Looking Nearby for Food Blog Carnival
Announcing the Looking Nearby for Food Blog Carnival!
A blog carnival is similar to a magazine in that it is dedicated to a particular topic and published on a regular schedule. Each edition is in the form of a blog post that contains permalinks links to other blog articles on the particular topic — sort of a digest, if you will, of the best recent posts on that topic by a variety of bloggers.
Looking Nearby for Food will be published monthly and cover topics near and dear to the hearts of local eaters — seasonal recipes, cooking from scratch, farmers’ markets, putting food by, or any other topic closely related to eating locally. If you have a blog and have a post on one of these topics that you are particularly proud of, please submit it to me here for consideration. Or just email me a link — there’s an email link in my profile. Here are some tips on what makes a great blog carnival submission. Each month I’ll collect the submissions and choose several for inclusion in Looking Nearby for Food. The carnival will appear each month here on cincinnatilocavore as one of our regular posts.
For bloggers, submitting your best blog posts to appropriate blog carnivals is a great way to attract new readers to your blog. From ProBlogger:
If I had to pick one tip to give new and aspiring bloggers, it would be this: participate in blog carnivals.
For readers interested in a particular subject, blog carnivals provide a vetted digest of the best recent posts on that topic and an introduction to some great blogs.
The first edition will appear May 1st. We’ll accept submissions until April 24th; submissions after that date will be considered for the next edition.
