Jitsu and Go Pink
Written by Tyme White on September 6, 2006
In the past I wrote about finding new content on the internet. Member James Archer has a new project, Jitsu. One new page daily (Monday through Friday). Never the same page twice. I see this as a great way for bloggers to get traffic for their blog, companies to promote cool products, etc. One new thing a day I can handle. I’ll be watching to see who takes advantage of the opportunity. Contact James so I can see cool stuff. Thanks, appreciate it.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and you’ll notice 9rules members adding pink to their sites. Matthew Oliphant started Pink for October to help bring awareness to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The goal: To get as many sites to Go Pink, where pink is the prominent color.
If you’re like me, pink might be one of your least favorite colors and the thought of what could be done to integrate pink into your site might be challenging. Natalie Jost wrote a nice article on the different things that can be done with pink and how to get inspired. For those lacking in design inspiration, at the bottom there is a wonderful surprise: Comfy Chair – a pink theme you can download along with links to pink themes.
I’m sure as October approaches there will be more discussion about pink. Are you going to go pink?

Thanks for the write-up, Tyme!
That is one aspect of this event that will be interesting to see: since pink can be a challenging colour to work with… what will people do? I look forward to seeing.
And since most of the sites that will likely participate are blogs, I can’t think of a better way to start talking with our visitors about breast cancer. This is an opportunity to become educated and to educate others as well.

I asked the same question in the notes section a while ago and got some good responses, but I’m all for it.

Jitsu seems like a very interesting idea. Well, I sent them my email and we will see what happens.

My brother (and fellow 9ruler) Louis and his friends recently did something for the Children’s Cancer Foundation in Singapore:

One step ahead of you… My site has been pink for a while, but I will certainly write a blog to raise awareness for Breast Cancer. It is a great cause and if it helps just one person it is worth it!

Well pink is one of my least favorite colors, but I also believe that Breast Cancer Awareness is far more important than my lack of interest in a color. I have begun to implement it already on my blog, the front page is done, now I’m just working on the secondary pages. It is a tedious process, but well worth it in my opinion if the awareness spreads.
