Back Scratching

13 July 2007

Do you have a blog of your own or a website?

If you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours. I can give your blog  great exposure. If you post about this blog and provide a link, then I will list you as a supporter and link back to your blog. Simply post about this blog on your blog, and then tell me about it. Each week, I’ll make a post with a list of people who supported this blog.

Make sure you include a link to this blog, with the following URL:

http://millionsofmouths.com/blog/nfblog/

Also, write your thoughts about this blog, and perhaps poverty in general. It doesn’t have to be anything long. Take the following as an example:

Today I want to tell you all about the Hunger & Poverty Blog. It’s an important blog about hunger, poverty, and other serious social issues. 18,000 children die every day from hunger, and it’s time we all started to do something about it! I’m glad to give the Hunger & Poverty Blog my support!

Once you post about this blog, tell me and send me the URL of your post. You can tell me on the Hunger & Poverty Forums or by emailing webmaster@millionsofmouths.com.

Thank you!

Compared with the amount of visitors we get at the Hunger & Poverty Forums, not many people join and talk. It seems people don’t have too much interest in discussing issues such as hunger, poverty and disease. I suppose I can understand, because these topics come across as depressing and very serious, and people generally like light-hearted and happy talk.

I see this as unfortunate, because we need to address these serious problems to have any chance at solving them. I see open discussion as the most important step in successfully fighting hunger, poverty, AIDS, and such. To successfully fight hunger and poverty, we need to raise awareness and come up with new methods, because the old ways have not worked. Open and rational discussion meets those ends. We can share our ideas, and brainstorm to develop well-thought-out plans to successfully end preventable social ills such as hunger, poverty, homelessness.

We cannot afford to ignore these issues any longer.

I do not see these as sad or depressing topics. On the contrary, we can approach it with hope and passion, by realizing that we can successfully fight these social problems. I created the Hunger & Poverty Discussion Forums not for useless whining, but rather for productive discussion.

Through such discussion, we can put our minds together and figure out effective ways to make positive changes to our society, thus making the world a better place for all. We can do that!

First, how can we get more people to join these important discussions at the Hunger & Poverty Forums?

How can we show people that the Hunger & Poverty Forums contain practical hope not fruitless despair?

I intend to put on my thinking cap, but please come to the Hunger & Poverty Forums and post any suggestions you have.

If you have not already, please join the Hunger & Poverty Forums, and please share your thoughts.

Get pixels at millionsofmouths.com for 90% off during the month of March to help fund the fight against world hunger.

Millions Of Mouths March Markdown – Through the month of March, you can buy pixels at 10% of the regular price. That’s only 1 cent per pixel!

What is Millions Of Mouths?

Millions Of Mouths intends to sell a million pixels to raise over a million pounds of food to help feed the millions of starving and hungry people.

    The Facts:

  • 852 million people across the world are hungry.
  • Every day, more than 18,000 children die from hunger-related causes–one child every five seconds.
  • One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S. goes to bed hungry every night.
  • Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger.
  • For the price of one missile, a school full of hungry children could eat lunch every day for 5 years.

What Does Millions Of Mouths Do?

Millions Of Mouths sells pixel advertisements on the homepage of our website (millionsofmouths.com). This means that anyone can purchase a block on a click-able pixel grid; whenever anyone clicks on any of those pixels they are sent to the pixels owner’s website.

How Much Goes To The Hungry?

Every pixel purchased helps fund 1lb of food to the hungry.

How Much Will Millions Of Mouths Raise?

If we reach our goal of 1 million pixels in a year, we will have raised over $100,000 to fund one million pounds of food to feed the millions of hungry people.

How can I help?

What If I Don’t Have A Website?

You can advertise any site you wish with the pixels you purchase. If you do not have a website, you can advertise any third-party site. We recommend a hunger-related site such as www.thehungersite.com.

Recent Additions

20 August 2006

I’ve recently added some pages to millionsofmouths.com.

First, I’ve added a page about my hero Diogenes The Cynic, the philosopher who chose to live in poverty. You can find this at http://millionsofmouths.com/diogenes.html

Secondly, I’ve just added a message board about hunger and poverty to the website. This message board is new, so obviously discussion is slow to start. That’s all the more reason for you to go, register and start discussing these important issues. Also, I’m looking for moderators, so if you ever wanted to moderate discussion forums now’s your chance. You can find this at http://forums.millionsofmouths.com

The Hunger Blog

12 July 2006

The fight against hunger involves so much. Here at Millions Of Mouths, we want to thank everyone who helps the cause.

The fight against hunger involves, above all, raising awareness and just getting the facts out. For that reason, we have started this blog. We started this blog to bring out the facts, to raise awareness, to provide links to hunger sites and to publish current news and information on the hunger war.

Please help us help the hungry by checking in with our blog and telling your friends about this blog and MillionsOfMouths.com.

To aid us with the hunger struggle, we sell pixel advertisements on the Millions Of Mouths homepage (http://www.millionsofmouths.com/). Our goal is to raise over fifty thousand dollars for the hungry in less than a year. Help us reach that goal by purchasing pixels from our homepage (http://www.millionsofmouths.com/), by telling your friends about MillionsOfMouths.com, and by clicking the pixel grid on our homepage. (Remember, every click on the grid increases the value of the pixel advertising and thus increases the likelihood that we’ll reach or even surpass our goal.)

We have a chance to make a real noticeable difference. So, please, tell your friends about Millions Of Mouths; purchase pixels from our homepage (http://www.millionsofmouths.com/); and, click the pixel grid as much as possible.

Keep checking back at this blog for information and updates about the war on hunger.

Thank you,

The Millions Of Mouths Team
