If you’ve been with me a while, you might remember last year I did an “Over To You” theme for a month.
I really enjoyed the theme, it was lovely getting to connect a bit more with my readers so I’m bringing it back for June this year.
I know our blogs are our babies but I like to think that this blog is also kind of yours. As readers, you are the important people, the ones who make it all worth while. Without readers, a blog just wouldn’t be the same.
With that in mind, I’m handing over the reins, and leaving you, the reader, in control of what happens for the month.
So, I bring you Over To You 2016. Here’s how it works:
- You can ask me absolutely anything and I will post the answer on my blog
- You can suggest any topic you would like me to post on
- You can write me a guest post on anything you want – any subject, it is Over To You after all
- I’m open to pretty much anything, so if there’s something else you want to suggest, now’s your chance to go for it
You can leave your questions/topic suggestions either in the comments on this post, you can tweet me @randommusings29 or you can email me randommusings29@gmail.com
If you want to ask me something/suggest a topic but want to remain anonymous, just let me know in your email and I won’t include your name.
Am I crazy doing this? Maybe, but that’s never stopped me before so I’m going to let it start now.
You can find me here: Twitter Facebook Bloglovin Pinterest and Instagram Please do stop by and say hi!
This is a great idea! I would like to hear more on analytics and driving traffic to your site. There are so many articles out there, so just maybe 5-10 tips of how you drive traffic and use analytics to your advantage would be great!
Thanks for hosting #AnythingGoes
Janet
Great idea, thanks Janet 🙂
What an interesting idea! I look forward to seeing the topics and questions that you get to post about! Thanks so much for hosting #anythinggoes Debbie!!
Thank you 🙂 I’m looking forward to it myself, I like the idea it could be literally anything! Thanks for linking up
That’s a really fun idea. I’ll have to have a think!

Thank you 🙂
I think Janet’s idea is a great one, i’ll definitely have to have a think… you cover so much on your blog, I feel like anything I ask you’ve probably done before 🙂 xxx thank you for hosting such a great linky, and being so brilliant was spreading the love ❤️ #AnythingGoes
Thank you, I hope you come up with something 🙂 Thanks for linking up!
great idea, I have a question for you “what would you put in your room 101?”
#anythinggoes x
Thank you, that’s a good one! x
An interesting concept. I’ll have to give it some thought. In the meantime, I look forward to what others are saying/asking.
Mary
Thanks Mary 🙂
I’d love to hear whether you’ve ever felt or realized just how global your following is?
Maybe a comment linked to a blogger from a surprising country, or an opinion was expressed that didn’t apply to your culture, or maybe someone just misspelled the word “favorite” until you realized that they really didn’t?
BTW, that’s the BEST linky I’ve ever seen. I’m going to have to check out the company you use. 🙂
Thank you, fab question 🙂
I use Inlinkz if you want to check it out 🙂
How do you manage working full time (as in not on your blog) and then doing so much research for your blog posts and put so much effort into blog topics and your blog itself
Thank you, good question!
What a great idea and I will be really interested to see how this works out Debbie!
Thank you, it was a lot of fun last year so I’m hoping it will be again!
What a great idea, I’ll have a think & come back to you. May do a guest post! That would be my first, eekkk! #BloggersClubUk
Go for it Jo, I’d love to run a guest post from you 🙂
Fantastic I’m sure you’ll get lots of inspiration and ideas coming your way. Looking forward to seeing them. Gem (aka Colleyswobbles) #BloggerClubUK
I hope so! Thank you 🙂
Great idea, there’s so much swimming around my head I really need to get down what I’d love to know more about. #bloggerclubuk
Thank you Kaye 🙂
Ooh, great idea – I’m intrigued to see what people come up with! X
#BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 x
What a fab idea – I’m going to get my thinking cap on for some ideas for you 🙂 xx #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 x
Well I loved your A-Z series so it would be good to hear the backstory on this – how you came up with the ideas etc. How about a series of “shorts” based on the numbers 1-10?? #BloggerClubUK
Oh, fab suggestions, thank you 🙂
I love what you’ve said about readers…you’re right, a blog wouldn’t be the same without people reading it. Great idea and a brilliant way to get people involved…look forward to seeing what gets suggested! #BloggerClubUK
I agree – you could still write it but it would feel a bit empty with no interaction! Thank you 🙂
A great idea. I am always looking for help with blogging and understanding it all so I will be watching very carefully to see what questions you get asked and maybe even ask one of my own too 🙂 #bloggerclubuk
Thank you 🙂 Feel free to ask away!
What a fabulous idea! My choice would be a personal post on why do you blog and why did you start? Are the two reasons still the same now? Look forward to seeing what others put too #BloggerClubUK
Thank you so much 🙂
Oooh intriguing idea…I look forward to seeing what people come up with! I always like reading about blogging/techy tips to help a newbie, as well as pretty much anything amusing… 🙂
Thanks for hosting #bloggerclubuk
What a great idea and how brave of you, anything, really…anything? How about your take on whether you will vote in or out of the EU and why. #BloggerClubUK.
Brave or stupid, I’m not sure which lol, but yeah really anything 🙂 Great suggestion, thank you!
Any techy tips are brilliant, especially SEO. I have Yoast but am clueless as to how it works. I also like newbie spotlight interviews 🙂 #bloggerclubuk
Thank you 🙂 I’ll have to see if I can find a willing newbie!
Oooh what an interesting idea…it sure makes it a real joining-in party! In that case, although I really enjoy reading and learning from techy posts etc, how about something a bit more left field ….an imaginary dinner party, who would you invite (living or not, famous or not, etc ) what would you eat, would there be any theme….#BloggerClubUk
Angela x
Thank you 🙂 Oh I love that idea! x
Oh, interesting! I’d love to be involved but having a baby next week so June might be a bit busy! Would love to do a guest post if I can though. #BloggerClubUK
Congratulations 🙂 I’d love to have a guest post from you if you do get time 🙂
Hi Debbie, I always find bloggers ‘stories so far’ interesting. When/why you started. How you have grown your blog, what it means to you now etc. Hope you get lots of great suggestions! Charlie. #BloggerClubUK
Thanks Charlie, that’s a great suggestion!
This is a fab idea Debbie, and giving people the opportunity to guest blog is brilliant too. People with niche Blogs like ours can be a little limited on what they write about, so it is great to know that there could be a place for a different kind of post if I ever got around to writing any of the ones in my head!
Thank you 🙂 You are always welcome to write a guest post for this blog, I love your niche!
What a fantastic idea now let me think…… #bloggerclubuk
Thank you 🙂
What a brilliant and unusual idea!! I look forward to seeing what questions you get asked and the topics people want to know more about.. I’d probably ask how you get inspiration for blogging and if you ever get writers block, what you do to combat it? #BloggerClubUK
Thank you, I really enjoyed it last year! Thanks for the suggestion 🙂
Oooh now this sounds like a fantastic idea I can’t wait to see what you have in mind. Thanks for sharing!!! #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 It’s pretty much out of my hands now lol
What a great idea… I think a post on how to create a media pack and what to put in it would be fab 🙂 #BloggerClubUK
Thank you, that’s a great idea 🙂
What a brilliant idea. Looking forward to seeing what content ends up being shared on your blog next month as a result 🙂 #BloggerClubUK
Thanks Louise, I’m looking forward to it myself, I quite like the not knowing!
I love this idea because it essentially generates loads of content ideas! I’ve been meaning to message you again re guest posting. I didn’t during April as I knew we were both busy with A to Z ! #BloggerClubUK
Yeah, I’m hoping to get a lot of different ideas and often I find one idea leads to another 🙂 Yes, April is a crazy month isn’t it! Feel free to write anything you want for your guest post, that’s the fun of the theme 🙂
This sounds like fun! Looking forward to reading all the outcomes! #bloggerclubuk
I had loads of fun with it last year 🙂
I’m going to e-mail you a Q&A
I’ve just read your email, thanks so much Claire, you’re a star!
This sounds like good fun. #bloggerclubuk
I loved it last year, it really was fun!
What a fab idea!! I will have to have a good think about this, I’m useless at coming up with things on the spur of the moment! #BloggerClubUK
Thank you Laura 🙂
Great idea, if not a little crazy – ha ha! Sometimes bloggers block occurs and at least you’ve got a back up from peoples questions! #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 It probably is a little crazy, especially as I have said I will answer literally anything!
Sounds fun, I look forward to having a read 🙂
#BloggerClubUK
Thank you, I hope you enjoy the posts 🙂
THis is such a good idea, I spotted this the other day and I’ve been bad and not thought of anything for you. I’ll write this on my to do list for…#bloggerclubuk
Thank you Karen 🙂
Genius idea! You may have opened yourself up to a world of pain! Hehehe! Never trust a toddler blogger! #BloggerClubUK Let us know if you want some curve ball questions! 😉 #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 I have a feeling I’m going to regret this lol, but curve ball questions work for me!
Ooh, will be interesting to see what questions people will ask! #BloggerClubUK
I know, I’m looking forward to seeing what I’m asked too 🙂
What a great idea…the suggestions should fuel your imagination. I look forward to seeing what appears on your blog during #anythinggoes!
Thank you for hosting #BloggerClubUK too 🙂
I hope so! Thank you I hope you enjoy them, and thanks for linking up 🙂
What a great idea! I would love to do a guest post, if you will have me 🙂 X
Of course, I’d love you to do a guest post 🙂 x
Ooh I’d love a post on your worst ever customer!x
Great idea, thanks Laura – I know exactly who it will be! x
What do you love most about blogging?
Thank you 🙂
Oh I love this idea. I’ve got my thinking hat on and as soon as anything occurs I’ll be tweeting you. #BloggerClubUk
That’s fab, thank you 🙂
So cool, I’d like to know you top ‘mistakes’ were as a blogger and what yo’ve learnt from them. xxx #BloggerClubUk
Thank you, that’s a great suggestion! How long have you got lol 😉 x
Great idea. Always fancied doing a guest post, maybe I’ll be brave! 🙂 #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 Go for it, I’d love to have you guest post!
What a great idea! I can’t think of anything imaginative right now but I look forward to reading the questions and responses! #BloggerClubUk
Thank you 🙂
Hi, what a fab idea!!! As you know I have just went self-hosted so would love to know which plugins you couldn’t live without. #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂
Hi Debbie, this is a brave/ fun idea. It’ll be fun seeing what people ask you to write about and how you go about it. You are a braver lady than I!
xx
Maybe it’s brave or maybe it’s stupid, I’m not sure lol 😉 I did enjoy doing it last year though x
Ooh this is a great idea! Bet there is loads of interesting & fun content from this. I’ll have to have a bit of a think! #anythinggoes
Thank you 🙂 Yeah, there’s been some fab ideas so far!
It’s fun to have a different topic or voice on your blog – I loved this idea of yours last year. I can’t believe a year has come around already!! #bloggerclubuk x
Yeah, it keeps it fresh 🙂 I know, it doesn’t seem two minutes ago! x
What a fantastic idea! Could be very random indeed, which can only be a good thing! I would really love to do a guest post, if I can write something I think is good enough… I’ll have to think of a good idea. #BloggerClubUK
Thank you 🙂 I’d love you to do a guest post!
What an awesome and brave idea… I may have to steal it but rename it or not no i wont that would be mean.
I’d like a letter from your current blogging self to your blogging self when you first started. what would you tell them/warn them/ encourage them with?
#bloggerclubuk
Feel free to use it with this name or any you want 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion!
