How to Join the All About Parenting Blog Carnival
Share Your Blog, Share Your Thoughts

By Denise Witmer, About.com

The All About Parenting Blog Carnival for January 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:

  • Write a great non-commercial blog post that addresses anything related to family resolutions in some way.
  • Link to the Carnival Invitation blog post somewhere in your post.
  • Submit the name of your blog post, the permalink (if you have one), and your name and email address to parentingteens.guide@about.com.

Fine Print:

  • You must be the original author of the content and have full permission to post it on your blog.
  • Blog entries that are commercial in nature will not be accepted. In other words, the submitted post cannot be an attempt to sell a product or service.
  • Content must be family friendly.
  • Carnival editor has final say as to whether a blog entry meets the theme of the month.
  • Carnival editor has final say as to which posts will appear in the Carnival and may have to limit submissions.
  • Submitted blog entries must include a link to the Carnival Invitation for that month.

What is a Blog Carnival?

A blog carnival is similar to a special edition of a magazine. Like a special edition, blog carnivals are collections of blog posts that share a common theme but 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 where readers can find a list of posts by other bloggers who are taking part in the carnival. Blog carnivals offer readers a chance to discover new blogs. For authors, carnivals offer an opportunity to attract a new audience and build a following.
