Blogger Relief
I emailed a contingent of Hockey Bloggers and general web logger’s this afternoon in an attempt to show a united front and encourage readership to donate to the Red Cross… Now I’m asking the general blog community to lend a hand.
I created an image (as you can see at the top of the right hand menu) encouraging people to donate to the Red Cross. I’d like for this image to spread around the Blogosphere to show we’re out there and we care…
The code to post that image and the link is as follows:
< a href="http://www.redcross.org" target="_blank">< img src="http://photos.stonegauge.com/albums/userpics/10001/NODonate.jpg"/>< /a>
Copy and paste this code onto your page somewhere and simply remove the spaces before the a href, the img tag and the ending < /a> and it should work.
Thanks to Eric, Lyle, Tom and Mike for their initial support on this…
EDIT: There are a lot of bloggers out there that have picked up on this…. It’d be nice to have a comprehensive list so I am asking for people to comment on this thread or send a trackback/pingback to the thread….

It’s the least we web-heads can do to help out. Don’t be shy, folks! If you’ve got a blog, post up the relief button, and give! If you’re a reader of these blogs, click the relief button and give!
The people of New Orleans, as well as the other regions hit hard by Hurricane Katrina,need our help. Let’s get it done!

Was there much damage from Katrina in the Florida panhandle area?
September 2nd, 2005 at 1:15 pm
There was some, PJ, but nothing that compared to the damage west of the panhandle.
Yet the Panhandle is still trying to recover from 2 direct-hits from hurricanes in a year timespan… Ivan last year and Dennis this year…. So everyoen there was already weary of what could happen…

[...] Most of you know I’ve been taken aback and just shell shocked with things on the Gulf Coast. My posting has taken a dive though I’ve been active trying to promote donations to NOLA relief and a few posts here and there with regards to the Lightning… Nothing of substance really… Just news briefs and filler.
