If you’re picking up my feeds in a feed reader, I’d like to invite you to click through because I’ve got myself a pretty flowery pink theme in conjunction with the Breast Cancer Awareness month 
This flowery theme was one of the pretty pink themes I’ve found (there are a lot others) and I’ve spent a lot of time tweaking it. Special thanks go to GeminiGeek for helping me add another column to the original 2-column theme.
So what is this all about?
Pink for October is an annual initiative to get people to learn more about and create and spread awareness on breast cancer. This year, Pink for October will be run by Matthew Oliphant, Tammie Lister, and Zach Inglis.
What can you do to help?
- Spread the word. Announce the event on your blog. You could write a blog post (like this), or a little note about it. Whatever you choose to do, just go ahead and tell your readers about it.
- Go pink. Modify your theme if you know how to, or get yourself a pretty pink theme
If you run a website, turn your website pink. But if you don’t like pink, you could still participating by putting up a badge on your sidebar. - Design badges and banners. Design a couple of “Pink for October” badges or banners for other participants to use (for free) and to publicize the event. Some of the existing badges and banners can be downloaded from the official Pink for October site.
- Design blog themes. There are a lot of bloggers (me included) who can’t even do simple designing, so if you are good at it, perhaps you could design and release a few pink themes?
Apart from switching to a new pink theme, I will also be blogging about breast cancer whenever possible, hopefully twice every week. And in case you’re interested, these are my breast cancer-related posts published last year:
- Welcome to Cancerland
- Breast Cancer: 22 myths you should know
- Breast Cancer Welfare Association
- Mammography and Ultrasound
Please let me know in the comments section if you’re going pink this month so that I could go visit you
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
Awesomely pink theme! I was too lazy to redo the whole theme so I used pink accents instead
Pink! Yay! I am not really a pink girl, but it’s for a good cause
Your pink theme is absolutely beautiful! I love it! :-)
OMG. Not another pink blog. Since it is for a good cause, no problem :-) I don’t think pink looks good on my blog. LOL. Definitely not on me. I may blog about this though.
Me and pink don’t get along but excellent for a good cause
I need to get on the ball about this as well.
This is really a nice theme. I am touched when I see you going to such extent to help spreading the awareness for breast cancer.
nice template
I’m happy to change to pink. I lost the first site I had called Scrungy’s Creator, trying to get a three panel design. It was, of course, the operator malfuncton — or just plan dumbness on my part. On the new blogsite, Scrungy and Friends, it took me awhile to find the color of pale green I liked, but when I read about going pink for October I switched my colors immediately. Now that I’ve learned (still learning) a few things about blog templates not provided by Blogger, I’m getting braver about changing my templates. Because of the time involved in switching things around, I’m staying with what I have for a while. Changing it to pink was not a problem.
I’m really glad to be able to participate in this way for Breast Cancer. I am three years out from chemo after two rounds of cancer, the latter round ending with a bilateral mastectomy. Physically and financially I’m a wreck, but other than that I can go pink and write about my cancer experiences. I am turning 64 on Wednesday… So my birth month color is already pink.
My cat, Gretchen is supporting me, her bean, (cat language for human) on her site. Yes, cats have their own blog sites. She’s spreading the word among her friends about going pink to the Cats Blogosphere.
