You know how sometimes tech seems to be working against you? That’s my story for the last two days. First, Wordpress was conspiring against me and wouldn’t let me access the blog so that I could update it. Then, the service that manages my RSS feed did some sort of site update of its own, and now my RSS feed is all messed up. So that finally tally of subscribers I was supposed to have for the Help Haiti Blog Challenge? Couldn’t do it last night. Still couldn’t do it today.
What I do know is this: There were about 60 new blog and RSS subscriptions between the time I kicked off the Help Haiti Blog Challenge two weeks ago and this past Friday. (Yay! Thank you all!) That amounts to a $15 donation, but I’m going to bump it up to $25, partly because I feel like it and partly because with my technical difficulties, I don’t know the exact number of new subscribers. If it ends up being substantially more than I’d thought, I’ll make an additional donation. I had originally said I was going to donate to the Red Cross, but I’ve read multiple articles suggesting that donors contribute instead to Doctors Without Borders since they have a lower overhead (and a small percentage of the donations goes toward that) than the Red Cross. So I’m donating to Doctors Without Borders’ efforts in Haiti, thanks, in part, to all of you. Hurray!
In any case, a new sweet find is coming shortly. (Technology willing, of course.)
