Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I have had a private blog for years and have many blogs I follow, but I have a question. it seems so many bloggers write "7 quick takes". Is it just a method to get people writing? How, where, and by whom did the 7 quick takes get started? Are they all linked?

Conversion Diary, written by Jennifer Fulwiler, is the "home" of 7 Quick Takes. What you do is you write your post, link to Conversion Diary's Quick-Takes post of the week at the bottom, and then provide a link to your post in the link-up widget on her page. Then leave a comment on her post.

I haven't done them in a long time -- I haven't blogged in a long time -- but it's a fun way to get a lot of bloggers together, read each other's posts, and attract more traffic to your blog.

So, that's the Quick Takes deal!

Sally

I do Quick Takes occasionally and don't always link back to Conversion Diary. It's a good way to get my blogging juices flowing.
