Shaggy Blog Stories… for Comic Relief
My daughter Nelly was shuttled off to infant school this morning dressed as “Super Nelly” with a pocketful of loose change. Yes, it’s that time again: Red Nose Day.
But did you know that 100 British bloggers have contributed to a book to raise funds for Comic Relief? You do now.
The book, “Shaggy Blog Stories: a collection of amusing tales from the UK blogosphere”, is the idea of Mike Atkinson who writes the ‘Troubled Diva’ blog.
The book went from idea to finished product in a “ridiculously short” seven days, using the latest publishing-on-demand technology.
To ORDER THE BOOK - it’s less than 10 quid - visit Lulu.com.
Take a look at Mike’s blog for the background story on how “Shaggy Blog Stories” came about.
Finally, after the laughter dies down, remind yourself here, and here, why all this silly stuff every two years.
Oh, and finally (finally)… I’ll be publishing an interview with Martin Gill, Head of New Media at Comic Relief, sometime next week. Hopefully.

Thanks for the mention - and it would be great if you could mention the project to Martin Gill, as to the best of my knowledge Comic Relief know nothing about it.
