Pink for October

Sep 21st, 07 | 5 remarks

I'm going Pink for OctoberOctober is drawing near, and if you haven’t already, it’s time to consider Going Pink! Last year over 1500 websites went pink to promote breast cancer awareness during the month of October, thanks to Matthew and his Pink for October campaign.

June marked my mother’s fifth year as a survivor, so this subject is near and dear to my heart. I’m very excited to announce Design Adaptations will be on board! In fact, I’ve been thinking about a refresh for October since learning of the initiative last year! :)

There’s still time to put together your own pink theme, or you can download the one I’ll be releasing next week, that I’ve dubbed Pink Adaptations. (I wish I could tell you it’s ready now, but I need to correct a few positioning issues with the header and sidebar.)

Natalie of Standards for Life has also released a few very lovely themes in preparation, or you can pick up a badge or button to promote the initiative.

I invite you to join in promoting such a worthy cause, and hope to see you in Pink!
