Today is supposed to be the day I post all of the submissions I receive for this week's Carnival of the Godless, though I've only received one submission. Being a host of this was a little nerve racking for me because I am a planner. I feel most comfortable having a plan and knowing, at least to a small degree, the sequence of events so I can better plan what I'm going to do and when. But I haven't heard anything from the CoG organizer so I'm not sure what to do. So far, as it's been explained to me from the last hostess, you're emailed automatically as submissions come in (if I understood her right). If that's not what happens, perhaps all of the submissions get collected by the organizer and the night before they all get emailed to the current host. Well, I haven't gotten anything like that yet either. Taking this on, I wanted to make it run like clock work for the creator of it, because I don't want to botch his idea. I'll keep you updated and post it whenever I get the submissions. If there are none, I'll just post it myself with articles I think might be of interest to atheist readers.
If anyone has any information I'd greatly appreciate it.
12:00 - Noon - Update: Well I emailed J. Braden, as far as I know the current organizer, and I haven't heard back from him yet. As I said before, I am collecting posts to create my own CoG for everyone. If I receive the submissions sometime today or tomorrow because of some unknown delay I will add them. Hopefully I hear back from Mr. Braden soon.
3:00 pm - Update: I still haven't heard back from Mr. Braden but I went ahead and found a handful of posts for your viewing pleasure until I am able to get this mess sorted out. In six hours, which will be 9:00 pm Arizona time, I will post the Carnival as is until I get some feedback from Mr. Braden. I'm sorry this Carnival isn't running very smoothly. I'll keep everyone posted.
6:20 pm - Update: OK, Mr. Braden emailed me and he gave me an extension, so I'll be hosting the Carnival next Sunday, the 4th. He forwarded to me all of the submissions; the automatic system that was supposed to forward submissions to me failed to work for some reason. I'm glad we got all that straightened out. So, you can forget the last update.
9:20 pm -Update: I've freed up some time this evening so I will start work on the Carnival now. I should be done in maybe two hours or so. I'm a night owl so it shouldn't be too late for me. To all who submitted your articles I'm very sorry about the delay.
