What is the Where in the World Are You Tag?
Where in the world is the author of that great blog? Hopefully, this tag will help answer that question and provide some background info about the locales behind the blogs we love.
Nominations:
You are ALL nominated. The best part is that it is super quick and easy.
The goal is to get as many blogs involved as possible. Using the tag WhereIntheWorldAreYou will make it easy to find new blogs from interesting places.
The rules are simple
1. Share your location being as specific as you like. Just a country is fine.
2. If you wish, give a little info on your locality. Photos are a plus!
3. If you have a post about where you live, feel free to share the link.
4. Add the tag WhereIntheWorldAreYou
5. Post it to your blog replacing the country name after the title with yours.
That’s it. Only one question to answer and an optional essay. Just replace the info in your predecessor’s post with your own and set it free.
You can grab the header image here:
Where am I?
I’m mainepaperpusher from Cornville. Cornville is a tiny town in central Maine which is at the tippy top right corner of the United States, near Canada.
Cornville is a very rural town with no stores, restaurants or even a post office. The population is about 1200, and there is no center of town at all. Basically, if you blink you’ll drive right through it without even knowing it. You might do that even if you don’t blink!
If you want to know more about Cornville and see some photos, feel free to visit my guest post on Mohamad Al Karbi’s excellent blog here: The Town at the End of the Universe
Thanks to all for participating! ~mainepaperpusher Please pingback here so I can keep track Everyone Else Has the Best Titles

LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh! So essentially, people will type “mainepaperpusher” on their blog post when they do the tag and highlight your name to insert a link to this post. Then you get a notification to approve what looks like a comment but it’s a link to that person’s blog post that’s related to your tag. That’s a pingback. We’re pinging back to you to let you to give you credit and show we did your tag. Then if another person is browsing this post and wants to see other bloggers answers, they can click the link directly from your post. They call that a trackback.
LikeLiked by 1 person
So I didn’t need to ask them to tag it at all? Should I ask for a pingback for those of us who aren’t all that blog savvy? Sorry for being so dense.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Well you should get the credit since you created the tag. So there definitely should be a pingback especially since it’ll make it easier to click around and see other blogs from your comment section. But they can tag it as well should other people search the tag manually and decide to participate.
You’re not being dense at all. Happy to help 😀

That, I don’t think so. The pingbacks are random. However, what you could do maybe in a week or so is make an updated post listing out everyone that participated and pingback to all of us letting us know we were feature in your tag post. That’s the only workaround I can think of.

You are NOT a dodo! If I go into your blog and I scroll up and down, there is a little “button” in green lettering that says “following” because I’m following you already! It should just say “follow” since you aren’t following me yet. That was a long sentence to say something fairly simple. Sorry for that. If it’s not there, we’ll have to get a more experienced blogger in to help. Scroll up and down like a mad man! I’ll be smiling here imagining you doing it! 😉
