I'd like to see the weekly editor of the carnivals limit the articles to their favorite five or something. It has just seemed to turn into a bunch of vultures hovering over a pile of rotting backlinks.

They also seem to catch my attention when I do searches. So I got into some habit of doing it but hopefully it's not too much! I have seen some blogs with names such as "Top 10 Things" which only scrape information for their posts, all titles saying 10 this and 10 that. I heard they got pretty popular.

I occasionally like to do list posts myself; it does make for a snappier title and easier post if you really do want to make a bunch of related points. But it's a bit of a crutch; too many list posts and your blog looks silly... I only read lists if the list is short, makes sense as a list, and the writeup around the items are also short.

Makes it easier to scan. And if interesting, easier to spot something relevant to your personal situation. The carnivals are a bit saturated. I only keep up with CofPF and FoF. Hardly ever read the rest. I like lists. Makes it easier to scan. And if interesting, easier to spot something relevant to your personal situation.
