The 212th edition of the longest running internet blog carnival, the well known Carnival of the Vanities appears at Kehaar's Silflay Hraka.
The carnival, and indeed the entire blog carnival idea, was born four years ago at Bigwig's Silflay Hraka blog. It is now back home to Silflay Hraka, as Bigwig's brother Kehaar has assumed the reins with great results.
Carnival of the Vanities is the original collection of blog postings, assembling some of the best and wide ranging bloggers on the internet.
This week's Carnival of the Vanities entries include politics, literature, science, humour, technology, and business.
I have an entry in this week's Carnival of the Vanities as well.
My post is titled "Blogging gifts: Links to bloggers" where I discuss how blog links are important SEO search engine optimization ranking boosters that bloggers provide freely to others. When a blogger sees a post that is interesting and informative, faster than you can say to link it, the coding is already in place. While blog links help in the search engines and provide additional visitor traffic, they are gifts in their own right.
Thanks to Kehaar for making this post a Runner Up in the Best Advice Category.
A great participation option is to simply e-mail your entry to the new e-mail address:

As I suggest elsewhere, hosting and contributing to the various internet blog carnivals is a great promotional idea for your blog.
When you send an entry to Carnival of the Vanities, or any of the many internet blog Carnivals, don't forget to link to the hosted edition. It's not only common courtesy, but helps to increase visitor traffic for all entrants. It also shows your appreciation of the hard work done by the host in preparing the post. Everyone shares in the benefits of the expanded Carnival readership.
Show the Carnival some linky love.
Next week's edition of Carnival of the Vanities appears once again at Kehaar's Silflay Hraka.
In the meantime, head on over to the Silflay Hraka hosting of Carnival of the Vanities and enjoy the posts on offer.
Kehaar is seeking a host for the October 25 edition so here's your chance to host the show.
You will almost certainly be introduced to some great new and interesting blogs.
