Dave’s Whiteboard

The Working/Learning blog carnival doesn’t have a lot of structure. Each month, the host may invite some participants, but you should feel free to invite yourself.

A host may suggest a topic that fits into the overall theme of “work at learning; learning at work.” And keep in mind that the host may run out of space or otherwise miss your contribution. C’mon back for the next carnival.

Some suggestions for participants:

1. Let the host know you plan to participate. (Links to hosts here.)
2. Write a post that you’ll publish on the day of the carnival. If your blog software permits, write your post ahead of time and save it as a draft or unpublished. Send a permalink to the host, along with a brief description.
3. If your software doesn’t allow saving ahead of time, publish your post the day before the carnival. Send the permalink to the host. When the host post appears, edit your own post to include a permalink back to the host post.

Here’s an example of a participating post with that link to the host post.
