oin Bloggers Unite For Human Rights On May 15!

Join Bloggers Unite For Human Rights On May 15!

Thanks to you, May marks the first anniversary of Bloggers Unite and this time we're launching an awareness campaign chosen by BlogCatalog members. On May 15, let's unite for human rights and make a statement that all people are born with basic rights and freedoms - life, liberty, and justice!

On May 15th 2008, let's come together and all blog about Human Rights. There are dozens and dozens of human rights issues that you can write about. The one you choose is up to you.

Topics to Consider

  • The wrongful imprisonment of journalists covering assemblies.
  • Governments that ignore the plight of citizens left tot he mercy of gangs.
  • The censorship of the Internet in order to prevent freedom of expression.
  • Harsh punishments that include torture, forced labor, and starvation.
  • Sexual assault against women by members of military or militia.

Learn More About Human Rights

There are many organizations that promote human rights and work to protect people. We've picked three to help you learn more and find breaking topics.

  • Amnesty International (http://www.amnesty.org/) is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all. They work to improve human rights through campaigning and international solidarity.
  • Human Right Watch (http://www.hrw.org/) is dedicated to protecting human rights of people around the world. They stand with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, uphold political freedom, protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and to bring offenders to justice.
  • Youth For Human Rights (http://www.youthforhumanrights.org) is an independent non-profit that educates people about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights so they become valuable advocates for tolerance and peace.

We have an entire group discussion dedicated to Bloggers Unite (http://www.blogcatalog.com/group/bloggers-unite) where you can add more organizations that you think are worth including.

How To Join Bloggers Unite!

To join, simply visit the Bloggers Unite page (http://unite.blogcatalog.com/) to get more information. Then, on Thursday, May 15th, write a blog post that shares awareness about human rights.

Your blog post could:

  • include an example of human rights so people can learn about it.
  • Explain the importance of human rights and how it applies to everyone.
  • Link to one of the sites we've listed or the most suitable site for your country.
  • And add a link to our BlogCatalog Community Human Rights Awareness Campaign page so we can give you and your blog credit for being part of it.

It appears that every business you encounter has a tip jar. Here is a guide to assist you in knowing when and how much to tip. The word “tip” is an acronym for “To Insure Promptness.” Remember, the amount of the tip is always based upon the level of customer

I Love You...


I Love You...

I love you.
You are my best friend.
Today I give myself to you in marriage.
I promise to encourage and inspire you,
to laugh with you, and to comfort you
in times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to love you in good times and in bad,
when life seems easy and when it seems hard,
when our love is simple, and when it is an effort.
I promise to cherish you,
and to always hold you in highest regard.
These things I give to you today,
and all the days of our life.

Make money Online: How to set up a FREE Cafe Press Shop

A free Cafe Press shop is one of the easiest ways to build an extra income online. With
a few images and half an hour, you can be making money by the time you go to bed tonight.

You may want to print out this series of articles, to follow as you set up your first Cafe Press shop.

Open a free Cafe Press account

The first thing to do is to set up a free account at Cafe Press. There are no set-up fees,
no printing expenses… You need nothing more than an image to use on your designs. If you are an artist or a photographer, you already have images to use. Just upload them to your personal image basket at Cafe Press, and you’re all set!

After choosing a username and password, you’ll be ready to open your own Cafe Press shop, for free.Next, select a shop name

Choose a name that’s easy to remember. Use your own name if you like! Later, you can upgrade from a free shop to a Premium shop with the same shop name. We’ll talk about Premium shops in another article. When you’re starting out, I recommend creating a free shop while you see how Cafe Press works.

You can have as many free shops as you likeYou can have more than one free shop, with just one Cafe Press account (username/password).

So, if you want a shop that features photos of your dog or cat, you can have one with just
those images. You can open a second shop that features photos or drawings of your goldfish.
And so on.

The only restriction on a free shop is this: Your shop can feature different designs on different tee-shirts, but you can’t select just one product design–say, a Jr. Hoodie–and offer it with a variety of different designs in one shop.

In my Premium shop, I can select one product–like a bumpersticker–and offer it with
several different designs.

Choose your first image

If you have an image or photo that you’ve already created, you can put it on a Cafe Press product. Or, if you have a copyright-free images (such as the ones on my image CDs), you can use any of them on your Cafe Press products, too.

You may want to mix an image and a clever quotation or slogan, or the name of your business. (The first Cafe Press product I ever saw was owned by my son. It was a baseball cap with the name of his favorite website.)

When you’re designing the images that you’ll put on your Cafe Press items, you may want
to use the templates that Cafe Press provides. If you’re designing a wall clock, this can be handy.

Or, you might prefer to know the precise dimensions of each product, so that you can create a graphic to fit it exactly. These sizes (and links to templates) are listed at http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/help_image_sizes.aspx.

Remember to make your graphic at least 100 pixels/inch, and preferably about 300 pixels/inch.
Cafe Press provides some helpful information about images in their Help pages, if you want
more guidance. (Personally, I try to make images that are at least 150 pixels/inch, and I
upload them as PNGs or JPGs.)

Once you’ve created an image that you’d like to use on Cafe Press products, upload it
into your Media Basket (listed under “Sell Online”).
