Carnival of the blue

Carnival of the Blue Sunset

2011-05-17T04:01:00.000-07:00

Next month will be the last edition of the Carnival of the Blue that I will be curating. The consensus among those I've polled is that the utility of blog carnivals has diminished in the last couple of years, especially with the rise in social media. Consequently, June may also be the last Carnival of the Blue. There is the possibility of transferring the curation of the carnival onto someone else. If you know anyone who is interested in the responsibility, please have them contact me.

It's been an honor and pleasure working with the online ocean blogging community.

Thank you.

Jason

Carnival of the Blue Guidelines

2010-11-26T18:29:00.000-08:00

I've been meaning to post guidelines for the Carnival of the Blue for quite some time. This is geared mostly towards new CotB hosts, but there are also pointers here for anyone wishing to contribute a post. If you have questions about this information, please let me know.
- Jason (dotoftheblue @ gmail . com)

BACKGROUND
Blog carnivals collect together links on a particular topic (blogcarnival.com/bc/faq.html). There are carnivals about botany, politics, neurology and more. They occur on a cyclical schedule, usually weekly or monthly.

The Carnival of the Blue is a monthly roundup of blog posts related to the oceans. The CotB got its start in June 2007 by Mark Powell (aka, blogfish). His goal was to celebrate World Oceans Day and also bring the ocean blogging community closer together.

CURATOR
The curator for the Carnival of the Blue is responsible for the overall management of the events. This includes posting and maintaining the CotB main website (see below), finding hosts for each month, composing and sending out the CotB newsmail and updating the Twitter account. The curator also forwards any contributions received via the blogcarnival.com submission form (see below).

Email: dotoftheblue @ gmail . com
Website: carnivaloftheblue.blogspot.com
Monthly Newsmail: eepurl.com/hk2P
Twitter: carnivalblue
Blog Carnival submission form: blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_8736.html

Mark Powell is the Carnival of the Blue founder. Jason Robertshaw is the current CotB curator.

HOSTS
Deadlines
A call for participation is posted at the CotB website once or twice a year. Bloggers can sign up by commenting on the call for participation post or by contacting the curator. Slots are often booked up to a year in advance. Subscribe to the CotB newsmail or Twitter feeds for announcements (see above). Each month a different host makes a Carnival of the Blue post on or near the first Monday of each month. Contributions are due the Friday before the first Monday of each month.

A host might receive contributions anytime during the month prior to their hosting date. So someone hosting in May might receive posts throughout April. Contributions may come directly to the host from contributors. The curator also forwards any contributions that come in via the blogcarnival.com submission form. Most contributions theypically arrive closer to the submission deadline (and sometimes even past it). It is up to the leniency of the host to decide how far past the deadline to accept contributions.

Host Guidelines
Guidelines for contributors are listed below. Beyond those, there are no hard rules as to what can be included in a CotB post. It is up to the discretion of the host as to the appropriateness of content, but profane, derogatory and discriminatory content is never befitting. The hosts can also, at their discretion, include a few links in addition to those sent in by contributors. Special Note: there are scammers that take advantage of the blog carnival system, looking to boost their search engine rankings by fooling legitimate sites into linking to them. An easy way to spot fakers is by looking at the contributed link. If their website looks phony, doesn’t have an archive of ocean-related content and seems to be hawking online degrees, timeshares or merchandise, they are probably fake. If you have any question about the legitimacy of a contributed link, please contact the Carnival of the Blue curator (see above).

Format
The format of the actual Carnival of the Blue post is open. Visiting previous Carnivals of the Blue is the best way to get a sense of how other hosts have structured their posts. Archives of past posts are linked on the CotB website. However, each month’s contribution typically fall into self-evident themes like: invertebrates, art and poetry, deepsea, conservation, coastal, education, etc. You can organize by these themes, or by geography or alphabetically—whichever way works best for you. Each link is usually given a summary by the host. This summary can be just a few words or a whole paragraph, but should be enough to give a reader some context. Some hosts include photos and other images too. Be sure you have permission to use any copyrighted content and give proper attribution as necessary.

CONTRIBUTORS
The Carnival of the Blue is posted on or near the first Monday of each month. Contributions are due the Friday before the first Monday of each month. Guidelines for contributions are as follows:

Written in the previous month since the last posted Carnival of the Blue.
Be on some topic related to the oceans. Your entire blog does not need to be about the oceans. Just the contributed link. For example, if you write about knitting but have a blog post about woolen whale patterns, by all means consider sending it in.
Written by the contributor. Don’t submit links you have not personally written.
In blog format. Direct links to PDFs, videos and other non-blog format content is not suitable.
News articles are not the intent of the Carnival of the Blue. If it’s something ocean-related and really interesting, write a blog post about it and then contribute that post.

The easiest way to contribute a link is by using the blogcarnival.com submission form: blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_8736.html

Alternatively, links can be sent directly to the Carnival of the Blue curator or to that month’s host. Email contacts are provided on the CotB website.

It is typical and graceful for any contributor included in a Carnival of the Blue post to mention it on their own blogs with a link back to that month’s post. This creates a virtuous circle between the hosts, contributors and readers.

Carnival of the Blue Community Meeting
I am also planning an informal Carnival of the Blue Community Meeting for early January (date to be determined).

Monthly Invitations to Carnival of the Blue

2010-02-02T13:50:00.000-08:00

It appears there is confusion over how to use the blogcarnival.com submission form. Or maybe a lack of awareness that it exists? As an alternative, I am setting up a mail list and campaign system to help with sending monthly email reminders.

To get the latest reminders and updates about the Carnival of the Blue, sign up using the link below. This service will send you about two notices a month. The first will be a reminder about future Carnivals and participation procedures. The second will be an update when the latest Carnival of the Blue is posted. Previous Carnival of the Blue participants will be added to the system automatically. However, if you wish to be removed from the system, please reply to dotoftheblue @ gmail . com and let me know or use the Unsubscribe features included with the system. This is a spam-free list. You only get bacn.

You can send submissions either directly to dotoftheblue @ gmail . com, or use the handy new submission form at blogcarnival.com. Remember to include:

- post URL
- author name
- brief summary

I've been getting a couple of submissions via blogcarnival.com that are just links to news articles or Wikipedia entries. Just to reiterate, the intent of a blog carnival is to feature blogs and the Carnival of the Blue entries should be germane to the ocean.

January's carnival will be at The Monterey Bay Aquarium's SeaNotes. There are other blank dates for 2010. If you are interested and able to host the Carnival, please let leave a comment.

Ocean bloggers rejoice, our carnival was a rousing success and it will live on! At the bottom of this post is a schedule, please sign up by sending me an email with your choice for hosting. Each carnival will cover the previous month's ocean blogging, and be posted on (or near) the first Monday of the month.

Except, look at this already. Booked through the end of the year. Should we go to twice monthly?

Carnival of the blue is meant to provide a community for ocean-related blogging and bloggers. This is the homepage for Carnival of the Blue, a place where you can return to find a link to the traveling Carnival as it moves from blog to blog.

I hope all you ocean bloggers and readers will gather at the traveling carnival and share insights with each other and the wider world. If you want to have one of your posts included in the carnival, please send an email to the host of the next carnival, according the the schedule listed here. Please include a link to your ocean-related post and a short description of the contents.

On World Ocean Day, June 8, 2007, Carnival of the blue is at blogfish. Email submissions to mpowell (at) oceanconservancy (dot) org

My hope is that this carnival will occur monthly, on about the 3rd day of each month, linking to posts from the previous calendar month. If you want to host the carnival in the future, please contact mpowell (at) oceanconservancy (dot) org
