I borrowed this post from Active Rain blogger Christine Forgione, it's a compilation of other posts from House Values Carnival. I post on this site mostly so those of you looking at the whole blogging thing can get your arms around some of the value of reading and linking.

After a long two week break from the Carnival.. Its BACK. I actually forgot about it to tell you the truth.

This week the Carnival was hosted by Housevalues. (I had no idea they even had a blog).

HouseValues highlighted Bloggers who closed out 2006 and predicted 2007. I wanted to just touch on the articles that I found were interesting, but to view the entire list of features head over to Housevalues.com where they have all the goods.
