A blog carnival?

So, what is a blog carnival.

Blogging basics 101 provides a good definition. As does wiki

‘A Blog Carnival is a type of blog event. It is similar to a magazine, in that it is dedicated to a particular topic, and is published on a regular schedule, often weekly or monthly. Each edition of a blog carnival is in the form of a blog article that contains permalinks links to other blog articles on the particular topic.’

3 great reasons to use Carnivals?
