This post compilation meme is structured like the Carnival of the Vanities but concentrates on the best posts from the history of weblogs. Post submission criteria are very simple. The post must be at least 2 months old and the submitter must think it is a very good post. How easy is that?

Bestofme@jpeacock.net is the address for submissions.
Submissions should include the following:

• Post Title


• Post Permalink


• Author's Name (or handle)


• Weblog Name (if not obvious from the link)


• Submitter's Name/Handle (if different from Author)


• Description of post and/or why this post is being submitted (That is, what about this post makes you think it is one of the best from the weblog).

The only absolutely required item is the permalink. Other items may be left blank on the Bestofme Symphony post if they aren't provided with the submission. That could mean less people will go to read the post so submitters are encouraged to include as much of the info as possible.

Note that a post does not have to be submitted by its author so readers and lurkers with or without their own weblogs may contribute.

Deadline for submissions for each week's Symphony are Sunday at midnight (Eastern Standard Time) and a new Symphony will be posted each Monday. Submissions are accepted 24 x 7 so any that come in after the cutoff will appear in the next week's symphony.

If you would like to receive a weekly reminder for Bestofme Symphony submissions just drop me a line.

1 I love the name, it's so sing-song-able. To a cha-cha beat. I'll be searching my backlog for a while.

2 I have something that perfectly fits the bill. Cleaning it up a tad and updating it a bit, so it will be ready for the debut.

5 I hope I've done my part. I'll see if I have anything post-worthy. Probably not, but humor me. Heh. I tried to ping, but was brutally rebuffed.

6 Pylorns- Never had a problem with them until today. I've been using that email for a month ''testing" it. Margi -- I have spanked my site for its temerity in rebuffing you. Had I been at the helm, your ping would have been warmly embraced.

Go check it out... hurry, before it changes... I get a crack-high from design like everybody else gets from blogging... maybe because I can't write for shit... who knows????

9 You can still submit posts though - they don't have to be your own. Thanks for the pimping. I'll be over at the corner.

10 Thanks for the invite to the new idea, I like it alot and will be sending over one of my favorite posts of all time later on. Or you can link it from here. There are a couple of other top tiers I might want to include, like this week's rant against the commercialisation of Christmas but that'll have to wait a few months before it gets submitted.

11 My blog has a category with the same title. Now the toughest part is choosing one of them...
