Blogathon! 379 blogs, $56,678.94 so far, and a Special Offer for my tens of readers.

Last push! Blogathon is this Saturday; if you haven't signed up to blog it's too late for this year, but you can still sponsor a blogger from now until at least 48 hours after the event.

If you sort by funds pledged and scroll down, you'll find (as I write this) 80-some bloggers who don't yet have sponsors. If you've got a few bucks that ain't working right now, how about helping one of them out?

Tell you what: if you do that, come back here and give me the name of another blogger with no sponsors, and I'll sponsor them. Probably only five bucks, because I'm skint -- but the little donations add up, that's how grassroots works. That's the beauty of the Blogathon, too -- a few hundred bloggers you never heard of raising a dollar here and a dollar there, and pretty soon you have a bona fide international community premised on giving a helping hand wherever it's needed.

Try it, you'll like it.

Nikki, go right ahead and quote me wherever you like. (I also emailed you, but blogathon is a busy time so perhaps you'll look back here first.)
