Seemed like a great idea to motivate each other to write pieces. I thought there was talk of bringing this back in another thread. I guess it also depends on how many people have blogs too or even time to blog.

Fine by me. It had become a tiny blog carnival, more like a blog coffee klatsch that's why it went into hibernation. Does anyone want to suggest a topic? For this month? Or would you rather start next month? Carole, Dawn, what would work for you? Diane, how about you?

How about we start in January and get a fresh start for the new year? If you guys don't want to wait that long, it's fine by me to start sooner. I've been wanting to get my blog going again and this would be good motivation for me. Regardless of what is decided about a start date, I'll give some thought to topics. It will be so good to have some new blood participating in our blog carnival. As Cat said, it was down to such a small group, it was starting to feel like going to the next door neighbor's house for coffee and cookies! Dawn

Sounds good to me. We can always discuss ideas and stuff and get some content planning inspiration going.
And small groups aren't all that bad. I'm an introvert and I love coffee and cookies! =P Quality over quantity!

Would like to get involved too but I am hoping to be moving house very soon so would be better for me to join a bit later.

I'll just take over now and announce that we'll start the new, fresh and glittering blog carnival in January 2020 - thank you for the idea, Dawn. Togan, I like your idea of content planning inspiration and more and started a new thread here where we can already collect some topics, thoughts, etc.

Ok, 1. I have no idea what a blog carnival is so please clue me in. 2. I do have a blog, I post very sporadically on it BUT one of my goals in getting my business together and run it normally (cue insane laughter here) is that I start posting regularly on it. As soon as I get the next crazy month or so done that is what I PLAN on doing (note I said plan, you know what they say about best-laid plans...)

A blog carnival, blog hop, etc. is a bunch of people writing about the same topic and linking to the other participants' posts. Then everyone comments on the others' post.

I have realized how neglected my blog was. About a week ago I checked and found it was full of spam comments! I had to delete all of them (about 6,000!). I had to sign up for a service that would take care of checking all comments and prevent spammers. I hope this will work for me!

Funny, I just had the same thought and came over here to see if we had anything had been posted about the blog carnival. Cat, do you want to start a thread for January and get the ball rolling? Dawn
