Today has been designated blog relief day for Hurricane Katrina. NZ from The Truth Laid Bear is tracking some of the action on a special blog relief participant page. Make your donation then register it on the site.

I'm sending my check to the American Red Cross of Central Florida. My husband is on the board and I know the CEO personally, so I vouch for their ethical use of donations.

If you have trouble getting on the home page, google your local chapter (e.g., "Orlando American Red Cross"). I couldn't get the national home page to load, but the Central Florida page, part of the same site, came right up via a google link.

Glen's roundup post has a list of charities and other related resources, including the Hurricane Katrina help wiki link.

Disclaimer: While I may not agree with, endorse or support the views expressed on the blogs listed herein, that's irrelevant today, I do agree with and support their efforts to raise relief funds. My focus is on getting the word out about the blog relief effort and motivating as people as possible to donate.
