Introducing Carnival of the Magnolias

The Carnival of the Magnolias is the official blog carnival of the Southern Blog Federation. You don't have to be a member of the community to submit your article but you must be from one of the states which we recognize as being a part of "the south."

The purpose of this carnival is to highlight the best and brightest posts of the week written by southern bloggers from around the blogosphere.

Each week the carnival will be hosted either here, on the Southern Blog Federation homepage, or on one of the blogs from the SBF.

The Carnival will be posted each week on either Sunday night or Monday. Entries are due by Sunday night at 7 PM EST. If you're interested in submitting the easiest way is through the Carnival Submit Form. If you'd rather not use the form you can email your request to southern dot league at gmail dot com. Please include your name, a permalink to the specific entry, the entry title, a short description of the entry, your trackback uri (if you have one), and, if not already a member of the SBF, annotate your home state in the submission.

If you are interested in hosting this carnival in the future, email me at everyman dot blog at gmail dot com.

The first Carnival of the Magnolias will be held here and will kick off on October 31st, 2005.

Special thanks to Brad from The Unrepentant Individual for suggesting the name.
