Blogging For Charity

If you like to blog, don't mind staying awake for 24 hours, and want to benefit a charity, you might like to take part in Blogathon 2006. Here's how it works: · you sign up at the Blogathon site · you pick a charity to support (if you can't think of one, they provide a list of possible charities) · you collect pledges from sponsors (you can put a button on your site to let people know what you're doing) · on 29 July you sign in at the Blogathon site (so they can monitor you); · beginning at the same time as everyone else (according to the Fixed Time World Clock) you blog every 30 minutes for 24 hours There is also a Sabbath schedule for those who do not wish to blog on Saturdays. This event began in 2001, and over the years several hundred thousand dollars have been raised. Via Yahoo! Picks.
