Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants: It's all about the barnyard

This week's Carnival had an unusual challenge: use the word "barnyard" in your post. And the bloggers produced. Here are seven great posts, all of which use the word, some with surprising grace.

• Cause-Related Marketing examines Microsoft's "i'm Initiative" in Windows Live Messenger and Multiple Charities.
  
• Don't Tell the Donor shares about the Mint Jubilee Gala, which is held just before the Kentucky Derby, in Not your average barnyard gala.
  
• e.politics takes a look at the crazy world of forbidden information that wants to spread online in Defying the Copy-Protection Police with a Wave of Online Civil Disobedience.
  
• Getting Attention shows how organizations get attention in How Can Your Nonprofit Become King of the Barnyard?
  
• Katya's Nonprofit Marketing Blog reveals the power of creative thinking in Tips for tipping boring communications upside down.
  
• Nonprofit Communications helps us be smarter about how we use the internet in Don't Overlook Easy Ways to Track Your Online Marketing.
