Next Sunday I’ll once again play host to the Carnival of Maryland. This will be edition number 37 and the fourth time I’ve served as home for this vagabond sampling of Maryland’s best blogosphere work. (I’ve previously hosted editions 7, 17, and 27 – see a theme there?)
I know we have a whole host of talented writers on this side of the bridge and sometimes it’s tough to attract the notice of people who read a lot of what’s on the internet. The vast majority of active blogs tend to have a readership that’s fortunate to reach three figures in a week. My totals are a little larger than that but still every little bit of exposure helps.
Nor do you have to write about politics to be featured. In the past I’ve had some outstanding submissions about nature, science, sports, history, and a variety of other subjects which weren’t political. I don’t even have to agree with them, all I ask is that they’re written reasonably well. Personally I’ve contributed to over 30 of these carnivals and no one’s complained yet about what I submitted.
So pick out your best stuff, go to the box that’s currently residing in the lower left-hand column which advertises the Carnival of Maryland, click on it and follow the instructions. Or just use this link. Ideally I’d like about 10 to 15 submissions so I can do a write-up of reasonable length about each one.
I’d also like to point out that tomorrow should will be the debut of the three pages I discussed last week, provided I find no more errors in my information or its compilation. They culminate what has been several weeks of research and work both on and off the internet – hopefully you’ll find them useful in becoming more informed about the political world. I also have another feature which may or may not won’t quite be up yet when this post comes online. (I’m told it will more likely be later in the week.) This addition will be quite apparent once I get approval for placing it on the site.
It’s all an effort to make this website more useful as a tool for research and thought, along with a batch of fun stuff that I toss in every so often to keep it lively.
