JULY 29, 2006

The first whole group session of Day 2 of BlogHer was, “How Has Blogging Changed your World?” When Hurricane Katrina hit, she and her blogging partner decided to write a post asking their readers to post items in the comments section that they could donate to Katrina survivors. I consider food to be really political.

I wrote about the experience on BlogHer last week. As I mentioned, one of the Day of Service activities was a video blogging workshop for local nonprofits given by Jay Dedman and Ryanne Hodson. So, I thought, why not offer it up as a prize for video blogging workshop participants?

The last BlogHer Conference session I went to yesterday, before leaving early to go to a wedding, was about using blogging for Community Assistance. Your blog needs to be a place to “help the helper.” Work with traditional media and blogs to get the word out about your work. They also set up a wiki. Tips from Sara 1.

This week, as BlogHer , launched a special campaign with GlobalGiving to raise money for lifesaving programs for women around the world, here is an interview with Donna Callejon who is the Chief Operating Officer of Global Giving.

Photo by Life in Africa For this week's BlogHer Holiday Guide post, I needed to come up with a list of nonprofit organizations or causes that BlogHer readers may consider making a donation to as part of their year-end giving. I have two favorites: The Sharing Foundation which supports children in Cambodia and Creative Commons.
