Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival

Proudly announcing the birth of the Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival (PPBC for short)!

Any Pinoy parent may join the carnival. You know who you are, Pinoy parents!

Please signify your intention to join by replying to this thread. I am currently working on a webring or blogroll so that it will be easier for us to know who's participating. I will also post it here when it's available already.

Oh, and if you know other Pinoy parents who blog, feel free to invite them to join by directing them to this page.

What is a blog carnival? Here's a definition by wikipedia.

General guidelines:

• The Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival will be a biweekly carnival.
• There will be a designated host blogger of the month. He or she will host both carnivals of the month.
• He/she will post the two topics for the month on his blog, with the corresponding deadlines of submission and the day when that Edition of the Pinoy Parenting Blog Carnival will be up on his/her blog. Topics deal mostly around parenting and family life.
  
• Blog articles for carnival are due by 12:00 midnight, the 10th of the month for the first carnival, and the 24th of the month for the second carnival.
• The host is expected to organize and post the carnivals on the 14th and the 28th of each month, respectively.
• Send to the predesignated host- blogger for that week, the link to your post, the title, and a brief description of that article.
• One entry per blogger. Any post regarding the designated topic or theme, new or existing, may be entered.
• The host blogger has the sole authority and responsibility of choosing the topic, announcing them, receiving the contributions, proof reading it, and posting them as he/she deemed fit for his/her topic of choice. Other host guidelines here.
• Please provide a linkback to this page.
  

What are the advantages of a blog carnival?

• Interesting, relevant topics to write on.
• Increased links.
• Increased traffics.
• Increased sense of community.
• It's really fun!
• More knowledge and opinions?

I will host for the month of the May as a start. :) I will also post on this blog the schedule of the blog carnivals, their hosts and topics, if already available. So check back often!
