		<description>I have been doing blog carnivals for a few weeks now.  The visitors to my site doubled in numbers on the weeks that I did carnivals.  I have been busy this week with company visiting and didn&#039;t do any carnivals and my stats dropped as a result.</description>

		<description>This is turning into a bad habit I know, but I recently posted about this as well :-) Usually you post on something while I am still working on it, but the last couple of times I actually beat you to it ;-)

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.circularcommunication.com/how-blog-carnivals-boost-communities-and-make-dreams-come-true/&quot;&gt;How Blog Carnivals Boost Communities and Make Dreams Come True&lt;/a&gt; is not only about what I consider a Blog Carnival to be and why every blogger should know about it, but also a list of the greatest resources I could find on the subject.

It was written to prepare myself and my readers for the Carnival that I made. I chose to make a thematic carnival and plan on having one on every blog that I make if it can be fitted in, which it usually can.</description>

		<description>Thank you so so much for the mention, Chris :)

@Beachbum: I have personally participated in Blog Carnivals, and I wouldn&#039;t say that all Blog Carnival posts received lots of hits or comments, nor do I see it as &quot;a way to try to get links.&quot;

But I definitely see it as one of the best ways to, err for lack of other words, &quot;meet other bloggers of similar interests.&quot; I have definitely come to know a handful of bloggers (and subscribed to them) that I&#039;d otherwise not learn about :)

So I see it a way of &quot;opening up my horizons&quot; :)</description>
