What is a blog carnival?

A blog carnival is a weekly collection of postings about a certain topic. You can think of it as a magazine made of blog posts. It has a home base here but published by a different blog each week.

How can one participate in a blog carnival?

There are three ways to participate in a blog carnival:

• Submit a post that you have written on your own blog (each blogger can submit one post each week, but any number of bloggers can participate)
• Host the carnival by posting that weeks edition on your own blog (there is only one host each week who compiles all of the submissions)
• Read the carnival each week to find interesting articles about the topics that interest you.

Why would you want to participate in a carnival?

Participating in a carnival is a great way to connect with the larger community of bloggers on your issues, raise your profile in the blogging community, and to draw new readers to your blog.
