More useful numbers, from the Guardian today:

ETA: mandragora1 adds that in the UK ensure people should ask the charity in question to treat the donation as Gift Aid so that the charity can claim an additional 28% by way of tax relief.

The Guardian Christmas charity appeal is now helping Concern provide emergency relief to the victims of the tsunami.

Listing all the ways to donate is a great idea, and you might also perhaps mention that if donating in the UK ensure that people ask the charity in question to treat the donation as Gift Aid so that the charity can claim an additional 28% by way of tax relief.

BTW, the Red Cross page that came up for me when I googled to search how to donate was at the following URL: http://www.bluepeter.redcross.org.uk/tsappeal/appeal.htm

I don't know if this has been set up via the Beeb's Blue Peter, but it is very easy to use.

I'm surfing along the yuletide friendslist and noticed this post... rahalia_cat has lots more information about relief efforts worldwide, and I've just linked them into a banner-meme post by damouse, a LJer from Penang, Malaysia, here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/damouse/74000.html?thread=731408#t731408).

Thanks for spreading the word!
