Think pink

Posted by pelf in Health Issues

I'm going pinkIn less than a week, websites will GO PINK to bring attention to the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. People will start talking about breast cancer and raise money for research.

The hope is that you turn your site pink (in whatever way works for your site), educate yourself about the multiple issues related to Breast Cancer, then take that knowledge and tell someone else what you’ve learned.

If you’re game, go ahead and sign up to go pink in October. You don’t have to redo your entire theme, though you may do it if you want to :D You could just change your banner image, or the colours of your fonts, or links. Really, whatever rocks your boat :D

You may also want to check out the list of websites/blogs that have signed up to go pink in October in 2008. Go visit their websites/blogs and learn a little more about breast cancer.

As with previous years, there are some really pretty Go Pink badges and buttons that you can download and place on your website/blog. You could also design and contribute some badges and buttons if you wish :D

To keep yourself updated, do subscribe to Pink for October. Please remember to check it out because I will also be writing for Pink for October (check out my first introductory post) :D

    Thanks for stopping by my site! I like your pink look - I haven’t quite decided what my design will look like yet.

    Seems like a good idea but I am scared to do so lest my regular readers do not like it.

    Excellent idea! I will have to see what can be done with my blog on blogger. Breast Cancer is a very important subject and everyone should be concerned with it :)

    Pelf: Most of that blog is already a pink color, as I picked it when I started the blog as I like the way it looks :)
    I will be adding a button when October rolls around. And, I already signed up so I am prepared for this big event :)

    Thanks for the reminder! I’ve been so fixated on my finishing my work and writing my thesis, October rolls around much too quickly!

    I’ve signed up, gone pink and posted about it. Hope I have a chance to get involved in the P4O website too :)
