Comment for a Cause (c4ac) has raised $186 towards the MS Society. That’s $107 more then last years. I have a handful of posts (in draft format) that I would love to publish right now for Comment for a Cause but they might wait for later date or the next time I decide to do another comment for a cause. Personally I don’t know how some people can blog daily and or more then once a day?

I’m already thinking up which charities to pick for next year.. If you have any ideas please let me know Since next year will be year 3 of Comment for a Cause, I’ve been playing around with some ideas on how to make it bigger and better, like maybe inviting 1 or 2 guest bloggers to help out.

There were some folks, who didn’t understand and or got confused with this whole Comment for a Cause event; Which I was kind of surprised about so now I have to make so a 3 year old can understand the rules so now there will be a mini blurb about c4ac (per post). Because of those folks now, I’m debating on doing Comment for a Cause for 1 entry or update daily for half the month or keep it for the whole month. I got until March of next year to play around with this. Bleh!

Thank you for helping me donate to a great cause. Let’s hope we can find a cure.

The top supporters for this year Comment for a Cause were:

Chris with 27 comments ~ wins the free [for a year] domain from Bluefur.Com
Dez with 25 comments ~ wins the free hosting [for a year] from Sugar-Devil.Com
Caity with 21 comments ~ wins the sock monkey that’s made by a local non profit company.

My question is to you, would you be interesting in doing your own Comment for a Cause or helping out with mine?

Comment for a Cause will be back in full swing in April 2010.

Caity said,

I am so glad that you had such great success with this!

I really liked it being incorporated in your other entries throughout the month. I recommend having either a small blurb at the top during the month or a quick link to the explanation post and a short sentence explaining what it is so that newcomers to your blog understand what is going on.

Yay for the sock monkey! I thought I was a bad commenter but I guess I wasn’t!

I second what Caity says about having a blurb at the top or bottom of each new blog entry that is for your comment for a cause event. If someone comes in the middle of it, they don’t know that their comment is very valuable.

I like hosting folks, I encourage everyone to come by Sugar-Devil.com, as it is sooo awesome!

Maybe next year do it for AIDS, or some other cause, like a charity or a nonprofit organization.

I only commented 27 times? Did I miss a couple of posts? I’m sorry for letting you down on that front, but I am happy that I won the domain name – no I need to think of a name to register. This is going to be mighty hard.

But anywho, I’m thinking that having a little blurb to describe what it is at the top of your main page or in the sidebar would likely be beneficial. And if you ever wanted a guest post, I’m your man (unless you want to guarantee that it’s not about professional sports, because I don’t think I could guarantee it’s not).

I think this is an awesome cause! I’ll think about joining it next year. I actually saw it on your blog a while back but I haven’t been blogging much lately.. nor reading too many blogs. Hopefully I’ll get back to the scene soon!
