What is a Blog Carnival?

A Blog Carnival is a particular kind of blog community. There are many kinds of blogs, and they contain articles on many kinds of topics. The Best In Coaching Carnival Blog collects together links pointing to blog articles on a particular issue that is relevent to coaches - but might be of interest to all readers. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every monday, or on the first of the month). Ours is bi-monthly, the second and fourth week of the month. Each edition is a special blog topic that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks.

All regular contributors will be listed in the left hand columm with a link to their blog. Check here for individual reprint guidlelines.

There is so much stuff in the blog-o-sphere, just finding interesting stuff is hard. The pupose of this carnival is to ensure that coaches can find out the latest in what is happening in our business. It is also a great way to learn what others are saying about coaching or how coahces are promoting themselves. If you are blogging on coaching issues, the Best In Coaching blog carnival is the place to share your work with others.

While the editions will be hosted here for the time being, it is expected to rotate between the various contributors to this Blog Carnival.
