Take Two: New Button for Holiday Shopping Carnival

I’m new to the carnival thing. I’ve hosted a few, but, really, they’re always by the seat of my pants. I’m no Queen o’ Carnival, but I’m learning and that’s half the battle. So here’s the deal. I don’t think the original button was conveying the true intent of the carnival–it looked and read more like we were going to compare our own Christmas wish lists instead of giving each other ideas of what to buy or make. So Shannon generously and graciously offered to make another button for me. Here it is if you’d like to use it.

I encourage you to download the image and place it in your post
next week and also place it in your sidebar to spread the word! If you
need help doing that, visit Blogging Basics 101–I have a tutorial that will walk you through adding a button to your sidebar!

Or, if you just need the code, you can use this:

<a

IMPORTANT NOTES!

1. I am a carni idiot.
2. You can use either banner. If you’ve already gone to the trouble of
   posting the button or banner on your site you don’t need to change it
   unless you want to. I appreciate that you put it on your site.
3. You do not actually have to use either of the buttons to participate. However, if you do put them up, it will help spread the word and thus the participation. The more participants, the more traffic for all of us.
4. This is a Holiday Shopping carnival, not a Christmas Wish-List carnival. You can see the overview in this post.

Thanks! I can’t wait to see what your special gifts your list has on
it! Thanks for sticking with me people. I’m not making any more changes. I swear. See you on Monday, November 12 for the The Holiday Shopping Carnival!
