The secret life of bloggers – Uff Da!

It is Friday, and here on my blog Friday’s are for fun.  I think I will start this post by pointing out that bloggers do not have secret lives.  Our lives are more public than most.  In fact the idea of  a "secret life" cracks me up.

I am not complaining, I get wonderful emails from all over the country, and have gotten to meet some interesting people.   Some are more interesting than others . . .a few are kind of scary.

With that out of the way I would like to say that some bloggers do have secrets.  I keep discovering great Minnesota blogs and am building a special blog roll for them.  Be patient, I am working on it, and it is OK to send me a note with a link.  I would like to help promote Minnesota blogs, even those of my competitors.  (You know who you are and I know who you are too, just keep your hands off the tiara)

Announcing the Minnesota Carnival of Uff Da! since this event is for Minnesota bloggers I won’t bother explaining to the rest of my readers what Uff Da means.  I have to say the word does come in handy and may be used instead of certain other words . . . . never mind.

You can bet the rules are simple because I made them up myself.  The deadline for article submission will be the second and fourth Sunday of the month and the carnival will be published on the following Tuesday.  Counting by two’s is just easier.  Find the details and a link to the submission form here: Carnival Page or just click on "Uff Da" in the side bar.

Carnivals are a great way to promote your blog and to get to know other Minnesota bloggers. It also gives those of you who can write a great opportunity to showcase your talents.  Articles for the carnival can include just about anything related to life in Minnesota.  Write about your city, a place, a person, a business, a neighborhood, traffic jam’s, the state legislature, your city council, schools or even real estate use your imagination.

Anyone who is interested in hosting future Minnesota Carnival’s of Uff Da, please contact me.  Let’s put Minnesota on the map!  I guess I am not very good at geography, my husband says it is already on the map.

Have a great weekend, say Uff Da as often as you like, go ahead and throw in a few random you betcha’s and don’cha knows while you are at it.
