Okay, now that you stumbled across this site, you’re probably wondering what the heck’s a blog carnival!

A blog carnival is a periodically-published traveling blog post that contains links to other blog posts dealing with a specific topic. The blog carnival gets its name from its traveling nature; a blog carnival travels from blog to blog, much like a real-life carnival travels from town to town.

A blog carnival is appealing to readers that have a specific topic that they’re interested in, such as personal finance, debt reduction, investing, frugality, capitalism, and recipes, to name just a few. It’s a place where folks can read a lot of different recent posts on a similar topic. Since the authors submit these posts to the carnival, in principle you’re getting quality content with these blog carnivals.
