The last BlogHer Conference session I went to yesterday, before leaving early to go to a wedding, was about using blogging for Community Assistance. People wanted to see how her town looked before, as well as after the hurricane. As I was leaving, the group began discussing how to create a BlogHer Relief Network--I hope it happens.

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 have friends all over the world,” she said smiling.
