Every year I seem to miss National Delurker Day. I promise myself that next year I’ll do it, but it comes and goes without a second thought. But today I was reading some blogs and noticed that “Hey! It’s Delurker Day! I should see how many of my lurkers I can get to delurk!” (Ok, really? I just like saying the word “lurker”. I don’t know why. It may be the influence of my children. I may wait for them to get in the car today and then just start saying “lurkerlurkerlurkerlurker” like they do to me and see how long it takes them to snap. Is that wrong?)
Anyway, onto National Delurker Day:
No, it’s not what you think…it’s a day where all you people who read my blog(I know you’re there…I see the numbers in my stat counter) and don’t comment can say “Hello!”. I want to know that you’re out there. I do. I really do!
And I’m going to steal Emily’s idea for today and say that for every comment I get today, I will give $1 to Compassion(who is responding immediately) and $1 to Heifer International(who will be focusing on the rebuilding of Haiti). This tragedy has touched my heart, and one of our own in this virtual community has been impacted specifically(her daughter is adopted from the area).
Let me know who’s out there…and help me do my little part to help Haiti.
*I grabbed this graphic from Greeblemonkey, who I’ve never read before today…but will from this day forward! 🙂
**UPDATED: I had 20 comments, so I donated $20 to Compassion and $20 to Heifer. Thank you all.
i’m not a lurker… i have commented on several occasions, but hello anyway 🙂
Hello for the how-many-eth time this week! I’m more than happy to help you donate to Haiti! Everyone has their favorites, but I’ve also found some good spots to rest my money on http://www.globalgiving.org.
I am not a lurker. But I thought I’d say hi today anyway. 🙂
I don’t comment often, but I’m not exactly a stranger. Also, I really hope that graphic isn’t something that symbolizes me in any context ever. Kind of creepy…
Hey!
I’m a lurkey-lurker!

What a lovely idea. I know that every single dollar counts. Thanks for being a part of my on line village!
You’re doing an amazing thing! Thanks for being a great part of my community! (((hugs)))
It’s so easy to lurk from a feed reader. This is a fabulous idea and I’m excited to be part of it!
Hallo! I am always a day late and a dollar short, but here I am, delurking while my children defecate on the living room rug. Just kidding, that was totally the DOG.
What an awesome idea! I may have to steal this one from you down the road. I only wish I wasn’t so far behind on my blog reading, so I could have left a comment sooner!
Can’t wait to see you in April!
