Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Haha! I guess I dominate in the amount of articles here, eh? Thanks for doing this Robert!

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Sarah Mae,

Well, I did not say how many you can post. Well done.

BTW, my daughter's name is Dana-Mae, I though you would like that.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Hey Robert - thanks so much for including my posts and for co-ordinating and pulling this all together. Much appreciated. And what a diverse range of posts we have!

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Liz,
Its a pleasure. Wait till the next issue, I'll show you how it is really done, with a theme that is more geared towards your own niche.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

What a great set of articles! Thanks for including me :)

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Thanks for teach us something new Robert. I look forward to the next part. I left comments only on four blogs because I wouldn't have a clue as to what to write on most of the others.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles

Thank you Robert, for all the work and time you invested in this :-)

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Robert,

Thanks for pulling this together! This is an excellent group of articles. I visited about 1/2 and left comments on 3 or 4. I have to take off but I look forward to reading the rest!

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Hey Robert

you have done an excellent job. I like the variety of posts.

I have read 4 so far, and look forward to reading more. I did forget to mention I was from Problogger on my comments.

Thank you so much for holding our first carnival. where will you mention the next topic, I assume it will be monthly??.

Hey Robert...........where is your entry !!!!! I know you have been busy : )

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Thanks Guys for the great feedback.
I am going to answer all in one comment. Just easier that way.

@Heidi, its a pleasure

@Ravi, thanks. I hope it is as much fun for you as it was for me. As long as you get enjoyment and your readers get enjoyment out of it. I am happy

@Ivan, Yes you can host the next carnival. But what I was going to do, was show guys how to host their own Carnival with their own theme and niche using blogcarnival.com. So you are ahead of the game at the moment. Could you hang tough a few days, then we can all start our own carnival. You will have yours and have the ability to post to others.

@Lakita, thanks for the comment. I realise that not everyone will enjoy every post, as it might not be their cup of tea. But it is great that you posted on those that you feel you can make a contribution. Once you host or post to a carnival in you niche, it will be easier.

@Robyn, thanks. Yeah I did forget to post my post here. I tried to remember, but got so busy putting up the other entries I clean forgot. Oh well.

@Yemoonyah, Thanks if you have gotten something out of it, then it was worth while.

@Laura, as long as we all learn something new, then its great. Keep in touch and I will show you how to host your own, and join other carnivals in your niche

Ok thanks everyone, hope I haven't forgotten any one.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Thanks Robert for this great post.

I saw you talk about this over at the 31DBBB Forum and was interested to see how it works. I can't wait for your upcoming post on how to host carnivals.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Gawd what a variety of well written and informative posts; I am glad to be part of it... Reading the posts and exploring the blogs got my mind stretched & opened again and again, on things I never think about...

I left a comment for everyone, except Laura whose permalink is broken, but I read her post on the homepage... the most challenging to me was "cleaning for pregnant wives" from Sarah Mae and was grateful to have Michael Nokier's "how to find inspiration" to help me & finally I came up with something...

I gave a kick in the ant hill of of couponing, we'll see how a gentle controversy flies in Heidi's skies... and left an "unforgettable story" at Elizabeth's

All in all, I did try to come up with an angle for each, with different degrees of success I am sure; I ran a little bit out of steam with Ivan but I promise, next time I'll start the list from the bottom up.

Thanks a million for those that visited my post, another million to those that left a comment, I do appreciate your effort and I am delighted that some got something out of it, it is for me an invaluable reward.

Last, special appreciation and gratitude to Robert Bravery for his initiative in putting the carnival together and teaching us in the process...
Robert, I owe you one!

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Thanks Robert,

I look forward to learning how to run a carnival on my blog as well. I do apologize to everyone who could not find my blog earlier. The problem was I did not know that you had to put some code in an htaccess file to get permalinks to work. This issue is now resolved, every month I get a little more techie.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Fred,

Thanks for the great comment. This is what it is all about. Interacting with other bloggers, leaving comments, and even giving out the occasional heads up. great stuff.
Oh by the way, you don't owe me one, commenting here and on other blogs is reward enough.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Laura,

Glad you got it working. I went over to the post and left a comment. Good post by the way.
If any of you are playing with the stock market or buying and selling shares, go over to Laura's post for a great tip.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Thanks for your hard work creating the carnival!
I look forward to reading the other blog posts, and I love all the diversity!
Thanks to everyone who stopped by and commented at my blog.

Re: A carnival list of How-to articles.

Kelly,

It was a pleasure. It seems that all who participated benefited from it in some fashion or other.
Whether it be comments or readership or traffic. Thats the beauty and diversity of blogging. No one format is going to get you that super blog. But adding all the bits and pieces together amount to a reasonable amount. Whether it be traffic, readers or whatever.
I sure hope you got something out if it, as I did.
