It's on! The second annual DonorsChoose.org Blogger Challenge is live, with bloggers competing to raise money.

TechCrunch, Engadget, BoingBoing, AVC, Silicon Valley Moms Blog, BoomTown, Apartment Therapy, and other top bloggers have created giving pages on DonorsChoose.org listing their favorite classroom project requests," but says smaller bloggers shouldn't worry: The challenge "is about the engagement and generosity of your readers, not the number of your readers."
