New Features in the About.com Web Logs Forums

Two new features have been added to the About.com Web Logs forums. You'll now find folders for Blog Contests and Blog Carnivals. If you're hosting a blog contest or carnival or know of some that are going on, stop by the forum and share the news with other bloggers.

Blog contests and carnivals are not only fun, but they're also a great way to drive traffic to your own blog. Follow the link to read more about how blog carnivals can benefit you as a blogger.

There are already some contests and carnivals listed in the forum, which you can see (or add to) by following these links:

• Blog Contests
• Blog Carnivals
