Blogging for relief: Have you made your contribution yet?

As of now, the Hurricane Katrina: Blog for Relief Weekend has raised $712,928.

I've recommended that readers contribute to the Salvation Army because I know that, for every dollar they raise, 83 cents goes directly to the intended recipients.

Because of the overwhelming response, the Army has set up five different donations servers: Here, here, here, here and here to take donations. You can also pledge by phone at 1-800-SAL-ARMY or by mail at PO BOX 4857, JACKSON, MS 39296-4857--write "disaster relief" on the checks. You can log your donation here.

If you'd rather donate to a different charity, here's a list of recommended charities. The Fugly Girls have more charities, including corporations that are offering matching donations and stores where you can donate at the register.

Do what you can.
