Welcome to Pink for October
Go Pink in Support of Breast Cancer AwarenessWeb sites will Go Pink during the month of October to bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, get people talking about breast cancer, and raise money for research. But to be clear, raising money isn’t the primary purpose of this web event.
The hope is that you turn your site pink (in whatever way works for your site), go out to that World Wide Web thing (in fact you’re on it right now! :) ) and educate yourself about the multiple issues related to Breast Cancer, then take that newfound knowledge and tell someone else what you’ve learned.

Find Out More NowWe’ve had some issues with the sign up process so we are on to Plan B. Check out the list of sites and sign up there as well. With this new way of doing things, everyone is automatically approved. I’ll just be going through the list now and again to remove spam and people who don’t seem to truly be with the spirit of the event.
If you signed up before October 3, 2007, your entry should still be there. Have a look and if not let me know in the comments on this post. Write the info that needs to be changed and I will edit it for you.
If you signed up on October 3, 2007 (today) before the we moved to Plan B, take a look for your site in the list (it will be toward the end). If it isn’t there, give me a until tomorrow. Some sites came in while I was doing the data transfer from here to the new list. I will manually add those today. If you don’t see it by tomorrow, please resubmit. I hope to capture 99% of the submissions so far, which means I might miss one or two.
Let me know in the comments if you have any problems with the new sign up process. I still don’t know what the issues were with the previous application. The code seemed fine and Media Temple was working with me on a daily basis to track down issues.
My thanks to Zach for all the hard work and to Destiny at MT. Lastly, thanks to Kevin Hale of wufoo.com for helping me out so much.
Tomorrow or Friday I hope to get back to my planned schedule of posting about the issues and no longer have to worry about the sign ups. Thank you everyone for you patience. I am sorry if some of you had a bad experience signing up.
