Just wanted to invite you to check out a few of the blog carnivals that were kind enough to host some of my posts this past week. Here they are:

The Gaming My Blog Carnival has some interesting posts on video gaming – one of my true addictions.

The Twitter Buzz Carnival has some excellent tips for using the popular social media site.

The Carnival of Positive Thinking has some great posts to ensure you stay positive.

Xamuel.com Blog Carnival – Has a great list of posts on a variety of topics.

A couple weeks back I pointed out some excellent websites by people who I feel really know their stuff about speaking. These folks are not only speakers that speak about speaking (I know, that sounds confusing) but their material is good – in other words, if you follow their advice you’ll become a better speaker.

There’s another site I wanted to share with you by someone who knows a lot about things that can go wrong during a talk. Lee Potts writes a blog called “Breaking Murphy’s Law” where he shares advice, tips and stories to help presenters avoid making those critical mistakes. I first “met” Lee back when I hosted a blog carnival; he was the first one to submit a post for the first carnival I did. He’s got a lot of great information on his site, so check it out.

Periodically, I like to share some sites that find interesting and worth checking out, so here are some you might not want to miss.

Best Public Speaking Training – David Portney has a blog that’s definitely worth checking out. If you’ve ever read the comments he’s left here, you know he’s got some great information to share.

The Carnival of Inspiration included a post from this site. Smart Chick also had a nice write up of the carnival.

The Rich Life Carnival also included a post from this blog.

Another post from this blog was included in the Observations on Life Blog Carnival.

I encourage you to visit these sites and see what they have to offer. The blog carnivals have a lot of posts from various blogs so they are worth an extra close look.
