Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the visit and comment. I was unsure when I joined the original carousel that Alex created, but it worked wonders. I came across so many blogs that I would probably have missed and am only too pleased to take part in the Marco’s rebirth.

Some say you should only target/review those with similar content but on the original I strayed from that and it didn’t have any adverse effects. Quite the opposite really. My Technorati rank shot up and I went from Google Page Rank 0 to 5, so something works lol.

Wow guys, thanks for your comments. I’m busy trying to keep up with the entries into the group writing project, this weekend has been amazing.

@David: Glad you found something you liked!

@shaun: I’m glad YC could make your day and remind you that WE ALL like your blog! :c) (see what David and Felix said)

@YC: I think it would be collectively fun to write disturbing post all the time. I mean I would think it would attract a lot of attention :c).

@Marco: Thanks for including me!

@Felix: No time pressure. Took me a while to get it up myself.

@menopauseprincess: That is not a problem, that is being a human! I read a lot of other topics on blogs — I think I’d poke my eyes out if I didn’t have my humor blogs! I think personally I’m moving more towards providing a platform for all types of blogs rather than just ones similar to mine. It might be blog death, I don’t know! I just know I enjoy all blogs with different subject matter. I don’t think it will kill the carousel if you want to join in :c).

Hey Sarah,

This seems like a great idea, but I have a problem: I seem to read a few types of blogs: humorous, slice of life, and informational.
I think that lots of people want to read the blogs that give information on how to do something better on their blog in a technical manner; I have three blogs I read for that (you’re one of them) but otherwise that stuff just makes my eyes glaze over.
Anyway, I guess I’m afraid of skewing the carnival, and causing it to maybe not be as successful as it might of been. I’m SO powerful-LOL!

Wow! This must be my first ‘review’ of sorts! Thanks Sarah! Your opinions are really helpful as I try to improve. Feels good too to wake up on a Sunday morning seeing this heheh
I find it cool that I still have the ability to ‘disturb’ – it’s been awhile since I dropped tracks that could clear the dancefloors…

I first saw this on Chessnoid’s site and was hesitant due to having already started another link train a week ago. But this is actually a good review method of sorts. Gonna put this into one of my post projects for the week.

I was shocked when I read that review! it really gave me a huge confidence boost because that was my first review and it’s really nice to hear that someone enjoyed my site for once. Thanks for adding YC to the list I think he really deserves to be up there. Good luck with the link train or whatever you want to call it lol.
