There are only a few days left in October. Which means you better be getting your Halloween costume together, this ridiculously long election cycle is almost over, and we're almost out of time in this year's DonorsChoose Blogger Challenge.

Nearly one week into the month-long Blogger Challenge, here's an update: We've got tons of great prizes, you've got a better-than-great chance of winning one if you participate, and I've got the Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Do So Today.

More about the DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge, how you can participate, and how you can win awesome and valuable prizes for doing so. Any more questions? Just email Susie. The Challenge runs all through October, so open those wallets for the children!

It’s time to exercise something besides your mouse finger. So brush up on your classic literature (or maybe just your Monty Python) and get your wits about you.

Help kids! Win prizes! Save the world! (And I promise not to use any more exclamation points.)
