What’s it all about

Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.

What is the aim of Blog Action Day?

The purpose of Blog Action Day is to raise awareness on global poverty…

…the blogging community effectively changes the conversation on the web and focuses audiences around the globe on that issue.

Can I participate?

YES! Whether you have a small online journal or part of a national newspaper you should join!

What can I write about?

I guess it depends on your blog. Here are some examples:

A Design Blog might analyse a set of charity posters and how they convey their message.
A Tech Blog might look at pro-poor technologies and projects.
A Political Blog might examine the relevant agendas of leading candidates.
A Sports Blog might look at recent charity activities of a major sports franchise.

When is it? It’s October 15th!
