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 want to hear real people’s stories and see photos of the town they are giving to, so she posted stories and had a Flickr photo stream. Tips from Sara 1.

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.

I wrote about the experience on BlogHer last week. Well, less than 24 hours after the camera of was in the hands of the activists from Common Knowledge, I received this comment on the Flickr photo of my camera from Karen Apricot. You never know exactly what will happen with the camera after you leave - and just hope for the best.
