Late last night (my time), the 2,996th blogger signed up with the 2,996 project — meaning that every single one of the 2,996 victims of 9/11 will have a tribute created for them. All of these tributes will be unveiled on 9/11/2006, the fifth anniversary of 9/11.
But we’re not stopping there. Now the 2,996 project is signing up a second blogger to honor as many victims of 9/11 as we can with second tribute!
If you know any bloggers who have not already signed up, please direct them to the 2,996 project site, and tell them to sign up immediately!

ReplyDeleteGreat news! What plans do you have to remind the bloggers to post their tribute? It will be extraordinary when all 2,996+ post.

ReplyDeleteThat’s a good question, and I don’t have a clue what the answer is. I’ll ask Dale (the guy who started the project) and see what he says about it…

ReplyDeleteAnd Dale says: Although I need to figure out exactly how to do this, technically speaking, I’m going to send a reminder email early next week, and then again on Saturday 9/9. I have a mass email plugin as part of wordpress, but when I tested it with 1500 names I never got an email or any responses, so I’m sure nothing was sent.

ReplyDeleteHmmm…that might work. Perhaps a more effective way to do it would be to create a way for the bloggers to confirm? Maybe a link via email to follow? You could even display confirmed/not confirmed on the master list.

ReplyDeleteI’ve been trying to figure out who to contact about this. I started a blog only to do this 9/11 thing. I haven’t been able to log in since I started. I have asked for help from the provider and have yet to figure out what is wrong. I’ve been quite frustrated with this. I’ve even had friends logging in for me to see what I am doing wrong.I’m now at the point that I am not sure I will be able to do this and wanted to make sure you could get someone else. I don’t want for anyone to be missed. Do you have others who would be willing to take over my person? The man I was supposed to be talking about was Marcus R. Neblett.

ReplyDeleteDale says: I’m sorry for the problems you are having with blogger, though I can’t say I’m surprised. If you’d prefer for me to find someone else to do the tribute I can probably find someone. However, if you would still like to participate I can create a guest account for you on the 2,996 blog. I have several people without blogs or with private blogs who have chosen to post their tributes this way.If this is something you’d like to do just contact me at dcroe05@yahoo.com and I can set it up in a few minutes.
