Carnival Buzz

Here's great news for managing and promoting your blog carnival: the new Blog Carnival Widget!!!.

What is it? Where do you get one?

You can see the carnival widget if you browse all the carnival and select any one. Click here, for instance, to see Blog Carnival's listing for Carnival of the Capitalists.

Those of you paying attention will notice a new widget that gives you quick access to important carnival links like the current edition, the submissions page, and the carnival home page. You'll find tabs taking you to links to all past and scheduled carnival editions, too.

Too cool for school? We think not!

Why? Because you can put this widget on your blog, and you can tell all your friends to put this widget on their blogs (or websites).

Too cool for school, yet?

Maybe. But check this out. Here's the widget page for Carnival of the Capitalists. Notice that you can "dial in" how wide you want the widget for your blog. Try putting a number in the "Width" box and pressing return. Presto change-o, you have a widget that fits your blog's (or website's) layout.

We're pretty sure the Blog Carnival Widget is too cool for school. We're hoping you'll tell us ways to make it even cooler!

Have fun playing with your new widgets!
