebook page today:

• The City Sage Killing it With Color blog post
• Elizabeth Anne Designs Rhode Island real wedding post
• Cannelle et Vanille Cape Gooseberries blog post

Hitting the 'like' button on blog posts as you browse is so convenient and really helpful to your fellow bloggers or just blogs you happen to adore :)

We hope this post helped you figure out ways to spread the word about all the hard work we as bloggers put forth to help bring the best of the best to your computer screens.  Clicking on any of the above icons (or all three of them) is a great way to say 'we noticed this and we LOVE it' ... and leaving a comment on the post is an awesome thing to do, too :)
