I've been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of responses, so it's still incomplete. While I will be updating this list repeatedly, if I've missed your post, you can email or post a comment. Also, note that it's fine to post after the 20th.
Sagan's wife and collaborator Ann Druyan has started off her new blog today with the post Ten Times Around The Sun Without Carl, while his son Nick Sagan has posted his memories of his dad and his official blog-a-thon welcome following his posts here, here, here, and here. And Louis Friedman, who along with Sagan was one of the founders of the Planetary Society, has posted his memories of Sagan at the Planetary Society Blog.
The new website Celebrating Sagan has gathered a staggering amount of material. It's focused on user contributions, which may be useful if you don't have a blog but have something to say.
The blog-a-thon has been covered at The Ithaca Journal, Cornell's Chronicle Online, MSNBC, USA Today, The Syracuse Post-Standard, and China News Daily.
I've posted my own memories of Stephen Jay Gould.
A big thanks to everybody who participated! Also, thanks to Hell on Frisco Bay for providing the inspiration and model for this blog-a-thon, with a blog-a-thon for the centennial of the birth of Warner Bros. animator Friz Freleng here and here.

Awesome! Thanks for doing this, Joel.
Thanks for this, you can add my blog too: qatarskeptic.blogspot.com
I've talked to a couple of astronomers here in Qatar and both of them had read Carl's work as well!
Thanks for the list, you may add my humble link if time permits:
http://pinstripebindi.vox.com/library/post/carl-sagan-blogathon.html
Thanks for taking the time to suggest this and compile and update the list. I can tell I won't be getting any work done today.
By the way, here's link to the actual blog-a-thon post: http://khazell1.blogspot.com/2006/12/remembering-carl-sagan.html.
I've edited the post you linked in the meta to have a link to today's entry, that way people can find it without your having to update the list unless you have a moment to do so.
Thanks again.
A wonderful compilation of tributes and reminiscences. Well done, and highly worthwhile!
Thanks for putting it all together.
You may also wish to add Rebecca @ Memoirs of a Skepchick. (My own thoughts appear in the comment thread.) If this entry is already in the list, I apologize for overlooking it.
Missed getting included myself; here's my own little memoir.
Thanks for putting this together! What a great tribute.
Here's my Carl Sagan Memorial Blog-a-Thon Post.
Joel
Great idea for a blog-a-thon. It's amazing to see how many bloggers got inspired by Sagan.
We've posted our Five Reasons to Remember Carl Sagan and linked it to this post.
Thanks for leading this!
Thanks for doing this Joel, Sagan was a great writer that people should continue to read.
My post in Flemish/Dutch:
http://sereniteit.wordpress.com/2006/12/19/carl-sagan-blogathon/
Please add my blog to your list:

Thanks, Joel
My entry is here.

My entry is here, humble as it is. Thanks so much for doing this!
What a wonderful idea, thanks for doing this. I added a memory of Carl from 1980 in my journal here:
http://joedecker.livejournal.com/903381.html
Here's my contribution:
http://kipesquire.powerblogs.com/posts/1166582798.shtml
Here is my followup post on the affect Carl had on me:
http://www.tobiasbuckell.com/2006/12/20/carl-sagan/
I also participated and commented but didn't make it to the list. Celebrating Sagan at Fast Times @ Homeschool High
My contribution:
Carl Sagan, promoter of skepticism and wonder (a review of Sagan's book The Demon Haunted World).
I wrote about our dear Sagan.

I sent my link last night, but it must have gotten lost in the ether. Here's my entry in the blogathon:
Carl Sagan
Three of the "Spanish" posts are in Portuguese.
This is fantastic and you can add my post:

Here's my contribution to the blogathon:
http://perceivingwholes.blogspot.com/2006/12/tribute-to-carl-sagan.html
I don't have much to say. But nevertheless. What little I've got can be found here.
Thank you so much for pulling all this together Joel!
I've added my rambling thoughts on Sagan here: http://larae.net/2006/12/carl-sagan.html
My entry is here.
I think this is a fantastic project (I heard about it via it appearing number 2 on Technorati), a brilliant way to honour the memory of one our species brightest minds.
My small contribution: http://leongreen.wordpress.com/2006/12/20/carl-sagan-memorial-blog-a-thon/
My wee contribution:
http://astropoet.livejournal.com/242037.html
I just wanted to add my contribution to the big list. I'm new to your blog, but thought this was a great idea and couldn't pass it up. My post is here. Thanks!
-Jared
I joined the party:
What Carl Sagan means to me
Thanks for making this happen.
Cheers,
- Bob
Thanks for organizing this, Joel. I just have a tiny complaint: my Que Treta! blog is in Portuguese, not in Spanish. I guess it's all the same to you guys, but for us it makes a difference :)
Best wishes
Participant of Carl Sagan blog-a-thon. http://www.kentuckymountaingirlnes.com
Add Cocktail Party Physics to the list:
http://www.twistedphysics.typepad.com/cocktail_party_physics/2006/12/casting_out_the.html
Sorry - finger-tied!
http://www.kentuckymountaingirlnews.com
Excellent idea, I also posted how Dr. Sagan affected all of us.
I have a post to contribute to the blog-a-thon at my blog: B and B.
Thanks for putting this together!
My little contribution:

Thanks for doing this - my post can be found here: Remembering Carl Sagan
Hi, add my post to list
Carl Sagan vive, in spanish.
Greetings
What a wonderful idea for a blog and for a blog-a-thon, Joel! One of my biggest obsessions prior to my current one of film was "amateur" astronomy, and Sagan was an unquantifiable influence on my interest in it. I wish I had time to contribute with a post merging the two interests (perhaps on Contact, which I've long been wanting to revisit) today. But I'm tickled to pieces that my Friz Freleng tribute earlier this year in some small way helped to inspire this outpouring of wonderful writing on another very worthy man.
And here's one more Sagan tribute:
http://flyingsinger.blogspot.com/2006/12/remembering-carl-sagan.html
Thanks!
Bruce
One more...
http://www.physicsforums.com/blog/2006/12/20/carl-sagan-still-a-strong-voice/
This is so great, and I was delighted to participate.
Thank you for creating the opportunity to celebrate Dr. Sagan's substantial contributions to science and humanity.
Here is my unworthy contribution:
20 years since Sagan
Here is My small offering to the Carl Sagan blogathon
Mine might be one of the lamest contributions to the Sagan blog-o-thon, but at least I did get it in on the correct day.
http://johnmckay.blogspot.com/2006/12/carl-sagan-cat-post-today-is-tenth.html
Not yet bill yuns and bill yuns, but this is only ten years. Let's think ahead to greater orders of magnitude.
My only post yesterday was my contribution to this blog-a-thon.
The Cornell Mushroom Blog chimed in too:
http://hosts.cce.cornell.edu/mushroom_blog/?p=127
Great effort. Just sent you a mail on this regard.
Hey there,
Don't know if I'm too late, but here's my blog post about Carl Sagan: http://erdnase2000.livejournal.com/29672.html
Thanks for reminding me of the anniversary of his death. It almost slipped by in the holiday rush, and that would have been horrible.
My son was named after Carl, and was born only a few weeks before his death.
Regards,
Michael

Thanks!
A couple more entries in French :
one from Culture des futurs
one from the scientific culture blog at the Agence Science-Presse
Okay, it's not exactly a blog, but it is a song written about/inspired by the great man:
Carl Sagan, by the Boneless Children Foundation.

Here's my blog entry on Carl Sagan:
http://frankwu.livejournal.com/8920.html
Hi, I saw your post about the blogathon and I wrote a small tribute post to Sagan. I'm from Guayaquil, Ecuador. Thanks for this oportunity to write about a great man.
Heres's the link (the post's in spanish).

Bandwagoned! My post for the blog-o-thon.
Here's mine (in Portuguese)
http://olho-e-meio.blogspot.com/2006/12/bili.html
I posted here: http://www.quartzcity.net/2006/12/22/whatever-the-reason-youre-on-mars-im-glad-youre-there-and-i-wish-i-was-with-you/
My contribution among the veritable army of Sagan fans:
http://complicatedvisionary.blogspot.com/2006/12/after-ten-years-tribute-to-carl-sagan.html
I would be honoured if you could add my blog post to this list.
I posted a brief note and some pictures on my new (wordpress) blog.
I thought you would like to read comments from a theist who appreciated aspects of Sagans intellect:
http://togetheroneservant.blogspot.com/2006/11/unvolution-of-humankind.html
Just wanted to post this here - a podcast The Stuff of the Cosmos to go with the blog post Carl Sagan and the Stuff of the Cosmos I wrote a few days earlier. Thank you, Joel and everyone, for doing this.
I am sorry we can to this blog late. Carl was a great man and made and impact on people lives.
It is easy to forget their impact after so many years but it was joy to be reminded by reading this blog.
Thanks again for the reminder.
Check out the new finding of the Hubble Telescope. I just create my own report (PDF) on the Hubble .. check it out
Hubble Telescope
I sent an email, but I'm not sure that you noticed it.
I put up a post at http://stlouisskepticalsociety.blogspot.com/2007/12/weight-of-legacy.html .
Wow, sorry. Didn't notice that this was last year's. Silly me.
This is amazing! Thanks to this, I will have plenty of reading material over the holidays. Below are my url and links to blogs I did for this event.
Peace, love and all that other good stuff…Tim
