New York, NY (PRWEB) September 19, 2006 -- OneWebDay is scheduled on September 22 for everyone around the physical globe to celebrate the Web and what it means as individuals, organizations, and communities. And according to Stephanie M. Cockerl, one of the most important ways to celebrate this technology is to give back.
"Web technology has changed the face of how we communicate, both in the business and personal realms," says Cockerl. "It's important to honor this gift by giving something back to the web." She is the owner of nextSTEPH (www.nextSTEPH.com), a web development and marketing company that works with entrepreneurs, media companies, non-profit organizations, educational institutions and small businesses.
"The mission of OneWebDay is to create, maintain, advance, and promote a global day to celebrate online life. It's not hard to share your appreciation on OneWebDay," says Cockerl. She suggests the following ways to volunteer:
1. Find a nonprofit that you like and share its web address with your friends via email.
2. Use your blog to promote a cause.
3. Donate web design or web writing services to a nonprofit in need
Cockerl has been celebrating One Web Day for over 10 years. Websites that Cockerl has volunteered her services include Delta Phi Epsilon International Sorority, and several alumni organizations for Cornell University.
