Brian Renshaw posted the Biblical Studies Carnival XCV for January 2014 at New Testament Exegesis. Brian has done an excellent job, including all the usual categories, but also a collection of book reviews and interviews. I appreciate his “New Blogs” section, since there a few I did not know before this carnival. I am looking for volunteers for hosting future carnivals, so new bloggers take note – contact me via email or in a comment below and volunteer for an upcoming Carnival. I think that Brian’s use of Google Docs to create a submission form for links was a great idea – maybe he can share his nerdish knowledge with future carnival curators.
In other Biblioblog news, Jim West offers a collection of firsts for his first carnival of the year. Brian Small has a nice collections of Hebrews Highlights for the month at Polumeros kai Polutropos, and when Abram K-J posts his Septuagint Soirée I will add a link here.
Aaron White at Moisissumus Mose will be our host next month, but I need volunteers to host in March (due 4/1) and April (due 5/1). Jeff Carter has May (due 6/1), but the rest of the year is wide open. If you would like to host a Carnival on your site, please let me know via email (plong42 at gmail.com), or leave a comment below. Carnivals quite fun to write and are a great way to attract attention to your site.
I created a short video tutorial on how to create the form to collect links from others. Here is the link http://ntexegesis.com/blog/2014/2/8/creating-a-form-to-collect-submissions-for-the-carnival
Thanks, hopefully future carnival hosts will take advantage of this.
