Did you happen to notice the cool change around here? I won a contest that FireMom ran on her blog Stop, Drop and Blog. FM was up late last night redesigning my blog as well as her own.
We are PINK for October!
I have not been personally touched by breast cancer, in that no one in my family or immediate circle of IRL friends has ever been diagnosed. But breast cancer doesn't just effect family or immediate friends. It has a ripple effect, working it's way out from the woman with the diagnosis and touching everyone around her. I do have several on-line friends who are at the center of the ripple. So it is for them and every other person touched by this disease that I have gone PINK for October.
We are PINK for October!
Web sites will Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research. But to be clear, raising money isn’t the primary purpose of this web event. The hope is that you turn your site pink (in whatever way works for your site), educate yourself about the multiple issues related to Breast Cancer, then take that knowledge and tell someone else what you’ve learned.

Share your story, either here in the comments or link back to your own site. How has the ripple of breast cancer affected you?

I did notice the redesign and it looks FANTABULOUS!!! Are you going to keep it, or just the layout and change the color scheme after Oct is over?
Pssssst.... tag, you're it! http://nobody-but-yourself.blogspot.com/2008/10/tagged-meme-time-lucky-seven.html
Since you've already gone pink, perhaps you'd also like to also take part in our month-long contest?
There is also a "Share Your Story" segment where you can share a true story, or encourage your friend/family/neighbour/colleague to share theirs.
Head on to Pink for October website for more details! :D
