Question: Have you received any fresh submissions for the next edition of this carnival? I ask because I suspect blogcarnival.com is malfunctioning with respect to submissions. The form works fine and you hit submit and it appears to submit your post. But confirmation emails never arrive.
I’ve submitted to a few carnivals during the last few days and my submissions seem to have gone into the ether. And I know of someone else who’s having the same problem.
I notified the site owner a couple of days ago via site email, but I haven’t heard anything and don’t even know if he got it.
