Okay: buttons! I decided to call it National Blog POSTING Month instead of WRITING month because let’s face it, a lot of what we do, to paraphrase Truman Capote, is closer to typing than the other thing. You know, deathless prose.

If you want to use one of these buttons, please upload it to your own server and link back to this url:

(The official NaBloPoMo page is under construction but should be up by this afternoon.)

If you don’t know what “upload to your own server” means then you probably don’t have one, but check with your blogging service to see if they’ll host the image for you. If you still don’t know what the hell I’m talking about, e-mail me.

So there you go. I seem to be starting early with the daily posting thing, so feel free to do likewise if the mood strikes.

Also: t-shirts? Is this getting totally out of hand?

(“Aut blog aut mori” is most likely incorrect Latin for “blog or die.”)
