What is Blog Action Day?

What Can I write about?
The best thing a blog can do is to keep their post on topic. Audiences visit our blogs because they enjoy the style, personality and topic of the site. So it makes sense that the best way to get through to these audiences is to use that same style, personality and topic to talk about Poverty. For example:
- A Design Blog might analyse a set of charity posters and how they convey their message.
- A Tech Blog might look at pro-poor technologies and projects.
- A Political Blog might examine the relevant agendas of leading candidates.
- A Sports Blog might look at recent charity activities of a major sports franchise.

What Can One Person Do?
Poverty is not only a pressing issue, it is a complex one. It's easy to think that there isn’t much an individual can do. Fortunately this isn’t the case at all. With activities ranging from advocacy and professional contribution to charity and financing, there is in fact many ways that we can act.
You can find a range of resources about poverty, about what the average person can do as well as dozens of post suggestions and ideas in the Resources section of the Blog Action Day Website.
