Blog City, a blog host based in Scotland with members worldwide, has added a new function to its welcome page at http://www.blog-city.com/bc/ it is a link to donate for Katrina relief.
To ensure the donation goes straight to a well-known American charity where its members would be comfortable sending a donation, Blog City’s link goes to the Salvation Army.
The well-known blogger NZBear, has launched Blog for Relief Day – a day of blogging focused on raising awareness of and funds for relief efforts to aid those affected by Hurricane Katrina. See here for more information. Bloggers from anywhere can join in the effort!
Meanwhile here at home in the US, Strengthen The Good is launching "Matching The Good," where bloggers act as their own matching fund for victims of the disaster.
The program: Bloggers, rather than just making a donation to their charity of choice, challenge their readers to match the level of the donation by Midnight of next Monday (that allows five days for donations). Info here.
Update: The God Blog has a prayer option for the kind of help money can't provide

I am upset over the experience I had in your store today. I came in to cash a payroll check. They refused it because my company did not put their address on the check. It is a very well known store in this country. I am also a customer of Carnival. I have been for years. I am sorry that you had a few bad people cash bad checks with you. But you are taking this out on your regular loyal customers. Where is this fair to us. It is bad enough you charge five dollars to cash a check. Which I was willing to pay. But I went to Krogers and they graciously cashed my check with no charge to me. Which I feel that they are going to get my business from now on. I shopped there before Festival and Carnival came into existance. I will shop where I feel that I am treated with decency not embarassed in front of other customers. This isnt the first time that I have been unsatisfied with the customer service there. But with this incident I feel that I will be better taking my business else where.
