All About Parenting Blog Carnival

Upcoming editions

By , About.com Guide

Are you a blogger? Each month, About.com hosts an All About Parenting Blog Carnival. Join other parents around the Web in discussing topics of importance to our kids and families. For March 2011, we're tackling the issue of kids, teens and music. And we'd love to have you join us!

The blog carnival goes live on March 7. Submissions are due March 3. And here's the scoop on everything else you need to know.

Blog Carnival FAQs:

What is a blog carnival? A blog carnival is a collection of posts, typically focused on a single topic, from multiple blogs around the web. Each post links back to the carnival hub, so readers can find posts by other bloggers on the same theme. For readers, it's a fun way to discover new blogs. For bloggers, it's a great opportunity to woo new audiences.

How and where can I submit a link and what are the guidelines for submitting a blog entry? Write a blog post of any length on the carnival theme. It should be non-commercial, i.e., it's not ad copy trying to sell a product or service. Link back to the carnival invitation - which can be as simple as saying, "This blog post is part of the All About Parenting Blog Carnival on Kids & Music (or whatever the topic)," with an embedded link. Submit your link to youngadults.guide@about.com by the deadline, in this case March 3, 2011.
