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.

More Badges and An Opportunity to Share

I just uploaded two more badges to the downloads page. Thanks Tammie! If you would like to contribute, just send me what you have, or point me to where you have it on your site.

I also added a new page called Share Your Story, which you can get to by clicking “share” in the nav above. This is somewhat experimental for me, but I think it should be interesting as well as be a way to grow even more a sense of community around this event.

You can register to write a post to this site or you can use Odeo to record audio stories. There will be a specific category for community stories, so everything can be well orgainsed. If you are interested in hearing what people have to say you can listen via iTunes or pull the RSS feed.

Like I said, this is an experiment. If you have any feedback, let me know in the comments below or send me an email.

Be Sociable, Share!

I think this is one of the coolest ideas yet, getting people rallied up to promote something so serious. I will definately be participating in it. I’ve posted a button and short write up, added it to del.icio.us, and made a link to here. I’m also going to tell my wife and family, see if they’ll participate also. This is a great effort by many, and the way the internet should be. Thanks for this great opportunity.

Do you have any guidelines for submitting a story (length, etc.)?

Nope. I will only edit for obvious spelling errors and broken links. And the spam thing. :)

Other than that it is your space to play with. I’d recommend making a back up copy of anything you write, just in case though. In fact, everyone should back up their work right now. :)
