It’s been a while since Funny contributed anything to a carnival: I’ve just been too busy to cope with even that small extra task. Fortunately, MSN Smart Spending kindly burnishes FaM’s fame by republishing an occasional post. Most recently Let Us Count Our Blessings appeared at that august site.
Carnivals have many uses, not the least of which of course is providing a little exposure for bloggers. IMHO the best thing about blog carnivals is that they bring a lot of generally related stories together in one place. Some of these are very interesting articles. From a reader’s point of view, they introduce you to new writers and new perspectives. Every time I participate in a carnival, I find many writers whose work I really enjoy. Here are a few from this week…
