It also helps be read if you don't typically blog about a certain topic. I do wonder though if people who follow carnivals are usually bloggers themselves anyway...<br /><br />Meh, regardless, it's fun! =DPsi Wavefunctionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829712736757471647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-22489218787570735662011-05-01T04:11:35.961-07:002011-05-01T04:11:35.961-07:00Sometimes it happens that I consider a certain blo...Sometimes it happens that I consider a certain blog not interesting enough for me to be a regular reader, then a carnival directs me to a particularly interesting post in that blog (which at that point, I might reconsider adding to feeds I track).Carmelo Frucianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165172747869344231noreply@blogger.com
