Welcome to the Carnival of Creative Growth #28. As you may have noticed, this carnival is extremely late. Another one will be posted in two days to catch up on the accumulated submissions. Then, to my immense relief at a hectic time of year for my business, Gia Combs-Ramirez will host the Carnival of Creative Growth for the rest of the summer at her blog, The Science of Energy Healing.
So please enjoy reading the following articles chosen for their quality and variety. See you again in a couple of days!

Howard Ditkoff presents Josiah Leming: Brilliant, Haunting Music & Web 2.0 Drive American Idol Castoff’s Prototypical Success Story, saying, “Despite his exclusion from American Idol’s Top 24, Josiah Leming’s brilliant, emotional songs and touching backstory have moved thousands. The teenage dropout, who lived in his car for a year, is a prime example of how revolutionary “bottom-up” forces and technologies – such as Web 2.0 and e-commerce – are challenging traditional hierarchical models of talent discovery and promotion.

Hey thanks for all of the links to quality stuff. Creative personal growth is such an interesting area.
Who wants to hear something refreshing? Easy is as easy does is what I always say. So I found an easy way to make money. This thing I found is actually some software. The fact is, that this software is 100% legal, “white hat” and ethical, that even giant enterprises use it. And the best part – it is really running on full autopilot. Some people are tempted to exploit this software and use it for unethical web promotion but the owner is asking that everyone who is lucky enough to get it, please try to respect the laws of the internet. If you can spend no more than 3 minutes to download and setup this software, and then click the ‘Start Button’ just once to start this autopilot push button software… Then you can make money online. Basically what it does is bring a stream of free visitors to any website. Don’t even bother trying to figure out how this powerful software works. It’s a pretty amazing piece of software and it just simply… works. Check it out -> http://adf.ly/1WIB2
Right now it appears like Movable Type is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
