Welcome to the March 8, 2009 edition of the fuelmyblog carnival.
These entries were the best I ran across of many others submitted. Some I had to reject due to the fact that I want to keep the carnival primarily for fuellers. I’m trying an experiment next month asking submitters to note if they are members. If not, they may be rejected. This carnival is getting very popular and I had to sort through 78 submissions this month. It only takes a few minutes for someone to register at Fuelmyblog. Anyway, enjoy these submissions they are great.

Hi Damien – some great posts revisited – the SEO post from Tim Grice especially caught my attention
This carnival is busy, there is a handful of bloggers not on Fuelmyblog yet…WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??! We are a nice community
As it is getting busier here I would suggest we only publish members with Fuelmyblog username included in the submission. What does everyone else think?
Thanks Damien for putting your effort in this carnival it is really working well
Wow – this list is getting very impressive. Hurrah for Damien and FMB *yay*
@sylvied Well, there certainly isn’t a lack of submissions by fuellers! I agree. Still, what does the community think? Community: “you’re on …”
Woo Hoo, My submission made it.. Calming down now.. Many thanks for accepting my submission and I must say that only submissions with a FuelMyBlog user name should be included
warm welcome to Steven who just joined Fuelmyblog
Since Sylvie and Karen and myself and a few others I’ve spoken with are all leaning toward a member requirement for the carnival, I’ve put this disclaimer in this month’s edition’s “about” section. let me know if you would like anything changed. Let’s keep the lines of communication open.
