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?

This is great! I plan on joining each week. Great idea and I’m looking forward to reading what everyone writes.

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.

Hey there. I have been having trouble with the code for the button. I’m not sure what the problem is. Could you double check it and see if it’s me or what???? Thanks.

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.
