It happens at a different blog every month (or whenever) and the owner of that blog acts as host, selecting posts to be included and putting it all together. Other people can suggest posts to be included, either their own or other people's. It's a good way of cross-promoting blogs, creating a sense of community in the blogosphere, and collecting the best posts on a particular topic. For example, I hosted the 46th History Carnival <a href="http://www.investigations.4-lom.com/2007/01/14/history-carnival-46/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. That should give some idea of what it's all about. History Carnival is a very general one which covers all history, but there are also more specialised carnivals for some periods or topics.
