The Fuelmyblog Carnival Dec 1, 2008 edition

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.

@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!
