<p>On October 15th, Micronicon will be participating in <a href="http://blogactionday.org/">Blog Action Day</a>, a day when websites around the globe will be discussing a topic of importance. In 2007, that topic was &#8220;The Environment&#8221;, and this year the topic will be &#8220;Poverty&#8221;.</p>
<h2>What is the Goal of Blog Action Day?</h2>
<p>By focussing on important global issues such as poverty, bloggers hope to trigger a dialogue with their readership. We expect that solutions to the problem will arise out of this discussion. Some of the community will take that next step to donate to the cause, set up a non-profit, or continue the discussion year-round by starting their own blogs on the subject. Find out <a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/about/">what it&#8217;s all about</a> on the official website.</p>
<p><span id="more-163"></span></p>
<h2>How Can I Help?</h2>
<p>There are a variety of ways you can participate:</p>
<h3>Register Your Blog</h3>
<p>Micronicon is getting involved. So can you! If you have a blog, <a href="http://blogactionday.org/en/blogs/new">register</a> as a participant. It doesn&#8217;t matter how much traffic you get, your message will reach someone. Get ideas, banners and badges from the official Blog Action Day <a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/resources/">Resource Section.</a></p>
<h3>Promote the Day</h3>
<p>Whether you have your own website or not, you can help the cause by <a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/involved/promote-the-day/">promoting</a> Blog Action Day. Tell your friends!</p>
<h3>Get Active Today!</h3>
<p>The war on poverty doesn&#8217;t begin and end on October 15th. You can start by donating to <a href="http://www.change.org/nonprofits/projects/index/171480">The Global Fund,</a> (the official charity of Blog Action Day) or micro-loaning to <a href="http://www.kiva.org/">Kiva.org</a>. The Blog Action Day website has some terrific ideas that answer the question, <a href="http://site.blogactionday.org/resources/what-can-1-person-do/">What can one person do?</a></p>
<p>Be here on Micronicon, October 15th, for some interesting discussion about the issue of poverty, and more importantly, get out there and be a part of the solution.</p>
