Do you have blogger friends that you ask to blog your things? Do they ask if they can blog for you?

If they're my friends they get my shit anyway. Whether they blog it or not is up to them.

As a blogger I'd never ask. I'd apply like a normal blogger unless they asked.

Provided I want to blog it

I'd never ask as well, I prefer to support my designer friends by paying for it. I do accept it gratefully if they just put me on their lists though.

I'd never ask a friend either but if they add me without asking I do my best to blog their stuff
