I kicked the day off chatting to Mike Hillier on Facebook Live - watch it again here:
Every year I encourage people to write blog posts, take the challenge, share memes and interact, and this year is no different.
What is different is that I'd like you to start doing all those things now.
If we wait, the risk is there's a flurry of activity on the day, people get interested... and then it's over. Opportunity missed.
Because if you start talking about it now, there's time for word to spread, and for even more people to be actively involved on the day.
Which is what it's all about.
(If you don't know what it's all about yet - click here to get up speed)
So, stop what you're doing, right now !
First - share this post somewhere - anywhere - with a message saying you support the event.
Next - look at your calendar. Pick a time this week, and mark in some time for "DRD promo". Whatever you can spare - an hour here, an hour there - whatever.
And then...
When the time comes, do something. Email some friends, post on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, record a short video clip on your phone saying what DRD is and why you support it, why you're taking the challenge, whatever - and share. Spread the word about what you've done as far as you can, and post it on the DRD Facebook page so we can re-share it.
That's it ! Job done.
Except - before you go - maybe pick another time in your calendar, and do it again ?!
And of course, create a huge, dynamic online on the day itself 🙂
Thanks for reading, and thanks for being part of this.

Youtube have started using “loudness normalisation” – so that everything plays back at a similar volume, no matter how hard it was pushed in the recording, mixing or mastering.
It’s like having your own personal DJ, making sure you don’t have to keep reaching for the volume control.
And it cancels out the effects of the loudness war in a single stroke.
