Bloggers are really looking at what their role in the community is these days, and in the current crisis, they're looking at everything they can do to help. Now, the blog The Truth Laid Bear is promoting Blog For Relief Day, which aims to focus the attention of blogs around the world on "raising awareness of and funds for relief efforts to aid those affected by Hurricane Katrina," for one day —tomorrow, September 1. The project was rushed together late yesterday in an effort to get things moving as quickly as possible. They already have 296 blogs from 5 countries involved.
If you are planning on supporting the effort this Thursday, here's what I would ask you to do:
Select a charity you'd like to recommend your readers donate to, and check if it is already listed in the TTLB database here.
If your charity isn't yet listed, add it by using the form here.
The first two steps are optional, if you just want to promote one of the already-listed charities, you can skip those steps and just register your blog.
