I want to send a shout out to all the readers who open their hearts and wallet for the Union Gospel Mission 68th annual Christmas Dinner drive. Thanks to you, we’ve raised another $700 to add to the $5,000 already donated. A thank you goes out to the following.
Israel Lagares, Simon Gould, Steve Olson, Deanna, Ryan Burglehaus, Nick Throlson, Jeff Kinsey, Richard Delgado, Steve McGrath, Bruce Nunnally, Colin Klinkert, Kiki Kukiki, Reaper TV, Simon Chen, Faryl Zaklin, Ken Watanabe, Andrew Miller, Gary Ng, Tanya, Kevin Gillett, Lazy Man, Melissa Miller
Donations are still being accepted\ and I will continue to do shout out in both blog post and Dot Com Pho to any readers who help to support this drive. Tomorrow is US Thanksgiving. What better way to give thanks than by proving a hot meal to someone living on the street? Your donation could be the start of a new life and new beginning for someone in need.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

I have entered the comp to win the prize for my favourite charity.
Good work to those who gave
A giving spirit reaps big rewards
Indeed a noble thing John is doing – and you always have to give to recieve!! One of the articles I’m going to be writing on the topic of “no one owes you anything” will certainly cover this idea in some way shape or form – hope some of you guys will be able to check it out – my current article of “looking at the big picture” is already a huge hit in my small but growing community
Thanks for the shout out John.
My Entry is also in for the Charity contest:

John,
I’m planning a massive donation launch next week.
Seeking help from UBD for web page design and donation button creation. Will DM you on Twitter as we harden the date. It’s for KIDS!
More to come, thank you for triggering my ‘giving-spirit’ with your Union Gospel Mission posts.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day, i m going to Casino tonight, if i won some money, then i will donate %50 of my money to Charity. Good luck to me! LOL
It really warms my heart seeing the generosity of the readers here at johnchow.com It really is comforting to know that amongst all the terrible and awful things that happen in our world, there are still those dedicated to bettering the lives of others.
Keep up the damn good work.
Dang, I have still yet to donate to your charity events, John
Every single time this is done, I don’t have money in Paypal 
Since I still have to pay out tons of debt, it’s hard for me to put in money with credit card
