Now Taking Requests for Future Hosts
Important Update: The schedule for the first quarter of 2007 is now full. We will begin taking requests to fill the second quarter during March. Stay tuned to carnivalofpersonalfinance.com for an announcement.
The Carnival of Personal Finance is now taking requests for hosts in the first three months of 2007. There are only a few slots to be filled, so they will likely fill quickly. Hosting the Carnival of Personal Finance is a great way to build traffic, be involved with the community, and showcase your creativity.
Before you take the plunge and request to host, make sure you read and understand the requirements of hosting. We want to maintain a strong identity and a unique approach, so some of the requirements are new and different than other Carnivals.
If you’re interested in hosting, email hostrequest at this domain (put “Carnival Hosting Request” in the subject) with the following information:
- Your blog’s name and URL
- Links to three Carnivals of Personal Finance within the last three months that contain one of your articles
- Your number of unique visits (user sessions) per week, and the URL of a public SiteMeter page (or similar statistics) for verification
- Links to any mentions of your blog in major online or traditional press
- URLs of any Carnivals you’ve hosted in the past, Carnival of Personal Finance or otherwise
That’s it! The spots will be filled quickly, so email us as soon as possible.

Merry Christmas From the Carnival of Personal Finance
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. This week, the Carnival will be posted on Tuesday morning due to the holiday, so the deadline has been extended to Monday night. Please get your submissions in as soon as possible, but only one entry per blog.
Reminder: Submit to Carnival #80
There are still a few days left, but start thinking about which article you’d like to submit to the 80th edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance, which will be hosted on Tuesday by My Personal Finance Blog. The host will accept submissions through Sunday at 6:00 PM Eastern Time through this form.
New Guidelines for Hosting
As we’re getting ready to start accepting new hosts, we’re cleaning things up a little bit around here. First, there are new guidelines for hosting. If you’re scheduled to host soon or you’re interested in hosting, please take a look.
Some of our upcoming hosts have been on the list for many months. There is a bit of attrition in the blogosphere, so any blogger who hasn’t posted in the past three weeks has been removed from the list. I’ve also removed myself from the list to open up more slots.
Very shortly, we will start looking for volunteers to fill the first three months of 2007. As of today, that means there will be only five open slots to be filled. In March, we will solicit volunteers for April, May and June. Stay tuned to this blog for the announcement. It may be helpful to subscribe via RSS or email. The announcement will be sooner than the new year.
