Now Entering Blog Action Day 2008 Mode

October 8th, 2008 by Easton Ellsworth

Dear reader,

At this very moment I am changing out of my civilian clothes into the Blog Action Day 2008 supersuit.

Super because of the responsibility it bestows - but certainly not because of its unworthy occupant.

This blog might remain quiet until Wednesday, October 15th - Blog Action Day.

On that day, I will not only join the world’s blogs in raising awareness about poverty, but I will help manage the whole event as its assistant event coordinator.

So you’ll hear from me at the Blog Action Day blog, via the Blog Action Day Twitter account, via more than a dozen social media websites, and via the huge BlogTalkRadio talkathon on the big day.

I’ll be back in my Visionary Blogging Man suit once Blog Action Day ends, sharing blog improvement advice and perspectives on how to become a better blogger.

But I hope you and I never see or approach poverty the same again.

My Part in Blog Action Day 2008

I will scratch and claw at the walls of my personal limits this next week to help make this once-in-a-lifetime event truly unforgettable.

I have told my colleagues at the International Blogging and New Media Association (IBNMA).

I will tell the readers of The Blog Herald.

I have raised my voice to the folks at MySpace and Friendster.

I will continue to promote and organize this event all I can, along with my amazing team members.

Your Part in Blog Action Day 2008

Please, please help me. Throw your weight into Blog Action Day.

Let’s pull together.

Let’s change the conversation for one day and change the world - even if only a little - forever.

More to come soon.
