I will soon be on a short 24 hour-ish hiatus

Yes, I know I’ve posted about this a few times already and some of you may be getting sick of hearing about it, but I promise this is the last time I will be posting about this subject :)

If you’re a regular reader here, you know that this coming weekend I’ll be blogging with Tish over on BlogsWeLuv for this year’s Blogathon event in support of The Glaucoma Foundation. The event starts at 9AM eastern standard time on Saturday morning and continues until 9AM Sunday morning. During that time my efforts will of course be focused on the Blogathon so I won’t be posting here. You’re welcome to stop by and say hello to Tish and I however. We’ve got our Red Bull locked and loaded to keep us awake, but we’ll take any extra help we can get :) Chances are when the event is over on Sunday I’ll head straight to bed, so in all likelihood it will be a smidge longer than 24 hours that I’ll be away from this blog. If you’d like to help Tish and I make the day successful here’s a few ways in which you can.

  • Make a pledge to our charity, the Glaucoma Foundation. Every little bit helps! For each $5 you pledge you’ll be entered into our contest to win a $25 gift card from Amazon.com
  • Blog about our cause! - Our wonderful friend Polli has donated twelve of her cute little pewter polliwog’s to award to folks that would like to help us spread the word about our efforts.
  • Ten Questions with YOU - We’ve put together ten questions you can answer and submit to be included on the BlogsWeLuv site. While Tish and I won’t be able to post all of the answers we’ve received, we will post as many as we can. Of course any that aren’t posted during the Blogathon will still be added to the site afterwards. ALL bloggers are welcome to participate. If you love backlinks (and who doesn’t?) this is any easy way to receive one.

If you’d like you can also read more about the Blogathon on their website.

    Great post, Mike! I can’t wait to hang out with you for 24 hours! hehe. Guess we will find out just how strong this relationship is when we put it to the blogathon test! ;)

    I think I’ll turn on my webcam. If you see me snoozing, wake me up!

    Yippeeee! It’s almost time!

    P.S. Mike, you made me cry when I saw your comment about offering to help with my banner. I didn’t want to hassle you right now with all you have going so I just enlarged it myself. It took away the sharpness of course but I think it sitll looks decent. But if someday you ever wanted to create me a Mike original banner graphic I would probably pass out from happiness. :-)

    I’m in a great mood indeed! And just wait till I start drinking those Red Bulls!

    Like I mentioned the other night, I drank two of them one night and couldn’t sleep for three days! So if you drink that four pack, you’ll be able to blog nonstop for a week!


  8. Mike Says:

    @Bush: Thanks, Buddy! I hope you’ll stop by every now and then :)

    @Polli: I saw your new design! I think it looks great and ya did a nice job with resizing the banner. As long as you don’t have to resize images TOO much it usually doesn’t turn out too bad :)

    @Tish: I’ll probably be drinking a lot of tea as usual as well, so the combination of having to pee constantly along with the effects of Red Bull should keep me awake just fine :P

  10. Mike Says:

    Thanks, buddy! Every little post helps :)

    It’s good to have blogging friends all over the world in different time zones. It’s handy when you need help staying awake for 24 hours…hehe.

  16. Mike Says:

    @Mandy: Oh I plan to get plenty, even if I have to force myself ;P
