This is a wonderful idea for a blog carnival. I am looking forward to it.
I wanted to mention that I had some trouble with the code for your button. I got it to work on my site by changing it, but I didn’t know if others might have difficulty as well.

Yeah! This is so cool and right up my alley! I think I have 10 or 11 posts, and that was without too much digging. I put it on my blog, tweeted it, and FBed it. For some reason, I cannot get my last blog post title to show up here when I post. Any ideas anyone?

I submitted three of my blog posts for three of the weekly topics. I posted the button on my sidebar, though the button is a little big.

This is a great idea, but why don’t you use Mr. Linkys? It’s hard to know where the links are in this format.
