Blogging for a good cause
Now here's a way to get a little more publicity/traffic for your blog *and* contribute to a good cause/charity of your choice: Blogathon 2007!

From the official event website:
"What is a Blogathon?

First some terminology: "blog" is a shortened version of "weblog" which is a frequently updated personal website. Most blogs have date stamps on the entries, and consist of links and commentary.

Now, remember when you were in school and you would bowl for charity? And for every pin you knocked down you got, say, ten cents? Or run for a dollar a mile? During the Blogathon, people update their websites every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. For this, they collect sponsorships. Pledges can be a flat donation, or a certain amount for every hour the blogger manages to stay awake."

The Blogathon will take place Saturday, July 28th at 6am PST.

Learn more about this great way to blog for charity and get registration information here.


(***Thanks to forum member Jill for posting this info initially - Jill blogged last year for the Blogathon and raised $900! She's at it again this year, and if you'd like to learn how she plans to spend her 24 hours of blogging and get info on how to sponsor her please click here.)

Well that's OK! (With my own recent spate of very public typos [in my last email to forum members...sheesh I can really relate to that 'boo') 900 is still *very* impressive!
