I’m an information addict, and blogs help feed my habit daily. I read about photography, web design, baseball, nature, video games, science, travel, and of course entomology, and each blog opens my eyes and educates me in a different way. But what if each blog took one day to discuss the same subject, from their unique point of view? That’s the idea behind Blog Action Day, an annual event geared at creating a unified conversation across the international blogosphere about a topic important to everyone. This year’s conversation begins Friday, October 15th, and will focus on water, something every living thing on Earth requires, yet which is largely taken for granted in the Western world. To date, 1,600+ blogs in 100 countries and with a combined readership of nearly 13,000,000 people have committed to dive into the discussion, and I’m sure those numbers will continue to grow this week.

I haven’t solidified what I’ll bring to the table yet, but I will do my part to get the world talking about water in my own, insect-centric way. I hope you’ll join me next Friday, and I encourage you to join in the discussion, either through your comments or through your own blog.
Thanks for the heads up, Morgan. I’ll make sure I write on water for Oct 15, do a bit more in conserving water and feed something in the heads of people who come across the blog.
Thanks for the heads up. I think I might participate.
i’m all for it.that’s a great idea!
i’ll write on it of course.
i write in arabic in my blog so it will be great way to spread the idea..
different cultures,languages and different countries;but one idea!
instead of one person talking about one idea..it’ll be thousands of peaple talking about it.
the idea will be million times strong!
Glad to hear you’re all on board! I think it’s a pretty cool idea, and I’m certainly looking forward to seeing everyone’s take on the subject!
