    This sounds like a great idea! I have a geology blog too and would like to be one of the contributors. My blog is: http://earthly-musings.blogspot.com I am a geology lecturer who teaches part time, leads backbacks within the Grand Canyon, and accompanies internation expeditions around the world. Thank you.

    Wayne…keep an eye on this site for “calls for posts” for future carnivals. They are typically due around the 15th of each month. When the next one comes out, you simply e-mail the host for that month the link to your post and they compile them.

    If you’d like to host a carnival, also keep an eye on this site for discussions of organizing. I think the next couple (January and February 2008) are already taken.
