Canadian Finance Blog

Posted: 24 Apr 2011 02:00 AM PDT

I mentioned it on Friday as well, but want to make sure any finance bloggers know about this option if you’re having issues with the Blog Carnival site for most of the other carnivals. I’ve set up a BC Workaround to submit your posts if they’re not going through on Blog Carnival. Quite a few domains are not making it by email to either the host of the submitter. You won’t get an error when submitting, but the emails will not be sent anywhere.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter Sunday!
