Pink for October!

You may have noticed our site looks a bit different (click on over RSS readers!) and that’s because we are participating in Pink for October for the second year in a row! All the participants change their site or blog to pink for the month of October to help bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This is a great cause for anyone to support but it’s especially important for me because my mother died from breast cancer. Please educate yourself about this disease; if you are a woman get regular mammograms and make sure your mothers, sisters, wives or girlfriends are getting them too!
I also want to highlight the Blogger Boobie-Thon. It runs from October 1st to October 7th so please go donate (even just a few dollars helps)! All proceeds go directly to the Susan G. Komen (or a related charity). You can also submit pictures of your own boobies (covered or not) for the cause!
And remember that if you want to go Pink for October, too, we’re currently having a sale on blog designs and graphics. 25% off!
For those who can’t afford a new design (or would rather spend the money on a donation!), I’ve finally gotten around to updating my most popular free WordPress theme called Pink Midnight. It’s now updated for WordPress 2.5 and above with all recent features like tags, gravatars, image captions and widgets. Wanna see it in action?
This WordPress theme is completely free and available for download. Since it’s a free theme that I’ve already put a lot of time into, unpaid support or installation is not offered, but it includes a very detailed “Read Me” file with all important information and installation instructions so please refer to that. Also, check out our Resources page which has two sections of helpful WordPress links, one specifically for Themes.
Want some other pink options? Check out these:
- Making It Easy to Go Pink – WordPress and Twitter themes and backgrounds
- Free Pink for October Templates – Blogger templates (Scroll down to the bottom of the page, on the sidebar under Links)
And finally, we’ve donated a free year of hosting as a prize for Pink for October’s bi-weekly contests which will be running all month. The first contest started yesterday, so go participate for your chance to win one of the great prizes from the sponsors!

Thanks so much for linking the templates. I think the most important link for using Blogger templates is the instruction page I wrote on how to switch templates. It can be found here.

I promise I’m not trying to advertise in your comments, but then I don’t have ads so nothing to advertise. I just want people to know that I’ll happily help with their blogger templates no matter where they get them.
I don’t, however, do Word Press templates so I’m hoping that you’ll be coming up with something new for this year.
I love the clean, swank look of the pink midnight template.
I’ll link to you for people using WP.
Everyone should be able to show their support.
Unfortunately the link to pinkforoctober.org is no longer valid. People can get the badge here.
