Blogkeeping: Those ads and post 1000

Although no one has mentioned the ads in the left hand column of the blog, I thought I should explain why they are there. My blogoverlord and ace photog Paul will benefit from any purchases made via a clickthrough so if you are in the market for a camera or something else, consider these merchants. Paul helps me keep the doors open and so I am glad to help him do the same.
The Bullycide book is one I contributed to and provides support for the wonderful work of Brenda High and Bully Police.
The WordPress dashboard tells me that this is the 1000th post here on wthrockmorton.com. Thanks to readers and contributors for helping to create a fun and civil forum for discussion. The blog format is a good fit for me and I have gained much from sharing ideas and getting reactions. The next 1000 starts soon…

Bullycide in America: New resource available

Some have asked me why I initiated and supported the Golden Rule Pledge Initiative along with the Day of Silence. Watch this video and I hope you can feel a little of the anguish that is the daily life of a child who is the target of bullying.

The song is a way of introducing the new e-book Bullycide in America: Moms speak out about the bullying’suicide connection. Full disclosure: I have some articles in this book and have done some volunteering for this group. These stories and those of kids I know have touched me in profound ways and I hope will go a long way toward creating change. There are multiple factors which inform an understanding of bullying and I hope these cases and articles will help raise awareness.
