Carnival of the Vanities is the longest running blog carnival on the internet. In fact, the concept of
Carnival of the Vanities to have a different blogger host the best self selected posts each week, is the reason for the spectacular growth of internet carnivals on every topic.
Sadly, however, the grand old Carnival of the Vanities has fallen upon some hard times in recent months. A lack of hosts, concerns over post quality, spam entries of little value, and a failure of entrants to link back to the weekly host are only a few of the issues facing carnival caretakers Zeuswood and Stingflower. It's time to restore the Carnival of the Vanities to its former glory.
Not so many months ago, there was a backlog of hosts extending an entire year plus a waiting list. For the past few weeks, the carnival has had to scramble to find a last minute home. The carnival needs hosts, if we want it to continue providing a venue for our best posts, into the future. It's that simple.
