Blog Design/Domain/Hosting Auction for Hurricane Katrina Relief Ends Tonight
Phin at Apothegm Designs has a rather unique fund-raising effort underway for Hurricane Katrina victims, and the fund-raising effort is targeted squarely at the blogging community, with a great payoff for both us, and the American Red Cross.
They are auctioning off a pair of custom blog designs to the two highest bidders through the end of today, Friday, September 2. You've seen examples of their work at the Llama Butchers, The Jawa Report, Naked Villainy and here among many others. Their designs are fast-loading, technically sound, and aesthetically pleasing.
In addition, benevolent dictator Pixy Misa of the mu.nu domain has offered a free .mu.nu domain, free hosting (up to a million visitors a month), and entrance into the Munuvanian blogging family to the top two bidders.
That is an awesome deal, and the funds are going to a great cause.
Thank you very much for your support.
Update: The results are in. Thanks for the generous outpouring of support from the blogging community, and for the time donated by Apothegm Designs.
We do not revel in any disaster anywhere, in fact we are sickened by your countries slow response to your sick and destitute. I am also astounded by the response to looters. They are a minority ignore them and help those that want and need to be helped first.
