Join Blog Action Day 2011!

Blog Action Day 2011 Topic: FOOD

October 16th is Blog Action Day, and this year's topic is FOOD -- a topic that could hardly be more appropriate, since Blog Action Day coincides with World Food Day, which is also October 16th.


Join Us!

As of October 11th, nearly 1500 bloggers from 80 countries were registered to take part in Blog Action Day this year. If you're a blogger, why not join us by getting involved this year! Participating is easy: Simply register your blog at the Blog Action Day website and then publish a post about FOOD on October 16th. Your post can focus on any aspect of the topic. For a few ideas and a list of suggested topics, visit the Why Food? page of the Blog Action Day site.


Suggested Food-Related Topics

You might want to draw attention to world hunger -- a very critical topic in today's world -- or focus on hunger in a specific area, either at home or abroad. Perhaps you'd prefer to focus on healthful food choices, getting back to basics, and moving away from the highly processed products the food industry is foisting upon us to line its pockets, while increasingly eroding our health. There are tons of related topics and just as many angles from which you can approach them. You may even decide to cover more than one food-related topic. Whatever you decide to write about, please do participate and help draw attention to a subject that is crucial to every person on earth.


Collect Your Links

If I might take it a step further, I'd like to recommend that you gather any links you may have to food-related organizations that are helping to make a difference -- or even food-related resources that can help others improve their own food choices -- and add these to your post. In that way, you'll be helping those dedicated organizations make a difference, while also encouraging people to improve their own and their families' health and well-being through wiser and more intentional food-related practices.


For Further Information

For more information about Blog Action Day, read the About page of the Blog Action Day website, where you'll learn what Blog Action Day is, the goal it is intended to accomplish, and a bit about its history.

Hope you'll join us on Blog Action Day 2011 to share your perspective about FOOD and help make a difference! After all, isn't making a difference what blogging is all about?

Let's join together to do our part!

P.S. My apologies for posting so late about this. Hopefully my tardiness won't prevent you from participating!


Are you planning to participate in Blog Action Day this Sunday, October 16th? Hopefully the ranks of participating bloggers will swell between now and the "big day." Last year, 5,600 bloggers from 143 countries participated, reaching 40 million readers with information about another crucial topic -- WATER. Let's help make this year's event just as successful! Let's get people thinking -- and talking -- about FOOD!

Are You a Business Writer?

If you have a marketing or other business background and enjoy writing about related topics, you might feel right at home participating in this year's Age of Conversation 2008, a second collaborative book project that will bring together writers/bloggers from all over the internet--and all over the world. Even if you simply enjoy reading about business, you'll want to know more about this book!


What Is The Age of Conversation?

To learn more about the collaboration--which is the brainchild of Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton and should be even bigger and better than last year's highly popular version--visit Drew McLellan's blog, Drew's Marketing Minute, and check out his Calling All Authors--Time to Exceed Age of Conversation post! But hurry, because the deadline (which has already been extended once), is February 3rd! (My apologies for posting about the project so late! I only just came on board myself the other day and then was without internet all day today due to computer parts issues. Finally managed to use a part intended for a slightly different use to restore my internet access, though; and now I'm back up and running.)


Become a Project Author or Simply Help Choose the Topic

Even if you aren't able to participate as a writer this year, stop by Drew's blog if you're at all interested in voting on which of three possible topics will become the theme for this year's book. (Again, remember that the deadline is February 3rd.)

Topic choices are the following:

- Marketing Manifesto
- Why Don't People Get It?
- My Marketing Tragedy (and what I learned)


A Worthy Project to Benefit a Worthy Cause

All proceeds from the sale of The Age of Conversation 2008 will be donated to Variety, the children's charity, as they were last year.

This project promises to be an exciting compilation of great writing and one you won't want to miss! So hurry on over to Drew's blog and find out how you can participate. And if you are reading this post after February 3rd, check Drew's blog anyway for periodic updates on the project, because you'll no doubt want your own copy once Age of Conversation 2008 goes to print!

Do check it out!
Jeanne
