October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. You may not have known that until now…then again, you may have just come out from under your rock. At any rate, I don’t have boobies (gasp!) but the way I see it just about half of the world’s population does; and any time something affects half of the population of Earth like Breast Cancer does it’s worthy of at least part of my attention. That’s why I am, in my small way, supporting “Pink for October.”
Now, you should know that most of the people who are supporting this are actually going through the trouble of changing or recoloring their entire color scheme on their blog in support of this. Also, at least one person I know of has released a pink-ish theme that coincides with October. It looks really cool and is worth a looksee. Me, I’m not so much a designer, and I’m lazy. But I love jumping on bandwagons (hey, at least I admit it). That’s why instead of recoloring or redesigning my blog I’m just adding a little pink link in the header “pfo.” badge in the upper right corner. If you can’t figure out what that stands for then I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna spell it out for you.
I’m not sure how effective “Pink for October” will be, admittedly it seems a little contrived. Sort of like “Grandparents day” or “Greeting card day” or “Sweetest day.” But still, I can’t help it when I see a bandwagon rolling through my neighborhood; I just have to jump on. Especially when it’s for a good cause.
Edit: The badge you see in the upper right corner is part of a package available for download from the Pink for October site I linked.
Edit: Natalie Jost also has a great looking pink theme available for download. Clicky.
