Blog Action Day

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. Their aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.

Last year the topic was the environment. In 2008, the theme is Poverty. You are free to interpret this as you see fit. Examine poverty from your own perspectives, look at it from the macro and micro, as a global condition and a local issue, and to bring your own idea, view and opinion on the subject.

Because Poverty as a subject for blogging can feel a little daunting, the organizers have prepared a series of resources to help bloggers get started with tackling this issue.
