Meet the Clickers

Clickers? What the hell are Clickers? In the world of blogging, you are the reporters, covering all the news in your world. Clickers are merely going from blog to blog, gathering news so we can compile it in the newsletter and point people towards your blog when you have something exciting happening or when you need a bit of support. Everyone is still encouraged to send in their own news as it happens, but Clickers are also reading through the infertility and pregnancy loss blogosphere to make sure everyone who needs support is getting support.

Each Clicker has his or her own beat (and some have more than one) that they cover. Read through the list to find the Clicker that is covering your blog. That way, you know who to thank if news from your blog shows up in the newsletter...

Want to be a Clicker? The more the merrier. Email Melissa at thetowncriers@gmail.com if there is an open beat to get added to the list.

Mel, am I still a clicker? Or are you replacing everyone?
