Welcome to the Friday, February 13, 2009 edition of On the Moneyed Midways, where today is your lucky day for finding the best of the past week's money and business-related blog carnivals!
It never fails. The week or so after we rant about organizing a blog carnival around a timely event or holiday is a recipe for disaster, along comes an example of how to do it right. This week, that honor goes to the Carnival of Real Estate's Valentine's Day-themed carnival, which is simply well done. If more carnival hosts took this week's host's approach, we'd have a lot less dread going into those weeks where there's a greeting card holiday involved....
In other news, we've finally broken away from blogrolling.com for managing our blogroll. They've had technical issues for some time, but with no end to those issues in sight, we finally took matters into our own hands and made some much needed updates. Why explain this here in this week's edition of OMM? Well, our frequent readers will recognize the much belated addition of the Best Blogs We've Found and a number of other excellent blogs to our rolls - if you're looking for solid reading, you won't be disappointed by clicking your way through our list of the best!
Speaking of solid reading, the best posts we found among the business and money-related blog carnivals of the week that was are just a mouse click away....
