Last year tons of bloggers participated in Blog Action Day 2007. 2007 was the kick off year for this fun event – the idea; to have bloggers all over the world come together to blog about one important issue on the same day. Last year’s topic was the environment, and I participated with many of my blogs. This blog wasn’t around last year, but it’s signed on for 2008.
This year, as you can see from the logo above, the topic is poverty, and I’m not quite sure what I’ll be posting about here, but poverty does affect housing and green living, so I’m sure I’ll pull something good together.
Are you signed up this year? Anyone with a blog, podcast, or so fourth can sign on to participate. All you have to do is register at Blog Action Day 2008, and then commit to blogging about poverty on October 15th.
Last year Blog Action Day was loads of fun. Tons of cool eco blogs (and neat non-green blogs) participated and it was great to see how everyone covered green issues from their blog’s unique perspective. An added perk is the extra traffic your blog will get (most of mine pulled in some extra readers). Hopefully this year you’ll join in and commit to Blog Action Day. Let me know if you’re participating so I can come visit your post.
