One method, if it can really be given that much credit, I have been using is uPromise. When you make purchases starting from their web site, a percentage is given back to the college fund. Most stores do this, but not all. So if you are interested in helping out and shop online already, you can use this guest link. You don't even have to join uPromise!
Thanks.

Oh, and it's 2011. How did that happen?

I don't have a child (as you know. :)) but I feel like if I did I would want to start saving as soon as possible. College prices seem to only be getting more expensive and it can't hurt to have as much saved as possible. Even if your kid does end up getting scholarships or grants then at least you'll have money saved for anything those may not cover, or you'll just have money saved for a rainy day!
@Briel: I agree completely. I've been thinking about it since before he was born/when he was born, but thinking about something and making it happen, as you know, are two very different things. I have tried my best, and I will probably keep ramping up my efforts these last few years before the time comes. From my own experiences, I know not to count on financial aid, no matter how fantastic a student/athlete/community builder you are. Grants and scholarships would be nice, but being prepared and having peace of mind is better for me. :)
