Change is a comin...

A number of small (or maybe no so small) changes are being inacted on the blog. I've removed the Event links section, and replaced that with countdown timers and links to the 2009 Event schedule.

I've shifted the Destination Addis Ababa up to front and Center. I was looking for a bar or line slider type of widget, rather than a mileage ticker, but I've not found anything cool yet. Something similar to the Adoption countdown bar we used once before.

Most importantly, you'll see that the Team World Vision First Giving sponsorship link is up and active. The Sponsorship page still needs a little work, but its functioning. You can check it out at http://www.firstgiving.com/twollnik2009 Its a terrible economy, I certainly recognize that. But if its bad for us, just think of all those that were already in need. How much worse it much be for them.

So my suggestion? Shop at Aldi for a week or two, and put the savings towards a charitable cause. Of course, I'd love to have you sponsor me, but the idea is that there are others in greater need than ourselves.
