Life Is Risky

Welcome to the May 8, 2007 edition of Blog It and Earn It.

Let me start by saying thanks to Jane for letting me host the “Blog It and Earn It” blog carnival, I have really enjoyed it. This has been a really great week for the carnival. There were thirteen submissions in all and I couldn’t believe the diversity of the entries. I really hope each and every one of you who read this post will take the time to visit these authors and if nothing else leave a comment. Blog Carnivals are a great way for bloggers to get exposure and I would love to see even more submissions next week.

Speaking of next week, Jane has agreed to let me host again! YES! So get those submissions going!
