I was wondering why no one included me in any carnivals.  Thought I somehow offended the entire PF blogosphere.Wink

 

Thanks for sharing Tom's form.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words! Melissa emailed me today to clue me in on this post.

 

The issue I found with most of the remaining carnivals is that I couldn't find the owner's contact info. First off, I want their permission before creating a form that goes straight to their inbox. Secondly, I need to know what email to send the submission to.

 

To help me get these included a little quicker, I could use some help finding each carnival owner's contact form or email. If you can send that to me, I can contact them and get them added.

 

And don't forget, this was really a spin off from another carnival you can all qualify for… Canadian Finance Carnival. You don't have to be Canadian, you just have to submit a post that applies to Canadian readers. ;)

The one thing i REALLY like about the BC carnival is that it mines data after you input the URL for the article you want to use.  Saves on the typing.  I wonder if Tom can do the same?  If he doesn't reply here i'll drop him an email – I need to send him thanks for all the help getting started as it is …

The other carnivals Tom is referring to are ones such as The Wealth Builder Carnival, Carnival of Traders and Investors,
Family Finance Carnival, Carnival of Road to Financial Independence, Carnival of Financial Planning.  If anyone knows how to contact the owners to ask their permission, that would be great!  Thanks.

Hey SPF, yeah I think I doubled my post count ;) Finally starting to get ahead on a few things, hoping to continue that trend so I can contribute here more often. Looking forward to getting added to the Skype groups, for some reason I'm much more active on Skype (maybe because it's always open) and will chime in on so many topics you won't be able to shut me up!

When I first made the BC Workaround page, it was back in April and only a handful of sites were effected… and at that, I expected it to only be a problem for a couple weeks. I can't pull the title and such at this moment, but I'm looking to have a better solution in the future.

From what I can tell, BlogCarnival.com loses 100% of the submissions submitted through their site. Does any one know if 1) they are just phasing out the site/shutting it down or what is going on? or 2) if it's working for you and it's just me that is having trouble?

I tried today and didn't get anything as far as e-mails so I submitted all mine through the workaround page.

Lucky you!  Mine worked up until two weeks ago; then suddenly I stopped getting e-mail confirmations.
