I started this list after I had been blogging for just over a year. There are so many things I have enjoyed about writing my blog, but one of my favourite things was joining in with linky‘s.
For non bloggers, Linkys are posts with the same theme, one person hosts and other bloggers link their posts to the hosts page. They’re a fantastic way of finding new blogs, supporting other bloggers and getting your blog some exposure.
Quite often I would here people saying they didn’t know when the different linky’s were on, or they forgot. So I thought I would try to help out and so I compiled a list (which you can download below) of linkys.
While I have tried to include everyone, I am sure there are a fair few I have missed off/don’t know about. If so feel free to email me at aby@youbabymemummy.com with the details and I will add them the next update.
The details I need are linky title, hosting blog, the day it goes live and what the linky is about. Please don’t tweet additions as they can get lost on my timeline.
At one point, I used to do A LOT of linkys — sixteen a week! My weekly favourites over the years have been
- The Ordinary Moments (What The Redhead Said)
- Magic Moments (The Oliver’s Madhouse)
- Living Arrows (What The Redhead Said)
- The Happy Days Linky (What Katy Said/Quite Frankly She Said)
- Tried & Tested (My Family Fever/Going on an Adventure)
- Word of the week (The Reading Residence)
- The Black & White photography project (Podcast Dove)
- My Sunday photo (Photalife)
Phew!
So without further ado, pop your email below if you would like me to send you a copy of the linky list to print out at home.
If you see any that aren’t running any more or have a new one to add please email aby@youbabymemummy.com

I link to quite a few of these too but I think I will head over to some I haven’t seen before and have a look about. There are so many to choose from and link up to now I find it a bit over whelming sometimes #mmwbh

For any aspiring writers out there, you can link up your short stories or extracts with me every Friday. It’s called Friday Fiction (took me ages to think that up!)
Author
Oh I will add it when I do an update x
Thanks, that would be great.
I could kiss you right now, seriously I could! 🙂 This is brilliant, thanks ever so much for collating and sharing this. It must have taken you an AGE, but will be so useful to everyone. You’re a blogging angel! x
#thelist
Author
Ah bless you. Yes it did take a while…. I am actually doing a little update tomorrow to add in a few new ones. So look out for that x
WHAT!?!?!? That must have taken you a million years! Thank you so much for putting it together, Abi, that is insanely useful xxxx
(and VERY apt for #TheList!)
Such a fantastic list, great when I am having ‘foggy head moments’ to have everything in one place.
When you next do an update I would love it if you could include my comp Linky: every wednesday. If not completely understand. Thanks Rachel xxx
Author
Of course I will. I will hopefully get it done later today xxx
Great list! 🙂 thanks x
This is a great idea! Thank you for the list x
this list is awesome!! We would love to add our #ToddlerApprovedTuesday link up! I just hosted week 1 and Leandra at Larabee-uk.blogspot.co.uk will be hosting this coming week, we will be alternating it each week! 🙂 X
Now I’m off to find some spanking new link ups to join!!! Thanks for a great list Aby XX
Author
I will add it on the next update hun xx
This is so helpful thank you! I’m trying to join in with more linky’s so this is perfect timing and I definitely need to print it out x
Hi there, I am new to the blogging world, you’re very inspiring in your commitment and dedication. Naive as it may sound, what are linky’s? I see them mentioned fairly regularly, but I am unsure as to what they are? Great blog btw 🙂
Author
Aww thank you very much for you lovely comment.
A linky will be hosted by a particular blogger or group of bloggers. It will have a theme (i.e review posts) and everyone then can link up their review posts to the hosts blog. People then comment on each others posts to build a community and help each other x
Great list – find this so useful to refer to. Thank you so much for including my Heart to Heart linky too 🙂
Author
My pleasure x
Just found this list and THANK YOU – brilliant resource 🙂
Author
Glad it is useful x
I am learning everything from scratch about blogging and really appreciate all of these posts! Thank you again 🙂 I am pinning this and looking forward to spending time looking through these tomorrow! Yay!
New one to add when you do another update: Month of Firsts on 1st of each month, sharing family or individual firsts from the previous month. thanks
Author
Thanks, I will add it to the list x
This is super helpful! Thank you so much!
I have been trying to write a list of linkies but this list is SO much better. Will be printing and using! Thank you!!!!!
Hi, I am hosting a new linky so I wondered if it could be added to the list please?
Its called #KidTested. The idea is to link up any reviews that your kids have been involved in testing with you. Ideal for reviews on toys, kid products and family days out.
Hope you can add it
thanks
Author
Will do! x

This is so wonderful of you to have done. I refer back to it. I also have just started a linky of my own. If you would like to add it to the list I would be tickled. It will be starting at 8AM CST on Mondays.
Thank you so much for adding Animal Tales to the list – you are uber-organised and this is a wonderful recourse. Merci 🙂
Author
My pleasure huni x
Thanks for this – I join in with a few fab linky’s but I can never remember when they are! This will help massively!
Author
I am happy that people find it useful x
O wow! So glad I saw this. I recently started compiling mine and I actually a saw another list today that is no where near as comprehensive.
I’ve downloaded your list … a brilliant reference. I’ll also continue with my compilation because it’s in a format that works for me.
As always, massive thanks for the hardwork and contribution to the blogosphere.
Author
I update it on the 1st of every month, so it should always stay current. Thank you that is kind of you to say x
Great list. x
Author
Glad it helps x
This is soooooo good! Thank you
A great list, I have bookmarked it for future reference! Just to let you know that the Thursday #LoudnProud linky is now hosted by me (MamaOwl) along with 3Children&It, NotMyYearOff & MumofThreeWorld as I’ve taken over from Secrets of the Sandpit 🙂
Author
o.k will change next time x
Thank you for the Linky List! 🙂 x
Author
My pleasure, I hope it is helpful x
Thanks for this! One of my blogging goals this year is to join in on more linkys! This will definitely help! x
Author
I update it on the 1st of each month so check back for the new version x

Fabulous! Thanks Aby. I have only been blogging a few weeks and still getting to grips with using my word press site. I would love to join in with linkys but I need to learn how to link up first and copy the relevant badge etc. Is this simple to do? AS I’m not the most technical person ;-/
Big thanks xxx
Author
Yes you just copy the badge code in the text view t and then it will appear xxx
Thanks for this! Trying to get organised with my blogging and this will be a great help – Brilliant resource!

Thank you for the update 😀

My pleasure x
Great list! Soon helpful to have so many linkys down in one place to be organised for once! I always find myself missing them as the week flies by. x
Author
Thanks huni. Hope it helps x
Really helpful thank you! Will be looking through this in more detail over the next few days!
Author
Glad it will help you huni x
Jeesus! I had no idea there were so many of these! Thanks for sharing your list. Linkups are such a great way to discover new blogs and posts. My new favourite “Weighloss wednesday” by Sims life & Musing housewife seem to be missing from the list though 🙂
Author
I rely on people emailing or tweeting me to let me know about their linkies as obviously I don’t know about them all personally. If the hosts want it to be included then if they message me the details I will add it x
Wow, this is so useful thank you so much. I am fairly new to blogging and didn’t even know such a thing as a ‘linky’ existed until I discovered your site! I have already discovered lots of new blogs through this and am looking forward to adding some of my own posts in the future. Your blog is fab by the way – you have really inspired me to keep on with the blogging (and I’m sure lots of other mummies too!)
Author
Oh that is such a lovely comment, thank you so much. I am so glad you have been inspired by my blog. Thank you and good luck with your blog x
I feel like I’ve barely been away from your blog in the last couple of days as I’m trying to work out all the things I need to do as a new blogger! So this is probably the millionth time you’ve heard it (and I think the third time from me!) but thanks for putting together such a helpful resource! X
Author
Ha ha! I am flattered! So glad it helps x
This is so helpful. There is loads on there that I didn’t know existed. Would it be ok to add my linky on there? It is called ‘Through my child’s eyes’ and is a Thursday link up about getting our children into photography. I would really appreciate it. Thanks 🙂
Author
Sure I will add it on the next update huni x
Such a wonderful list, thank you! So helpful to any blogger. I will refer everyone here 🙂
Author
So glad it is useful to you x
What a great list! Thank you so much 🙂
Author
Hope it is helpful x
Hi Aby – I love this list and have used it so much over the past few months. If you do another update would you mind adding my new linky to the list. Toddler Fun Friday at My Bored Toddler – for all toddler activities.
Author
I will do huni. I will be on the 1st April x
thanks for the list. I think it’d be more useful as a google doc or something online. For me when it opens in pages (mac version of word) it loses all the links (I’m assuming there are links and not just blog names)?
Author
Hi, thanks for your comment. It is a word doc, so will open in pages. There is no blog links (as I am sure you can imagine getting this far took hours), any blog can be googled if a linky took your fancy. I left it purposefully as a basic word doc, so people can just edit it as they wish, adding their own comments etc. I am sure you could copy it across to your own Google doc, if that suits you better. x
A fabulous list which I now use regularly! And which prompted me to start my own link up which I’d love you to add to the list. It\’s an expat blogger’s link up on every second Wednesday of the month 🙂 Thank you for putting this together!!
Author
O.k I will add it on the next update x

And just when I think I couldn’t love your blog any more than I do…you go and update this linky list! Thank you for doing the hard work and putting it all in one easy place. I only joined your #TheList link on Saturday, but I think I already have the linky bug 😉 x
Author
Ah thank you so much. I will be updating is soon x
Another fantastically useful post Abby. So many Linkys so little time.
Thanks for taking time to put the list together. 🙂
So happy right now to have that list. I am one of the people who want to join in but always forget! I am printing it as we speak! Thank you for putting in all the legwork. xx
Thank you so much for this list. How do we find these linky’s though? Just Google the blog names?
Author
Yes Google is your friend 🙂 x
So unbelievably useful! Thank you
Wow! That’s quite a bit list and also so many linkys that you engage with each week – probably quadruple the amount that I do! But there are so many and so many good ones, this is a great way to keep up with them all
Thanks
Linky lists are great!
Thanks for including my competition linky on your list. I am going to spend the day joining other linky’s that I hadn’t come across before.
Thank you for the list Abi, i was actually thinking about doing this myself, researching all the possible linkies i could take part in and put them on a list, so actually you have saved me a lot of time! Laura

Enjoy! x

Thank you for the list – really useful!
Great list! for a newbie like me who only knows about a few, this list is amazing! Thanks for sharing!
well done putting such a fab list together, I have been trying to put my own list together to keep handy at home of links I want to check out, but never get around to doing it, so this is so helpful! Can you add my #mg link up on a Monday at reflectionsfromme.com, it’s open to all topics, thanks Aby xx
Thank you so much for this! I’m always at a loss with when linkys are and end up missing them! Great idea having them all in a word document.
This is great, thanks so much. I’ll be checking out a few and will let you know if I come across that aren’t up to date.
This list is fab and such a good idea to make it a word doc, I was just about to go old school and write it down on a pad using a pen 🙂
Awesome list – thank you! x
Was literally just starting a list of linkys that I’d come across and found this on my way to your list linky. Just perfect! All printed out and ready to use.
Thanks so much for this list – very helpful for a new blogger such as myself 🙂
Thank you so much this is so useful, I’m just starting out and this would really help spread the word 🙂
this is a very informative collection you’ve done since years. thank you.
Great idea for a post my lovely 🙂 x
I would love to do more linkies but hosting one means a lot of work already so I only get to do one or two a week, or 3 if I’m feeling energetic!! And congratulations, someone loved this post so much they added it to the #BlogCrush linky! feel free to collect your ‘I’ve been featured’ blog badge if you’d like to 🙂
Wow 16 a week, I think I have to work on my Linky participation. I haven’t used any of these ones yet so thanks for the heads up x x
It was such a nice experience to read these kinds of tips, I will try for sure
Great list for a newbie like me who only knows about a few, this list is amazing! Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate it
This is a great idea for me because I have weak in term of rememberig things thanks for your helpful post.
