Abstract: The Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) is an international consortium of about 30 optical observatories and 2 radio observatories devoted to blazar monitoring during optical and multifrequency campaigns. The dispersion in longitude of the WEBT members allows them to obtain dense and quasi-continuous light curves, minimizing gaps due to Earth rotation. A few results from the BL Lac 2000 WEBT campaign are briefly presented here.
