Quick update: In order to help all of us track pledges I have added a form to my Blogathon page. I know that some of the other bloggers have solved this issue but for those of us who are not tracking the donations live (only getting totals at the end) we hope that those who [...]

Due to unforeseen circumstances my Blogathon Vancouver campaign will now be taking on a later shift instead of my original 5:00am to 5:00pm on Saturday. My “1 post every 30 minutes for 24 hours” will begin upon my return so I’ll pick up the Blogathon on the fly and go until Sunday.
My cause of choice [...]

There are only seven days left until a group of brave bloggers from around Vancouver (and Canada) join me in the inaugural Blogathon Vancouver July 26th.
Based on the Blogathon of the past, which is not in operation this year, bloggers are encouraged to sign up, pick a non-profit of choice, collect pledges (which can be [...]

Yes, that’s me on the cover of the 24 Hours, “right above the shirtless man with a hose,” as my husband stated.

Even though Blogathon 2008 will not officially be happening, the good folks at Day of Blogs have picked up the reigns and I have decided to spearhead the Vancouver effort. If you are [...]

It’s official, there will be a Blogathon in Vancouver this year (and by official, I mean that I created a wiki page with useful information and a sign up sheet).

Based on the Blogathon of the past, which is not in operation this year, bloggers are encouraged to sign up, pick a non-profit of choice, [...]

Last year I participated in Blogathon, which is an organized event for a charity of the author’s choice which involves said blog author to post every 30 minutes for 24 hours.

48 blog posts in 24 hours is quite the feat but with the encouragement of the entire Blogathon community, your readers, friends who [...]

Everyone who has pledged for the Blogathon please be advised that the Surrey Food Bank online donation page is currently down. They have sent me an email to explain and to advise you to call in your donation (local: 604-581-5443 or they said if you are calling from out of town, call collect).
Disaster [...]

As an added incentive for pledging my Blogathon efforts for the Surrey Food Bank from Saturday to Sunday, I decided to give away some tickets to the Vancouver Canadians game on August 4th (Mexico Night!) Watch the YouTube video below to see whose name was picked from the hat. Thanks again everyone!

*Also, you can still [...]

My readers are amazing, seriously you guys are awesome. Over the last 24 hours I have:
… had guest posts by J.J., Keira, Alanah, Isabella, Duane and John
… received 59 comments on 49 blog posts (archived under ‘Blogathon‘)
… blogged about hockey, gum and bunnies.
… been linked from dozens of sites in support of the cause
… accumulated [...]

This is it - one more to go after this! Just reading the “morning” news headlines and since I pretty much covered the fireworks and some of the post-firework hoopla in the podcast, here’s the ‘official’ word.
It was also another busy night for Vancouver Police. Constable Howard Chow says there were over 430 liquor incidents [...]
