Several of the blogs I read are donating to worthy causes for a specified length of time, in proportion to the relevant comments left in response to their postings. Think about it. In two minutes you can make my day, and you can help someone in a third world country eat eggs, or drink milk.
From now until May 1st, I will donate fifty cents/comment to Heifer International which provides seeds, livestock, and training to third world people, helping hungry families feed themselves. (That's straight from the website as you can probably tell.)
I'd love to be able to send them the money for a goat, but if it's just a packet of seeds, it's your fault. No pressure there, honey.
The other thing that caused this brainstorm was hearing from a couple of people via e-mail who lurk but never comment because they don't have a URL. Comment anonymously if you wish, or use the "Name" option---which works just fine. I used it for ages before I ever blogged.
OK, I'm done being a control freak wannabe, for now, at least. I'll put up a counter soon. Let's do this thing!!
