Do you want to host the carnival? Here are the official guidelines...
GUIDELINES for THC
>> Please title the post: The # Homesteading Carnival. If you would like to make it a certain Edition, you are welcome to do that too.
>> You are welcome to put pictures throughout the carnival, if you wish.
>> Hosts please read: http://www.10000birds.com/hostwiththemost.htm
>> Hosts will put out a wide call for submissions. The greater the variety of posts, the more our readers will learn, and the more chance they will find something interesting.
>> Host should have the HC icon logo on their site.
>> Hosts will respond promptly to submissions. With all the problems of spam and filters, it is common courtesy to reassure our participants their submission were received.
>> Hosts will have carnival up in a timely manner. Submissions are due Sunday evenings at 6:00 PM PST. The goal should be to have it within 12 hours. This means the host will get much of the work done during the previous week as submissions come in.
>> The host will work to promote the participants. Hosts should minimize self promotion.
>> Promotion of that week's carnival is the part of the responsbility being the host. As the carnival's organization I'll also help. And I expect other hosts to help.
>> At the end of each carnival the host will point to the host for the next carnival, and how to enter submissions.
>> The host should email (with THC link) everyone who submitted an entry and let them know it's up, and ask them to announce it on their own blog.
