In our never-ending search for ways to increase the visability of this blog, I came upon something called Blog Carnival (from kuimko). Basically, it looks like a directory of the “link posts” bloggers love to write on a lazy sunday.
You can also request submissions where if you are even more lazy, you can ask other people to hunt down all the great posts for you. Talk about my ultimate dream tool.
So I have signed up the fox to this service to see what it can do. The tool itself is not that great looking, but that does not mean that it doesn’t work. Once you sign up, you get a main page for your blog that hosts your ‘carnivals’. The foximus Carnival is here.
As you can see, it shows you information on the current link post, or carnival and you also can view all the past editions. You can also submit an article or post that you think should be included in the next edition.
Nice idea, hopefully it will bring in some results. I will write a summary of the results in a month after I have time to play with the tool. If you have used this and have some tips, or know of any other tools I can check out, please let us know.

It might be a good idea to submit some of our articles to other carnivals as well.
