It was such a pleasure hosting the carnival this week, and I found some killer new blogs that I'm going to bookmark. I hope you do the same. Thanks to everyone who submitted. As a side note, I read all of these posts in Firefox, some blogs didn't render correctly in that browser, so I moved on. If you have a blog and you haven't already checked it in several browsers, you may want to do that.

Best Regards
