Celebrate World Press Freedom Day

Today is World Press Freedom Day.  This holiday honors the courage and sacrifice of journalists who dig up controversial stories, even though many of them are threatened, harassed, sued, or even killed for speaking out.  You can also visit the event page at Bloggers Unite to read more posts on this topic.

Weekend Meet-n-Greet 5-3-09

by Elizabeth Barrette on May 3, 2009

This activity is designed to cultivate community on a blog by helping the readers get to know each other.

Spread the Comment Cheer!

Here are the instructions for the Weekend Meet’n’Greet:

  • Leave a comment here.  You can tell people a little about yourself and your blog.  How do your interests intersect with Gaiatribe’s  field?
  • Next, visit the person who commented above you and read their latest blog post. 
  • Leave a comment on their site that includes the tagline: Hello, Elizabeth Barrette sent me.

You’re all invited to participate.  You can visit more than one blog if you wish.  If you are the first person to comment, just say hello to me, and I’ll visit you too!  Remember that Gaiatribe  uses CommentLuv, so every comment shows people what you are blogging about.  Finally, if your blog aspires to a thriving community, you might want to try the Weekend Meet’n’Greet meme there.
