Yakezie Carnival on July 10th 2011

MR at the http://www.moneyreasons.com blog is hosting the Yakezie Carnival this week (hey that's me!).

I have a slight change on the submission process!

 

After email conversations with Jacob @ MyPersonalFinanceJourney.com and Glen @ FreeFromBroke.com, we've decided to expand the options available for the submission process to include forms.

 

Using Glen's form as a template (thanks Glen), we now have a form that you can cut and paste your information into and just click submit.  The results from your submission will go to a spreadsheet that the host can cut and paste directly into their post.  This should take some of the drudgery out of the hosting process!

 

Since I'm hosting this week, I'll be the guinea pig and work out the kinks this week.
 
So without further ado, please click the following URL and enter your submission for this week's Yakezie Carnival:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHRXNDdfNS1wMURGdmVOSmRNdy1vRmc6MQ

 

Thanks,

 

MR

 

 

P.S. After I work out the kinks, I'll post a more detailed set of instructions under the Yakezie Carnival Category.

Seemed to work out fine on the second try – if I put 2 in there, I apologize.

Will each host have to create a form to do this (I already have one set up), or will this be the standard form, and each host given access to it (similar to the Blog Carnival emails)?

I'd recommend that each host can use this standard form (why re-invent the wheel…), but if you have your own, that's cool too.

 

After I compile the carnival on Sunday, I'll post instructions in this Yakezie Carnival Category explaining this optional process.  The advantage is that it will be a cut and paste process for all the submission in one shot.  So far, things look great and I'm very pleased with the results!  Big thanks to Glen on the initial form creation!

Thanks!  We – Jacob (from My Personal Financial Journey), Glen (from Free From Broke) and I came up with what I think is a pretty decent solution.  I'll know after I prepare the Yakezie carnival this Sunday. Cool

 

If it goes as planned, I'll create a post that will server as the user guide that explains how to embed the links in the host's post easily and quickly.

Thanks, Glen (From Free From Broke) created this form initially a few years ago.  It's a great idea.  Tom from canadianfinanceblog.com has another great tool that we might introduce in the future too.

Don – I'm hosting next week, so if I can be given access next week that would be great! This form seems to be just what we needed.

 

Thanks,

I can only take so much credit. I created the form back when we started the Yakezie Carnival but I'm pretty sure I got the idea elsewhere.

 

Just submitted.

Thanks all the same!  This weekend we are celebrating my son's birthday, and the form will be a life saver!  Smile
