To run the Carnival of the Munuvians. Apply within.
I worked out how to automagically make posts from Movable Type show up on the munu portal*, so it's high time we revived this. The first attempt at it didn't get very far, mainly because... I didn't do anything. So this time I'm looking for scapegoats volunteers.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to ferret out the bestest posts from right across Munuvia. I think a weekly Carnival will be the main attraction, but you'll also be able to pop individual posts up on Page One for 24 hours to give them a bit of infamy attention.
Who's with me?
Update: You'll see, if you go to the MuNu portal that I actually have this working. Leave a comment on the blog and watch the portal automatically update to reflect it! All done by the miracle of symbolic links!
The Carnival blog obviously needs some work, but I should be able to kick it into shape over the weekend. I'm thinking of making it look just like the portal. Or maybe not.
I also need to make trackback autodiscovery work when you link to the portal. Or... Actually, it probably does already. Let me try: Ping!
Hokay, autodiscovery works, now I just have to sort out the little problem with Fluffy blocking internal trackbackery. And make the Carnival blog look less like a piece of crap than it currently does.
* It's a bit round-about, but it does work.
Posted by Pixy Misa at October 21, 2005 09:22 AM | TrackBackSo basicly you're looking for somebody who has a lot of time to read Munuvians, and bookmark the good stuff for the Carnival. Sounds like it might work best with a rotating "host" (although the BOMS seems to thrive with only one person assembling it--but he just posts the, um, posts, rather than searching for them, too.)
This sounds complicated.....

Posted by caltechgirl at October 21, 2005 05:56 PMYep, rotating hosts - except that it will run at the Carnival blog instead of at your blog, because it needs to do the cross-posty thing to the portal. Or you could post it to both blogs, if you like.
Also, people can do one-off posts at the Carnival to highlight something special mid-week.
Posted by Pixy Misa at October 21, 2005 06:37 PMSo, yeah. Rotating hosts for the weekly roundup, plus an elite editorial team for the everyday.
