Change.org Launches Blog Action Day 2009; Expanding Team of Bloggers Hey Changemakers, We have two exciting announcements to make this week. First, Change.org has been asked to take the reins of Blog Action Day, the annual event that unites the world's bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day. A few weeks ago we asked bloggers everywhere to suggest topics for this year's event, and the overwhelming response was in support of focusing on the gravest threat to world today:climate change. Blog Action Day itself is on October 15th, and we launched the new site this week at www.blogactionday.org to start accepting sign-ups. We've already received a flood of interest from bloggers around the world, with more than 1,800 blogs with seven million readers across 98 countries registered. If you have a blog - either personal or professional - click here to find out more information and register your blog now to be part of the largest social change event on the web. The second exciting piece of news we have to share?Change.org is expanding its team of bloggers! That's right, we're looking for writers extraordinaire who want to join our team and cover one or more of our 20 causes - from Health Care to Education to Global Poverty. If you're interested in blogging on an issue you're passionate about for an audience of more than a million activists and nonprofit leaders - and getting paid to boot - let us know. Contracts range from 1-6 posts a week and details are atwww.change.org/bloggers.

A blogger's dream vs reality

If you are a blogger, no further explanation necessary here.  :-)

Blogger is acting weird...apologies!

On days when I expect to be busy, I write my posts ahead of time and pre-post them. Blogger has a new feature that allows you to set a posting date somewhere in the future.

I've been using this feature quite a bit the past few months and for some reason its been acting up in the past two weeks. Although I had preposted items for most of this week, they didn't show up until today. I'm still not sure why. So I wanted to apologize for this strange behavior...posts from previous dates showing up randomly. I don't know how to fix this. But I appreciate your patience and forbearance as always.

thanks!
