Update (4/4): There’s an open seat on the Watcher’s Council. What is that, you ask? Go check it out. The Council is also accepting post submissions for the week.
———————————————————————————————————————————–
If you’re a new blogger seeking wider exposure for your work, consider participating in one or all of the blog showcases. Each week bloggers take turns hosting the carnivals. In less busy days, I used to submit posts to the Christian Carnival and Carnival of the Vanities.
- Christian Carnival – Submit your best Christian-themed post of the week.
- Carnival of the Vanities – Submit your best post of the week regardless of the subject.
- The Carnival of Education – Submit your best education-themed post of the week.
- Blog Mela – Submit your best Indian-themed post of the week? Not familiar with this one.
- Bonfire of the Vanities – Submit your worst post of the week.
There are several other carnivals I failed to mention, I’m sure, but this is a good start. You should be able to find information on how and when to participate in the next carnival on the host blogs.
Sissy Willis reminded me of the Carnival of the Cats and Carnival of the Recipes. And here’s a new one: Friday Ark.
Steel says there should be a Carnival of the Idiots to showcase the most obnoxious commenters. Unfortunately, attention is exactly what they want, which is why I’d never participate. Don’t feed the trolls!
Also see Carnival of the Carnivals. Wow.
Aaron is back! He was on hiatus while looking for a job. Aaron creates what he calls “Blogopoly” pieces. Clever idea. Mine is a hotel with a steeple and a barbershop pole.
Robin Burk, a very nice lady and fellow CPAC blogger, has started her own blog, Random Probablilities. She’ll continue blogging at Winds of Change.

There ought to be a ‘Carnival of the Idiots’ for commenters doncha think? And a ‘Carnival of the Bozos’ for MSM. BTW. Hi LaShawn, haven’t seen ya much since ya got famous. You Go Girl!
Hey, LaShawn, don’t forget these three staples of the blogosphere:
Carnival of the Cats

Carnival of the Recipes

Friday Ark http://themodulator.org/archives/001694.html
I have done a Carnival of the Carnivals for over a year which simply is a collection of different carnivals. (It has gotten rather large of late, almost unwieldy!)
This week’s version is here.
Ok – no hyperlinks in comments (and no preview either!).
The link is:

Thanks, sweetie.
working off the PDA, so no link, but there is also Carnival of Cordite.
Hey, La Shawn. Thanks for the links.
Don’t forget to also visit Greg Hammond’s (link posted over at my site) to comment to raise money for low-income women to receive mammograms. His wife died of breast cancer one year ago today. For every comment the site receives today, sponsors have donated money-so just your simple comment can raise money
LaShawn,
Before you put out that link to STEEL, you should have checked some of his links. This was one of them:
A little shocking!
And you made it worse by posting the link in the comments. – Admin
La Shawn,
Off topic but they just reported the Pope has passed away.
Renee,
He hasn’t passed away yet. But I’m sure it will happen within a few hours.
I am aware of that stan. Just posting that it was reported. Has not been confirmed by the vatican.
LaShawn,
On behalf of the EdWriters, many thanks.
La Shawn, thank you for the welcoming shout-out. I got a Barber-lanche and Malkin-lanche today and it’s appreciated.
Tiny little proofreading. In your A-L section, my old link still appears.
Blogmother La Shawn:
Some of the Carnivals do not tell readers how to make submissions.
Also, I find it much easier to be a co-writer on a blog with many writers than to run my own blog.
Ankle Biting Pundits encourages its readers to submit posts.
Lifelike Pundits recruits new writers, too.
Thanks for all the links to other blogs, La Shawn. Still, your best gift is to let us read your excellent writing of your own thoughts on a topic.
I usually submit regularly just to the Christian Carnival, but I’ve found this Carnival submission form to be incredibly handy:

It includes most of the major carnivals, and it’s super-easy to use!
You can always find the Carnival of Cordite here:

Thank you for mentioning it!
