Blog Carnival: A Virtual Carousel of Writing Opportunities
July 9th 2007 08:40
Yvonne Russell, at Grow Your Writing Business, mentioned Blog Carnival in a recent post. Thanks to Yvonne, I checked out this site and found many fascinating opportunities there for bloggers who enjoy writing about almost any topic. So, I thought I'd pass on some info about this site to my readers, so you'll have the opportunity to participate in upcoming--or ongoing--blog carnivals currently being hosted on a number of different blogs.
The above Blog Carnival link should help you keep abreast of the latest carnivals happening around the blogosphere at any given time. So, check the site often, if you'd like to participate in any of these community- and traffic-building projects hosted by various blogs. You may choose the blog carnival categories and topics you prefer to blog, or write, or simply submit previously published posts about, of which there are quite a few different categories. (And, yes, writing is one of them.)
Some of the carnivals listed on this site are outdated, as is so often the case on any site, with the speed of change occurring on the internet today. But many appear to be valid and either current and/or ongoing and have the potential to provide fascinating vehicles through which our creative energies may be channeled, our fondest interests indulged, and our literary labors of love recognized by other likeminded individuals--which sounds like a fairly good deal for all concerned!
Hope you'll find some blog carnivals here that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
Happy hunting!
Jeanne
P.S. If you scroll down a bit in my blog's sidebar, you'll find a feed listing some of the recent blog carnivals that can be found on the website. (Blog categories in the feed are random.) NOTE: FEED HAS SINCE BEEN MOVED OUT OF SIDEBAR AND INTO POST ENTITLED BLOG CARNIVAL FEED: FIND BLOG CARNIVALS HERE.
Did you enjoy this post? Don't leave me lonely--Please comment!

I think it's a great way to highlight some older posts, and to find some other interesting sites when all the links are listed.

I, too, think it's a great way to "recycle" previous posts. After all, why should our older posts sit and languish deep within our blogs' archives when they could be out there getting read?
Haven't submitted any posts myself yet, but probably will at some point, when I'm able to find the time.
Thanks for the comment!

Hope you'll find some blog carnivals that suit you to a tee! I, too, am glad my blog is no longer incapacitated! That roughly 8-hour period seemed like 80!
Thanks for the visit!

You're right about Blog Carnival. It's a great opportunity to highlight posts. I was just showing that site to another blogger last night.

I really will have to make the time to find the right blog carnivals for a few of my own posts. These days it seems so easy to let certain less-urgent activities fall by the wayside! So, I'll have to make it a point to submit to some of the listed sites.
Thanks for dropping by!

What a wonderful compliment! I'd be honored if you would put Writer's Notes in your blog's sidebar. It's a pleasure to meet you! Hope you'll drop by again sometime for another chat.
Have a great day!
