Wedding Blog

We’re fascinated by how social media like Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, and Kirtsy help people recommend and discover cool internet content (like Weddingbee! ).  So over the next couple of months, we’re going to be experimenting with these mediums to help some of our best blog posts gain visibility on the web.  We’re pretty new to all of this stuff, so we’ll be sharing what we learn as we go along.  Hopefully we can help you utilize social media to promote your own blog posts and businesses! 

When one of our posts gets “stumbled” by a lot of people, we often see a big increase in visitors, so we’ll start by explaining how StumbleUpon works.

Let’s say that you’ve just finished reading Miss Gloss’ fabulous DIY save the date post, and you want to share it with the world.  Head to stumbleupon.com to register for an account, then head back to Weddingbee and click the  icon under a particular post to “stumble” it.  Clicking the icon will take you to this page:

From there, just click on the THUMBS UP button, add a review of the post if you’d like, and you’ve just told the world that you think this post is great!  

What’s wonderful about StumbleUpon is that it takes what you like, and using that information, sends you to other websites that ‘people like you’ also like! It’s an amazing way to find new links and blogs you may love.  You can see what we at Weddingbee have stumbled by checking out our StumbleUpon account here!

You don’t need anything other than a membership to stumble, but to make stumbling really easy, you can download the SU toolbar that will make giving a thumbs up on any site incredibly simple!

We’ll be sharing links here for blog entries on Weddingbee that we think are “stumble worthy” on a regular basis, as well as watching for what you stumble around the web, so be sure to friend us!
