“A blog carnival is a type of blog event. It is similar to a magazine, in that it is dedicated to a particular topic, and is published on a regular schedule, often weekly or monthly. Each edition of a blog carnival is in the form of a blog article that contains permalinks to other blog articles on the particular topic.  

Blog carnival posts are generally collated by the author by soliciting relevant contributions from interested people. The author collects links to these submissions, edits and annotates them and publishes the resulting round-up to his or her blog. Many carnivals have a home page or principal organizer, who lines up guest bloggers to host each edition. This means that the carnival travels, appearing on a different blog each time. … Writers who submit their articles to blog carnivals are rewarded with traffic.” 

How does that sound? Our “particular topic” would be the Pee Dee and posts about the people, places and issues of our region would be eligible. Interest has already been expressed by local blogs, including:

     CountryFriedRock.com

     FlorenceCo.blogspot.com

     theFlossip.com

     theMeadeFeed.com

     PennyWisePanache.com

     ProductiveNonconformist.blogspot.com
