We’re all ‘born again’ bloggers – praise be to FMB!
…you ripped off my line, Ol’ Git.
Tee hee …………..
I never look back on my posts, this is a nice way to do it, thanks everyone for taking part, some great posts worth taking another look!
@Papasurfer – I’m so glad to be able to link to great work through these (like your work
. It’s that kind of thinking that will define the bloggers of the future. Beyond that, it’s truly good fortune to have “fallen into” this opportunity to help with the promotion of Fuelmyblog, another social network defining the future.
@JohnC – Well, apparrently all three of us have great minds then LOL. That free association potential crossed my mind when I came up with the phrase late the other night. I think most bloggers feel like their blogs should be read more. For example, I spent hours on a post about the inventions of Rome once and it only got 18 hits! Blogging is not like writing a book. Posts usually have a shelf life of 1-2 day. Anyway, the “second life” comment was meant to promote this carnival and offer people another solution for post promotion. Nothing whatever to do with religion necessarily.
@SylvieD – You are very gracious, thanks for the space and the encouragement. I hope it is helping Fuelmyblog primarily. I’ll let you and the readers know that while the first edition got about 20 or so submissions in 2 weeks of announcing it, this past one got 47 submissions! Whoa! I had to go back and change the deadline to now to avoid turning too many people away. I think a carnival should have no more than 20 features. Otherwise it starts to get overwhelming to the readers. It is a very automated process so don’t think I do much work. The posts are submitted by you guys out there and they go directly into code which I adjust to weed out the spam and poor quality submissions (we’re talk POOR, I don’t weed stuff out unless it is truly a zero effort submission)
Onward. The next one will be in a couple weeks as I already have 9 good submissions! At some point we may want to put other parameters on what we will accept. If anyone has ideas, they should contact you or me. Thanks again!
Damien that’s great news! I agree with you on keeping it small, would fuellers like to see a particular theme to these carnivals?
Great post.
It doesn’t take a whole lot of entries to have a nice carnival.
This looked like as good a place as any for me to become actively engaged in the Fuel My Blog Community.
I’d like to see a lot of fuelers turn out for my three-year Blogiversary Celebration Carnival.
If anyone is open to swapping links, I have seven blogs and will entertain (most) any offers. What better than working together for mutual benefit…in the spirit of blog carnivals.
Hi there. The next deadline to accept posts is November 29. We currently have 7 really cool ones and of course some spam that I will have to keep out. At this point, if you have a quality post you would like to share with our community, this is an excellent way to do it. I hope you will consider submitting a post. Here is the link once again and thank you:
