Did you know December 1st is World AIDS Day? Well, now you certainly do.

Today I won’t try to offer you original content creation ideas. Instead, I’ll simply ask you to participate of the collective efforts to spread the word on AIDS related topics.

Please, don’t let this date pass unnoticed. You don’t have to do anything complex nor sophisticated—unless you can and want, of course. However, in case you don’t have much time and/or ideas, don’t let these little issues discourage you. All you have to do is produce a simple piece of content showing that you support AIDS related causes, such as:

• The fight against AIDS discrimination
• AIDS prevention (differences between effective and non-effective methods)
• Raising awareness on AIDS transmission/symptoms/treatment
• The AIDS crisis in Africa
• AIDS charities
• AIDS orphans

You can use any type of content, including but not limited to:

• Blog posts
• Site articles
• Visual arts (drawing, painting, digital art, photography, photo manipulation…)
• Short videos
• Podcasts
• Webcomics
• Microblogging (at Twitter you should use the tag #WAD08)

Looking for AIDS related resources?

• Bloggers Unite could be your starting point (mainly for U.S. residents).
• As always, Wikipedia is your friend. You’d better read the AIDS Wikipedia page written in your country’s language, so you can increase you chances of finding information and links that are truly relevant to your nation.
• For a more global approach, go to World AIDS Campaign, which is available in several languages.

Thank you for taking action on World AIDS Day.
