\"\"Many of you will know that, since May 2011, five of us have been writing a monthly post on a given topic and we call it the Italy Blogging Roundtable<\/strong>. Each month we decide the topic in advance and the only rule is that it has to be connected to Italy; the posts are published on the same day, and cross-linked so that readers can enjoy our diverse experiences. It’s been a wonderful challenge since we always push ourselves to do our best writing on these occasions… although I often find I like someone else’s post better! You can see posts by the participating writers here: Gloria from At Home in Tuscany<\/a>, Jessica from WhyGo Italy<\/a>, Melanie from Italofile<\/a>, Rebecca from Brigolante<\/a> and my own on this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Normally we don\u2019t tell anyone the topic in advance, but our post for December <\/strong>14 is an exception. Why? Because we want you to participate<\/strong>. The topic is \u201cGifts<\/strong>\u201d (or presents). It\u2019s inspired by the holiday season, but does not have to be limited to \u201cChristmas gifts.\u201d For this month, we\u2019re inviting bloggers to expand upon the topic of \u201cgifts,\u201d somehow connected to Italy, on their blogs.<\/p>\n

Here is how to participate:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 From Decemeber 1 to 13 2011, post on your blog about \u201cGifts\u201d (and Italy).<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Include in your post a reference to the fact that this is part of the Italy Blogging Roundtable\u2019s invitation to post on this topic.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Include, at the end of your post, links to the roundtable blogs: ArtTrav<\/a>, At Home in Tuscany<\/a>, Italylogue<\/a>, Italofile<\/a>, Brigolante<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Let us know by tweeting it with the hashtag #italyroundtable<\/strong>. If by chance you don\u2019t use twitter, email it to one of us (my email address is info @ arttrav.com). We\u2019ll each read them all, and retweet some too!<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On December 142011 we\u2019ll post on the same topic and include links to our favourite posts by the larger community. We\u2019re aiming to link to five posts submitted by others, but that depends on how many people participate!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
