Comic Relief’s engagement this year with social networking and web 2.0 developments
has paid off in a number of ways. For example, 100 British bloggers have contributed
to a book “Shaggy Blog Stories: a collection of amusing tales from the UK blogosphere”
which will raise funds for Comic Relief.
According to Steve Bridger at [nfp2.0](http://www.nfp2.co.uk/2007/03/16/shaggy-blog-stories-for-comic-relief),
the book was put together in just seven days.

Contributors include Richard Herring, Andrew Collins (BBC 6Music), Emma Kennedy,
James Henry (Channel 4’s “Green Wing”), Abby Lee (Girl With A One-Track Mind), Catherine
Sanderson (Petite Anglaise), Zoe McCarthy (My Boyfriend Is A Twat), novelist David
Belbin, Anna Pickard (The Guardian), and “a diverse selection of some of the UK’s
most talented bloggers”.

It can be purchased online, of course, from Lulu.com for £8.96. Just 40 hours after
the book had been launched, 266 copies had been sold, raising £1,234.24 for Comic
Relief, including Gift Aid.
