EnglishIf you have a blog, podcast or videocast, you can commit your blog or website to participate in Blog Action Day.
From August 15th to October 15th bloggers are asked to register to participate so we can track how many blogs will be involved, as well as their approximate audience size.
On October 15th participating blogs will put up a post, video or podcast about poverty. You may also wish to donate the day’s ad revenue to a poverty-related charity.
We ask bloggers to try to keep their posting related to their regular blog topic so that posts are individual, suited to their audience and look at the issue in many different lights.
You can register your blog by completing our Registration Form - which just asks for a few basic details. Once registered you’ll be able to return to update your listing, and you’ll be given a one line code to add to the bottom of your Blog Action Day post on October 15th. This line of code will help us track what’s going on in the blogosphere that day.
The best thing a blog can do is to keep their post on topic. Audiences visit our blogs because they enjoy the style, personality and topic of the site. So it makes sense that the best way to get through to these audiences is to use the style, personality and topic to talk about Poverty. Look for angles that relate to poverty but stay on topic. You can find lots of ideas on our Post Ideas page.
