Carnival Buzz

The Engineering Department has come up with a great new search tool! Now, when you search in the search bar at the top of the Blog Carnival Home Page, we'll search through:

• past blog carnival editions
• blog posts that have been submitted to Blog Carnival and accepted by a carnival host
• blog posts in Blog Carnival's blogs

We don't search anywhere else on the web! That means that our search provides very high quality results. Since all the submissions have been vetted by carnival hosts, you're searching through a very valuable hand crafted distillation of the blogosphere.

When we write "we search through", we really mean "Blog Carnival and Google search through". That's important because it takes some time for Google to index new editions and recently submitted (and accepted) posts. So, don't expect to see your new edition or recent submission in the Blog Carnival search results right away.

Why do we think this is so cool? Well, if you read something in a blog carnival, you have a senior moment, and you can't remember where you read it, now it's really easy to find again. Just go to the Blog Carnival search bar.

It's also like the old days when magazines had an index of articles every year. Except this is much better than those old magazine indexes since you don't have to wait until the end of the year to find something.

If you want the Blog Carnival search service to include your blog post in its results, we need to know about it! Make sure that you've put all your blog carnival editions in the Blog Carnival Index. If you're submitting one of your blog posts to a carnival host, you must submit it through Blog Carnival for us to include it.

Enjoy!
