Are You Ready To Post On October 15th For Blog Action Day? Make Your Small Business Count
Blog Action Day 2007 is October 15. The theme is the environment. 

The people behind the Blog Action Day initiative ask us to consider the power of every blogger all over the world blogging about the same topic on the same day. With over 70 million blogs worldwide, that is a lot of blogger power.

The idea is to draw attention to an important cause. Al Gore has just won a Nobel Peace prize for his initiatives in this area, but we can all do our little bit.

This is an issue that affects us all. Small business has a big part to play in this. Green business is more than a catch phrase. Is your business green enough?

I have recently initiated a month-long blogging campaign on my blog, The Giving Hands (http://thegivinghands.org), which began on Sept 15th and will end on Oct 15th in conjunction with Blog Action Day. I would like to invite you to join the current discussions, do you have any tips to share?

I've checked your site and you're doing some great things there... great idea to blog for one month on the environment, culminating on Blog Action Day.

Happy Blog Action Day 2007! It wasn't so long ago that being green was regarded as a fringe fad. "Greenies" were disparaged as being latter day hippies, out of touch with the modern world and progress.  As Kermit said "It's... [Read More]
