The ongoing charity readership drive will close tomorrow. It has succeeded beyond my expectations, in large part thanks to Sgt. Hook and his generous linkage*. The winning charity is the extremely worthy Operation Shoe Fly.

However it's not over yet. There's still 24 hours for the sitemeter to go right through the roof and to take the donation for the large to huge. As an extra sweetener I will double the donation for the rise in the average from now until the cut-off tomorrow (subject again to a reasonable limit).

What does that mean? At the moment the average is 434, compared to 203 when this started. That's a donation of HK$462 (US$59.25) for the Sarge. For every extra rise in that average I will increase the donation by HK$4 instead of HK$2 (again, subject to that limit).

So it ain't over yet....

While you're at it, don't forget about the New Blog Showcase blog. Start spreading the word and get those new blogs the exposure they deserve.
