  • The 48-hour blogging marathon starts...NOW!


    Guest

    It's a blogging marathon!

    Yep, for the next 48-hours I will be blogging consecutively about TFC, MLS, the World Cup, NASL and the Canadian national teams. What that means in practice is that there will be 24 new posts published over the next two days.

    For the math challenged that's one per every two hours.

    This is a repeat of something I did in 2009 that proved to be popular. The only difference is that I did 24 posts in 24 hours at that point. I could repeat that, but the quality would suffer.

    That's the thing: The purpose of doing this is to demonstrate what kind of quality this site can produce in a quick period of time. It's also an illustration of my commitment to bring this site back to its former volume of postings.

    No, we can't do 12 posts a day -- not without a significant investment -- but three to five? That was the case in the past and it can be the case again.

    What needs to happen to ensure that type of volume is for us to reach our fundraising goal of $2,400. We are 25 percent there already. Based on reaching that level I will ensure that we will provide no fewer than 10 posts a week for the rest of the 2014 season.

    This will be the only time we ask this year. If we can find a corporate sponsor -- and, yes, we are actively looking for one -- then this might be the only time we ask. For the record, we've only asked one prior time. That was five years ago.

    If you have noticed the increased coverage over the last three days and you enjoy the marathon please consider making a donation of your choosing. No amount is too small (or, big ;)).

    There are four ways to donate.

    1) You can send an EMT to CSNDonation@gmail.com

    2) You can make a PayPal donation to dgrollins@gmail.com

    3) You can make a cash donation to me in person (I will be at BMO Field on Wednesday -- email me for my phone number to arrange a meet up)

    4) You can mail me a cheque. Email me at DuaneGRollins@gmail.com for address.

    Thanks to all that have contributed so far and thanks to those who are considering a contribution.
