Back in early October

we announced our support for the Blogger Challenge put on by
href="http://www.donorschoose.org/" id="peke" >DonorsChoose.org.
Now that October has come to a close, it's time to recognize
what DonorsChoose, 100 bloggers and their readers have
accomplished: they've raised $420,000 for classroom projects,
which will benefit more than 75,000 students in low-income
communities.
We promised a nod to those who helped raise the most money for
students, so without further ado, here are the Blogger Challenge
categories and winning blogs:
Lit Liberation:

id="uczo" >Tim Ferriss
Technology: Fred
Wilson
General: Sarah
Bunting
Topical/Local: id="z4hk" >Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan
We extend our gratitude and congratulations to these winners and
all of the participating bloggers for making this a success. Of
course, we all owe thanks to their readers for supporting students.
Sarah Bunting of Tomato Nation took this to heart and thanked her
readers in her own (tomato) way — enjoy!
