How to Help Progressive Wednesday

Help Progressive Wednesday

Problem:

We’re back after a long, long hiatus, and friends, you could really help out our people-powered-progressive cause. Otherwise, we might resort to more alliteration, and really, who wants that?

Make Progress:

Six’s as good a number as any, so here goes:

1. Since you’ve got brains and heart-felt brawn, we’d like to tap into that (the kegs that you are?). So, please do send us ideas, links, topics, and tips. Big ups and thanks in advance.
2. Is it swag you want? Well, it’s swag you get, baby. You can snag yourself t-shirts, bumper stickers, mugs, garb for your favorite canine, and the 2010-2011 Progressive Wednesday calendar, a compilation of gorgeous images snapped by our photo editor, Bris Robinson.
3. You really don’t need Yahoo! or Google or CNN as the first thing you see when you fire up your Internet browser. That’s so 2002. Why not set ProgressiveWednesday.com as your homepage?
4. If you’re a blogger, you could lend a binary hand and Google bomb with us. Every time you write the words “progressive,” “Wednesday,” “action,” “activism,” and “progress,” you could set a hyperlink to ProgressiveWednesday.com. Our goal is to shock and awe and knock that insurance company, which will remain nameless, from the top spot when folks search for “progressive.” That seems like a word that the insurance bastards companies shouldn’t own.
5. Every Wednesday we send out reminders to folks that today’s the big day. You can sign up for email reminders by shooting us a line through our contact page. We promise not to give out this information to any individual, advertiser, organization, or company. With your permission, we’ll also send you monthly e-newsletters with updates, links, and other ways you can make progress happen in this here country of ours.
6. Obviously, we’ve got permalinks on our pages, so you can link to those from your blog or your blog of choice. You can also pass those links along to your pals through Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. (Does anyone still use MySpace, save perverts and musicians?)
