So, here it is almost Blogathon time once again. In case you've somehow missed all my yammering about it, here's a quick explanation: Each year, a bunch of bloggers sign up to raise money for the charity of their choice. On the assigned day, everyone starts at the same time, and posts at least once every half hour for 24 hours. People sponsor them, and donate money to the charity they chose at the end (this is on the honor system, the sponsors donate directly to the charity.)
I've already set up a separate blog on blogger, which you can see here. This is where I'll be posting during the 24 hours of the Blogathon, because updating this page by hand takes too long and too much thought for me to manage at 4am.
So far, I have one sponsor (who I don't even know, which is very cool!) If you want to sponsor me, just click here and it will take you to my sponsor page. If you want to check out the list of participants to see who's blogging for what charity, just click here. You can sponsor someone for just a dollar if you want to- every little bit makes us super happy. Since I have a limited budget, I usually sponsor several people whose blogs I enjoy and charities I support for $2-3 each.
If you'll be online Saturday, be sure to send me some IM's to keep me company! If you don't already have my screen name, leave a comment and I'll send it to you.
So other than your company, here's the other thing I need. Coming up with 48 things to post about throughout the day is always hard, so I have some ideas planned this year. One of them is to do periodic Top 10 Lists, such as Top 10 places I want to visit, Top 10 Nicknames for Tallulah, Top 10 whatever. So, if you can leave me ideas for what kinds of lists to do, or any other suggestions for what to post about, I'd appreciate it!
