I'm glad to see some folks getting ready to do fundraising on their own.

This is wonderful, go for it!

I only ask one thing: please be extra, extra sure to make your event distinct from the Blogathon, or I'll get bombed with email about the other events. Calling it something different, like LJ-A-Thon, would be fantastic.

I don't think there will be a problem with Meryl's event (stay tuned, she's planning one), because it's likely to be one site, and I know she'll make things clear. But the more sites get involved, the more likely it is to confuse people who are used to working with the official event.

You guys are great. Thanks for carrying on. See you in 2005.

Taking a Break

Over the past three years, the Blogathon has grown tremendously. This growth requires a robust combination of software and humans to make it work. It has to be a well-oiled machine. We're working on that, but we need a little more time.

That's why the Blogathon will be taking 2004 off. Mind you, the folks behind the scenes will not be taking a year off--we'll be building, testing, perfecting. And we'll be back, better than ever, in 2005.

We hope to see you all then.
