Consumer Focused Carnival of Real Estate

The guidelines for this carnival.

As always, I arranged the entries that met guidelines into three levels, based upon originality, usefulness to the consumer, and how much thought and effort and research went into an entry.

Folks, this was pathetic. I've got two usable articles this time. Everything else was a thinly disguised commercial solicitation - or even lacking the thin disguise. That's not what this carnival is about.

If this continues, the carnival will go monthly, or stop altogether.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

There were no strongly recommended articles this time.

SPAM AND OTHER RIDICULOUS SUBMISSIONS

What a post about Mommy's Medicine Bag has to do with real estate, I don't know. Some things are just beyond mortal ken - such as any possible excuse for submitting that post to a real estate carnival.

For those who might object to the treatment their submission received, the relevant information has been in the guidelines since before submissions were being accepted for this carnival. Having been told to read the guidelines, you willingly submitted these posts. Live with it.

Consumer Focused Carnival of Real Estate will return in two weeks (July 16th, 2008), here at Searchlight Crusade, unless someone else wants to host. Deadline for submissions will be July 14th. If I do not get a minimum of six usable articles for that carnival, the carnival will go monthly.

UPDATE: Everything submitted as of July 14th was either vapid spam or contained errors too big to ignore. Therefore, the next carnival will be July 30th, and the carnival will thereafter be monthly.
