As we hurtle toward the Blogathon on Saturday, let me highlight again two of the other bloggers I know who are participating, in hopes that you’ll perhaps give them some support as well.<\/p>\n

Steve <\/strong>at Chirographum<\/a> has gone so far as to set up his own site for his Blogathon effort<\/a>.\u00a0 He’s blogging in support of the Montreal Children’s Hospital Autism Clinic<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 He’ll be writing mostly about comics (yay!) and games over the course of the day, both of which he does not-infrequently (and always well) on his own blog.\u00a0 Steve’s an old pro at the Blogathon game, raffles off prizes to top donors, and has already raised $770 in pledges for his fine cause.\u00a0 I’ll definitely be swinging by over there during the ‘Thon to see how it’s going.\u00a0 (Sponsor Steve!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Les<\/strong> at Stupid Evil Bastard<\/a> has done the ‘Thon before.\u00a0 This year he’s blogging on behalf of the Human Society of the Huron Valley<\/a><\/strong> (which puts him in the “help the animals” camp with me).\u00a0 Not sure what his blogging theme will be, but his site is always entertaining and\/or thought-provoking, and certainly warrants more than the $80 he’s received so far (though every little bit helps).\u00a0 Again, I’ll definitely be keeping track of him on Saturday (and into Sunday).\u00a0 (Sponsor Les!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

There are 184 bloggers enrolled in the Blogathon<\/a>, with tomorrow as the final day to sign up.\u00a0 Together, almost $15,000 has been pledged.\u00a0 There are some great causes out there.\u00a0 If you haven’t pledged, give it a look-see.\u00a0 Even $5 is welcome for any of the bloggers and charities involved.\u00a0 While we stay up late<\/em>, you can make a difference<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
