Why Blogsponsorship?
We want to be a catalyst for the connecting and networking of social ideas that, usually, have problems positioning themselves in classic media. We also want to show people with little affinity to the internet, via blog sponsorships, how easy it is to publish and get connected online and what they can gain from this.
In April 2008 we started our first appeal.
We think that „Blogpatenschaften“ can help less internet savvy people understand Web 2.0 the social web. As an example, there are many people that have something important to say, but do not know that the internet can help get their message out there. Experienced bloggers can pass on Know-How, make guest posting possible, or take on a sponsorship for a person or an existing project.
In this way Web-Newbies gain access to publishing, researching and networking online. This can be enriching for both partners as these examples show. Bloggers and non-bloggers can look at things from a different context and social projects and niche-subjects can gain wide publicity with the help of committed bloggers.
If you feel this applies to you and want to take part in either role, you are welcome. Maybe this can be one further impulse for a self assembled movement that connects online involvement with that outside the web.

We promote Blog Action Day 2008.
In my opinion, the “Blog Action Day” is a great idea. Today, attention is very important. This initiative has the potential to direct attention to social drawbacks in a global context. But, what should people do who aren’t bloggers? In Germany, we try to convince bloggers of giving people the opportunity to write an article as guest in their weblogs. People who don’t
have an own blog can choose a weblog from a list at http://www.blogpatenschaften.de/liste-der-blogpaten and contact the weblog’s owner to ask for guest blogging. Christian Spannagel
