The 219th edition of the longest running internet blog carnival, the well known Carnival of the Vanities continues at Kehaar's Silflay Hraka.
The carnival, and indeed the entire blog carnival idea, was born four years ago at Bigwig's Silflay Hraka blog. It is now back home to Silflay Hraka, as Bigwig's brother Kehaar has assumed the reins with great results.
Carnival of the Vanities is the original collection of blog postings, assembling some of the best and wide ranging bloggers on the internet.
This week's Carnival of the Vanities entries include politics, literature, religion, humour, and seasonal topics.
I have an entry in this week's Carnival of the Vanities as well.
My post is titled "Andy Warhol: Fifteen minutes of fame" where I discuss how American artist, social commentator, and icon Andy Warhol, perhaps best known for his stylistic paintings of Marilyn Monroe and Campbell Soup cans, was a paleo-blogger. Before there were blogs and the blogosphere, Andy Warhol understood the power of the media to build an image. When he coined the famous fifteen minutes label, Warhol could well have been discussing the power of blogs. After all, a blog can turn a reviously unknown individual or company into a global force. The only difference is the relative term of what constitutes fifteen minutes.
A great participation option is to simply e-mail your entry to the new e-mail address:

As I suggest elsewhere, hosting and contributing to the various internet blog carnivals is a great promotional idea for your blog.
When you send an entry to Carnival of the Vanities, or any of the many internet blog Carnivals, don't forget to link to the hosted edition. It's not only common courtesy, but helps to increase visitor traffic for all entrants. It also shows your appreciation of the hard work done by the host in preparing the post. Everyone shares in the benefits of the expanded Carnival readership.
Show the Carnival some linky love.
Next week's edition of Carnival of the Vanities appears once again at Kehaar's Silflay Hraka.
In the meantime, head on over to the Silflay Hraka hosting of Carnival of the Vanities and enjoy the posts on offer.
You will almost certainly be introduced to some great new and interesting blogs.
