Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Or do they? Here’s a little heads-up on two upcoming blog event days that are worth participating in.
August 31 is BlogDay. With the birth of BlogDay four years ago, the brains behind the program wanted to spur bloggers to get to know one another ; become better acquainted with bloggers from other countries, and other areas of interest. So on August 31, bloggers are encouraged to post recommendations of 5 new blogs, so readers can find new places to read.
The Bird is doing her bit too: I’d like to hear your top 5 new, undiscovered blogs. Post your picks in the comments.
And Blog Action Day, October 15, 2008
Blog Action Day focuses on a specific global issue and asks bloggers the world over to focus on that for one day. Last year 20,000 bloggers wrote with a laser focus about the environment . This year the conversation is focused on poverty.
Its’s easy to get involved in these two projects. Simply click on the graphics above, sign up and follow the directions ! Join Me, and over 20,000 other bloggers around the world! Step outside your comfort zone and join me, please? Tell me about your participation in these two events by giving me your thoughts in the comments section below!

Am I going blind? That first button looks like “310g Day.”
Thanks for the heads up, I need to think about which “new” blogs I’ll spotlight.
And poverty. Excellent topic. Although I think it may be hard for me to read a lot of those posts that day.

@threeundertwo: yeah, the graphic is a little misleading/hard to read kind of thing. But a great idea and yep, I’m in!

I was already planning to do the Oct 15 blog action day - but now you’ve given me another one to work on for this weekend - thanks! I’m glad I found your blog today.
