Pre-wrap up on Carnival

Pre-wrap up on Carnival Ok, tomorrow Im *hoping* to wrap up the carnival, officially, with a cool summary. I need to link to Janet Meiners entry, which I didnt see because theres a little glitch with a blog plugin (sorry for those that have tried to leave comments and walked away frustrated should be fixed today). So this is the second-to-last post that I expect to do on the carnival, as I have something else Im anxious to get started on for next week. If you are a digger, please go to this link and digg this whole carnival thing. Janet Meiner has been blogging as the NewsPaperGrl for quite a while and pretty much puts it all out there. She asks some how to questions that are pretty interesting to anyone that is involved in driving business through the web, has a keen interest in PR (press releases, etc.) and how technology plays into it. Many folks find her blog informative as they try and do their job or build their personal business. She also is no stranger to unemployment (or, job changes) read Janets entry here. And finally, John R. sent me an e-mail in response to my question what exactly did you take away from this carnival? His reply is below:=== BEGIN OBSERVATIONS ===So many great blog posts from a lot of folks I had not known of in the past.FJR> Hmmm, people will give you their best thinking if you ask!
