Blogathon Success!

Weglogging in the wee hours, part II: I extend wishes of congratulations and pleasant dreams to all of the participants in the third annual Blogathon which, as of this writing, raised over $90,000 for some very deserving charities as personal publishers around the world stayed up and updated their websites for 24 hours. Like any marathon, it was by turns exhausting and exhilarating.

I'm pleased to have sponsored Rannie Turingan's Photojunkie site and his charity AIDS Committee of Toronto. And I'll soon be making a substantial contribution to Modest Needs as well, in recognition of Cat Connor's hard work and dedication in organizing the 'thon.

Pledges after the fact will be accepted for another day or two. I encourage you to stop by the Blogathon website, to check out some of the participants, and to consider sponsoring one or more sites.

Update: Pledge totals have now exceeded $100,000. [7/27/03]
