Carnival of the Capitalists

Hosts and Posts

We’ve finally received some entries this week that might make it into the next CotC edition. They’re coming in somewhat lightly, and what does come in tends to be from the knee-jerk entrants that did so much to drive the change. There is surely a place for those, like one of the more freewheeling carnivals, or one of the carnivals for which they’re, say, actually on topic.

However, we’d still like entries! Just mean them, eh?

You don’t have to be the author

Main thing are URL and description/reason it’s great and belongs

Send to bizosphere@gmail.com

Or send to thecotc@gmail.xom

Yeah, be on-topic

Yeah, be a superior, interesting post

But if you have that, don’t be standoffish

We’re going to need hosts for all weeks following this one. That is, starting with the Tuesday, February 5 edition. Hosting is different these days. For one thing, you don’t actually have to be a blogger yourself.

Oh sure, it makes sense if you are. You’d be more used to putting a post like this together. You’d be more interested in the self-promotion involved. But anyone could do it, if they were interested.

You see, the edition itself is hosted here, not on your blog. The process goes something like this:

Entries come in

I pre-screen and forward passing ones to you

You pick from among those, which could mean all or few

You go poking around the web for other good stuff, your choice

You put it all together in a format that might resemble the last edition

You e-mail me the text or post a draft using an account supplied

I add any text at start or end that’s needed, see if links look right, etc. and then publish and announce the edition

As the host, you get link(s) as appropriate, bragging rights, and the ability to promote your blog, business or cause a bit, while also putting your spin on the content.

If interested, you can e-mail host or jay @ this here domain, or one of the previously mentioned addresses.
