Coming November 1 to DS,TU: The History Carnival

Still in the mood for more carnival? Upon kind invitation from Sharon Howard, I've agreed to host History Carnival #70 here on November 1. Given the date, I'm expecting a Halloween-candy-fueled, Dia-de-los-Muertos-colorful, election-anxious event. It would be lovely to have a block of contributions on disability history topics for the occasion, so Disability Blog Carnival regulars, consider this a bonus opportunity.

About nominations: The "simple nomination form" doesn't seem to have a non-visual code to type, so to improve accessibility, you may also email me with your links for consideration, or the carnival's coordinator (at sharon@earlymodernweb.org.uk ) with "History Carnival" in the subject line. For the History Carnival, it's also possible to enter a link by attaching the del.ici.ous tag "historycarnival" to your post. Finally, you can just leave a note in the comments thread for this message, I'll be checking.

UPDATE 9/27: I heard from Sharon Howard this morning that, in response to the accessibility concerns, she's activated a RECAPTCHA security feature instead. So the simple nomination form should be more useful to more folks now. But if it still doesn't work for you, the other options remain.
