EFF: Blog-a-thon

A very important thing to consider while blog-reading the dailies: The Electronic Frontier Foundation has created the „Blog-a-thon“.

We want to hear about your „click moment“ — the very first step you to took to stand up for your digital rights — whether it was blogging about an issue you care about, participating in a demonstration, writing your representatives, or getting involved with EFF. As a thank you, we’ve enlisted an independent panel of judges to choose from among your posts for „Most Inspirational,“ „Most Humorous,“ and „Best Overall.“ At the end of the Blog-a-thon, we’ll announce the names of the three bloggers with the best posts on our website and in our weekly newsletter, EFFector. We’ll also publish the three best posts on our site and send the authors a blogging „kit“ as an extra thank you: an EFF bloggers‘ rights T-shirt, special EFF-branded blogger pajama pants, a pound of coffee, and a pair of fuzzy slippers.

You can basically post about anything you’d like between July 19th and 26th on your blog. This includes blog posts, podcasts, videos, images or letters as long as you tag it as a Blog-a-thon post by adding this special set of HTML code:

I guess the non-textual media has to be published within a blog to tag the media file with the text code. More of the simple instructions can be found on their event’s site.
