The carnival doc refers to was proposed in an email. I'll be posting about it in detail soon. Ardis, thanks for the feedback.

In the interest of obsessive compulsive neatness, is there a way for me to shrink the button ever so slightly so that it is the same size as the other two in my sidebar? or would that require your creating a whole new button? (I've got ten technological thumbs and am still dazed that I managed to get the button pasted in the right place.) I don't know what you-all are talking about re a carnival, but the title sounds fun. I'll see if I can find your earlier discussion about it, in case it is something I can join in on. Max, I just added the Nothing Wavering button to my Keepapitchinin sidebar.

Max Wilson Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:34:31 +0000 http://nothingwavering.org/blog/?p=5#comment-8 Wow, Doc, that's quite a list. I like Of Good Report, Carnival of Saints (or Carnival of The Saints), Line Upon Line, and Out of the Best Blogs. However, part of the goal of Nothing Wavering is search engine optimization and attracting new readership for those blogs that participate, so I feel like we probably need to use LDS and Blog in the name so that people searching for LDS blogs using Google are more likely to find it. How about: Line Upon Line: Carnival of LDS Blogs a monthly blog carnival organized by NothingWavering.org What do you think? Other possibilities? Wow, Doc, that’s quite a list.

How about:

Line Upon Line: Carnival of LDS Blogs
a monthly blog carnival organized by NothingWavering.org

What do you think? Other possibilities?

I've updated the code to display properly in my post so hopefully when you copy and paste it it wont use curly quotes. Let me know if it is still not working. Brian,

Max Wilson Tue, 06 Jan 2009 22:18:29 +0000 http://nothingwavering.org/blog/?p=5#comment-4 Thanks Doc and Danithew. Actually I have given considerable consideration to a Blog Carnival suggestion. I've very excited about it and it is higher on my todo list than you might think. I have been trying to move things that take less technological effort (the facebook group, twitter integration, and the carnival) to the top of the list because they are things that I can do immediately as positive steps toward building a Nothing Wavering community. We're going to need a carnival name. We could use "Nothing Wavering Blog Carnival" or we could do something like "Carnival of the Saints" or something generic like "LDS Blog Carnival." I don't have a name that really grabs me and I'm completely open to brainstorming suggestions. In the near future I'll be sending an email out to bloggers who are listed at Nothing Wavering to draw their attention to the changes that are happening here, and I hope to also let them know about the Carnival Plans and how it can help them increase readership and build relationships. Hopefully I can get a number of them excited about it too. Thanks Doc and Danithew.

Have you given any more thought to the possibility of a Nothing Wavering Blog carnival? With everything else on your plate, I'm sure it's not on top of the list, but the good thing is that the host of each edition does most the work. This is great JMax, thanks.
