Jen: Meeshka’s Week of Blogs

Over at Meeshka’s World, Meeshka and her human are going to be doing 20 posts a day for 5 days to raise money for Harnessed To Hope Northern Breed Rescue.

Go here for details.

Jen: Still Working on a Final Total

I know I said I’d have the final total a week ago. Today is the first time I’ve been able to go through email and websites to try and get it. (Life really does interfere with blogging!)

I’m still waiting on 15-20 people (who have an email from me in their inboxes as we speak) but the almost final one is…

$13732 $14877 $15302

It’s not bad considering the number of bloggers we have doing this — the main Blogathon is usually 5-6 times as big — and hey… it’s money that’s going to good causes.

Jen: One Week Later…

For the first time since 2005, I haven’t been all migrainey and sick the Monday after doing Blogathon/Day of Blogs.  This is pretty amazing!

I neglected to mention Blogs Vancouver ‘08 which was going on over at miss604.com.  Sorry Rebecca!  She raised over $2000 herself and I know that other Vancouver-area bloggers also did very well.

I also want to express condolences to the Kapp Pack who lost a member a day or two after Day of Blogs.  Miss Kelsey Ann went to the Great Dog Park in the Sky.  There’s a post here which has memories of her on it and I’d invite people to leave their condolences there.

So… I’m going to go through tomorrow and get a final total.  it’s looking like around $12500 right now which is good — we’re smaller than Blogathon usually is and it’s money that our charities definitely need!  So… thanks to everyone who blogged.

I also have my own thank-you’s to send out:

• Jeff: Thanks for being my co-admin, for monitoring, for cheering me on via AIM and other methods, and for helping me with things when I needed them.
• Lindsey N: Thanks for helping with the FAQ, making some awesome buttons for after the event, for monitoring, and for basically doing anything that needed doing.
• Nikki: Thanks for coming up with awesome topics, for taking on the highlighter job, for being a volunteer go-to person on the forums, and for just jumping in any time I needed something done
• Jessica: Thanks for monitoring, for the beautiful pictures serving as our banners, for the HTML tutorial, for collecting totals for the prelim count, and for being willing to help out whenever I needed something done at the last minute.
• Moira: Thanks for monitoring, for the encouraging emails, for giving me heads-ups when you saw something that needed to be fixed, and for doing a contest for people.
• Li: Thanks for staying up waaaaay too late and monitoring even though you weren’t blogging this year.
• Renee: Thanks for being my personal cheerleader from June onward (you really did help me a lot when I needed someone to tell me that it would all work out), for monitoring, and for cheerleading everyone else as well.
• JL: Thanks for monitoring, for having the Second Life party, and for everything else you did to help me.
• Stephen: Thanks for monitoring and giving me feedback and ideas to help.
• Luna: Even though you didn’t participate in Day of Blogs, thanks for the techie help you gave me and for being there when I had questions or needed ideas.
• Miss Raye: Thanks for the buttons, for your feedback, and for your encouragement.

I’ll post a little more tomorrow.

I Survived Day of Blogs 2008.

Hi all, hope you’re all well rested now! I’m still catching up!

I made a few icons for DOB…please feel free to use them. If you want a more customized one, e-mail me at:

I’m not making any promises on how they’ll turn out, but I’ll try my best!

Enjoy!

Jen: Preliminary Total

This is Jen (who still can’t get Wordpress to recognize her as an author).  I’ve got a preliminary total for funds raised by all of us.  (Thank you Jessica for going around and checking.)

The total (based on reporting off of blogs) is…

$11543

That’s not bad for all of us considering that this is a smaller group this year.

To get the final totals, I need everyone (including those who dropped out) to please send me the total of what they raised.  My email address is khouria.jen-at-gmail-dot-com.

Thank you to all for a great job.  B-shift people: you’re in the home stretch — only 2 hours left!

Real Jeff: B-excellence!

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night guys!

Some of you may just be waking up but we’ve still got some amazing ladies truckin’ away. Let’s give them all some encouragement, they’re doing great!

Hilary for Amnesty International : Powering through prompts

Miss Raye for Wild Horse Rescue : Showing off her excellent writing talents with some fic

Linda for Christian Children’s Fund : Talking about the great outdoors

Twyla for Not for Sale : Teaching us about Zimbabwa

Back On Board

After a bit of a nap and a bite to eat, I am back to cheer on the B Shifters. I am not sure how many of you there are, I saw Twyla , Linda , and Miss Raye .

Way to go everyone!!!

This is Jen: A-Shift People Can Go Get Some Rest

OK… all the A-shift people are probably feeling their way to their pillows now. For the remnant who made it through: congrats!

B-shift: you’re halfway there!!!!!

If any A-shift peeps come back online today, go comment on the following blogs:

http://tyrblogathon.livejournal.com
http://ravensrange.com
http://blackiceburn.livejournal.com
http://darlas-mom.livejournal.com
http://newsong.livejournal.com

They could use encouragement.

Now go get some rest, the whole lot of you!

30 mins for the best entry!!!

Hold on, only 30 mins left to post and no best entries in view… well one in view.

Maybe I’m sounding confused?

Ok, post the link to your best entry/ or best entry that you have read here: http://blogathon.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=890

You must have… surely??

Another B-Blogger!

I’m late with this - scandalously slow. I apologize. I danced the Time Warp and er, warped right of time.

On my last post I forgot a B-Blogger so please, if you have time to come after you’ve had a nap, it would bbe great if you could look in on Linda. She is blogging for Christian Children’s Fund. http://www.christianchildrensfund.org/

And on that note, I’d like to say thank you too to all the people who have kept me going, all my monitees who are still going strong and particulary Aurora Lamour , Renee and Jessica.
