I can see that the carnival is picking up in popularity as the number of submissions and the breath of content is much greater than when we hosted it about 6 weeks ago. There are a lot of great stuff out there, and it was tough narrowing our selections. Last time, we only got a couple of submissions that we were comfortable setting out there. This time we got plenty. I decided to stick with the rule of no more than 7 posts to make it more manageable for the reader.
