Welcome to the January 22, 2007 edition of the Carnival of Powerful Living!

A great big thank you to everyone who submitted a post for this issue!  As our carnival grows, I have to make harder and harder choices about which articles I include in each edition.  I’ve listed some tips below on how to increase your chances of getting published…

1)  Check your posts for spelling and gramatical errors before submitting.

2)  Make sure the permalink to your post is working properly.

3)  Always choose from the available categories.  I’ve provided a category for “Other Gems” in case you don’t know where yours fits in!

4)  Always submit before the deadline. 

Following these simple tips should increase your chances of getting published in most Blog Carnivals.  Good luck!
