@Kyle: You’re very welcome, and you did a pretty good job of getting the difference. I’m going to elaborate a bit more, just to clarify and explain things more.

@FS: The basic difference is this: with a weekly wrap, the author of the blog chooses the articles he or she wants to feature, without regards to anything other than their own tastes (as per your weekly wrap). Carnivals differ in that (a) they usually have some particular overarching theme (in this case, the Carnival of Twenty-Something Finances, it’s articles that involve finances for Twenty-Somethings), (b) people usually submit their own articles rather than the host choosing them independently (although the host has some say in what to include or not), and (c) the creator of the carnival allows other people to host the carnival (I didn’t create the Carnival of Twenty-Something Finances, Lulu (the first commenter on this post) did, and I’m just ‘borrowing’ it). That’s all there is to carnivals; to see some of the ones that currently exist, check this list: http://blogcarnival.com/bc/clist.php?id=0&directory_id=16&keyword=&sort=4

Nothing wrong with that, it’s your site. I think that’s just the generally accepted difference between them. And carnival articles are often submitted.

Kyle – but I like to include any post in my weekly wrap, regardless of when they were published.

Thanks for featuring my site.

@Samurai: I’m new at this and not 100% sure but a weekly wrap up features popular articles from the last week while a carnival features quality articles that are not necessarily recently published.

Very impressive Carnival!

Rog, do you mind helping me differentiate between a weekly wrap up, and a Carnival? Is a Carnival like a competition to submit entries or something, with a theme, that you host on your own site?

@Lulu: Well, you can hardly expect the ‘evil clown edition’ to skip Pennywise, could you? As your example shows, he certainly fits the bill. Plus, I enjoy me some Tim Curry, so I like to throw him in whenever possible. Thanks for the compliments; I aim to please.

@ChristianPF and Wren: You’re very welcome; I’m always glad to include good articles in the carnivals I host. Keep up the good work, and I’ll be sure to keep including you.

@Manshu: You’re very welcome, as well. I just wanted to do something different, and it’s hard to get further away from PF than to go for ‘evil clowns’

@xing: You can submit to the carnival of Twenty-Something Finance here: http://blogcarnival.com/bc/cprof_1991.html Feel free to check out some of the other carnivals there; there are plenty of good ones out there.

This is very interesting and the articles are all relevant and useful. How do I participate in this as carnival?

Thanks for including the post, I like your theme, was quite surprised by it actually. Last thing I’d expect from a PF carnival

You almost made me have a heart attack with that evil clown from IT. I saw that movie as a child and I don’t think anything can compare to how that messed up my mind.

I guess I have a fear of losing money that is equal to my fear of Pennywise and his sharp teeth….

Great job on hosting…..creepy.
