What Is a Blog Carnival?

Question: What Is a Blog Carnival?

What is a blog carnival? The bloggers on the About.com parenting and family channel show you what a blog carnival is every month by collecting blog posts on a given theme.

Answer:

A blog carnival is like a special edition of a magazine. Blog carnivals are collections of blog posts that share a common theme and are written by different authors.

In a blog carnival, a participant writes a post about the carnival's topic. The post links back to a central location -- the blog carnival host -- where readers can find posts by other bloggers taking part in the carnival. Blog carnivals offer readers a chance to discover new blogs. For authors, carnivals provide an opportunity to attract a new audience and interact with other bloggers.

The All About Parenting Blog Carnival is a collection of blog entries from some of the best bloggers on the Internet. You're invited to join the party!

Here's How:

  • Visit the blog carnival host page to find out the current topic.
  • Write an engaging, non-commercial blog post addressing the theme of the carnival in some way.
  • Link to the blog carnival invitation post somewhere in your post.
  • Submit the name of your blog post and the permalink to workingmoms.guide@about.com or the current blog carnival host.

You must follow the blog carnival rules.
