When you want to raise money for a charity with Blogathon, you first select a charity of your choice. This charity isn’t from a list they provide; you can come up with your own. Then on the day Blogathon says, you publish posts to your blog every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. Each post can be worth a certain donation. You can read more about it at their site. It can be especially fun when you team up with someone to trade posting duties.

The charity Tish has chosen is The University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine, which is a place where her dogs have received health care. A worthy cause, I’d say. I recommend you check out her post about it and learn more about how you can help her. To show her thanks to donators, she’s holding a drawing for a gift card at Books-A-Million.

Article Alley is a directory where you can find all sorts of free content. I’m even a publisher of their fine service so I know what I’m talking about. They have a PR5, which is not only an accomplishment, but it also helps publisher get recognized in the search engines when their articles come up in the results.

Submitting an article is easy, but it’s even easier to fine a free article for you to republish on your own blog. Once you find an article you’re interested in, you just click on the republish button and you’ll be taken to a new browser window where you will find the article in a text field in HTML format. Just copy and paste it to your blog and you’re good to go. It’s like having your own writer without having to go through the hassle of paying for one.

Maybe you need a break from publishing your own content on your blog, or perhaps you are going on vacation. Looking over the articles at Article Alley could provide you with some content to schedule for posting while you’re away. It’s a great way to cut your writing costs and your writing time.

Hansen Wholesale Ceiling Fans has a very informative list of frequently asked questions that can prepare you for your next ceiling fan purchase. For example, inexpensive ceiling fans may look good and save you money, but they’re cheaply made and don’t have the noise-canceling components you really need. What you end up with is a fan that may cool you off, but will wobble to the point of “oh my gosh, is this thing going to take off?” or make enough noise to keep you awake at night.

Ceiling fans are more than just about moving air around. Sure that’s a big part of their purpose, but you want one that has silent operation, looks good with the furniture and is installed at an appropriate height. The latter of which will provide you with two benefits. One is that it will be more efficient at cooling your room. Second, too low and it could be a hazard for passersby or especially for children who can’t resist climbing up on a chair or sofa to see if they can stick something in it.

Hansen Whole ceiling fans is not only an informative site for purchasing ceiling fans, but you can also find the best deals on purchases you make there. They have brand names like Minka Aire, Hunter, Casablanca and others. Check them out and stay cool this summer.

Since 1975, Trophiesales.com has been providing companies and sports teams with top notch products that show all kinds of team members what a great job they have done. Corporate awards, in my opinion, are now more important than ever what with the struggling economy we’re facing. Business can be stressful enough as it is, but when employees are expected to go even further with their efforts, then that tends to put a damper on the overall corporate environment.

The sports world is no different. Football trophies and baseball trophies, or any other sport for that matter, can make a player feel good about themselves when they’ve won a championship. It also can help boost the reputation of the coach involved because it shows that he or she is doing a good job training the players well.

Sports awards aren’t all Trophiesales.com offers. They also provide a selection of military and police awards, academia and other types of competitions. Be sure to check them out the next time you want to recognize someone for doing a great job.

For the frequent traveler, a rugged yet stylish form of Tumi luggage may be just the thing to protect your items. Its polycarbonate shell provides durability and retains its scratch-proof exterior. The retractable top and side handles make for easy lifting and carrying. Plus, the embedded wheels can make those long walks to the airport terminal less aggravating.

That’s just one of many brands you can find on their site. Hartmann luggage and Briggs and Riley luggage are other well-known name brands that provide plenty of space to pack your things for any type of traveling.

But that’s not all you can shop for at Village Luggage & Gifts. Admittedly, it’s a not often you find luggage and gifts in one place, but that may be because business travelers need a little more than just luggage, particularly things they can use while in the office. Briefcases, pens, clocks, desk sets and globes all make an excellent choice for a gift of thanks for a job well done, or for milestones that have been accomplished.

You can find all types of lockers on their site. The variety ranges from the standard single vertical tier type (about 60 inches tall) to the box style that’s meant for smaller items and take up less space, to name a few. They also have quite a gym locker selection that come in 1-5 tiers. Or perhaps when space is at a premium and the student usage is transient with only temporary needs to store their stuff during class, the smaller box styles may be just the thing.

Lockers aren’t the only thing they sell there either. They also sell locker accessories to expand the usage of the storage equipment. Locker tops and bases, shelves, locks, partitions, and many other items all provide the means to stretch your dollar without having to invest in a completely different set of locker assembly. So sure are they that you won’t find cheaper lockers for sale anywhere else on the Internet, that they have a 100% low price guarantee on all of their products. And if you have a question at any time — pre- or post-sales — they have made available a live chat option in addition to their “contact us” form and phone access.
