Let's go to the hop: a great list of blog hops.

I've been trying to expand my blog's reach (naturally) and have been learning more about blog hops, which are a great way to get your blog out there and also find other great blogs!  I have learned:

There are tons of blog hops going on out there.

Every day of the week.

So, I found a few sites that each provide comprehensive lists of blog hops and I thought I'd share them with you. This would be a great post to bookmark and reference (hint hint)!

A Helicopter Mom includes a very nice list of blog hops and link ups.

Random Dealz also has a nice list of daily blog hops.

And Blog Hops Everyday is a website whose sole purpose is to list blog hops.

Stardust - Decor & Style has a nice list of linky parties.

All are excellent references, so thank you .   Time to get hopping (too much on the hopping references)?

ps - Do you know the difference between a blog hop and a linky party? I think that a blog hop just lets you post your blog and a linky party requires you to submit a post based on a topic (ie, a craft that you did, a dish you cooked, etc).  If I'm wrong, let me know please!
