The fourth blogger in this run of the Have Fun, Do Good guest post series is the delicious Meg Worden (I say delicious because I love her e-cookbook, Salad Alchemy). Learning how to tell a personal story is a powerful tool for healing. Or more accurately, learning that we can tell our own story.

Many blogHers, like Rebeca at the Razoo blog , went red on Thursday as part of Free Burma: International Bloggers Day.    Learn more about it here or the environmental risks here.   But, on Friday, my blog turned from red to pink!    Then I saw that Michelle Martin is also participating.

Flickr Photo from Avylavitra Several weeks ago I wrote a post on BlogHer about Foko Madagascar and Joan Razafimharo , an amazing blogger, social change activist, and woman working in Madagascar and other parts of the world. If you read Joan's blog or Foko, you will learn that Madagascar is a very poor country.

I did an interview with Michael back in May, 2005 and it is just fascinating to learn about his content gathering process. I probably should stop, but if you want to focus on what women are blogging about in the nonprofit space, check out the blogher ngo/npo blogroll.

You don't necessarily see women keynote at technology conferences (well accept for women focused technology conferences like blogher ), but Geoff was trying hard ensure a gender balanced program and succeeded. more like the Berkman Center Thursday evening blogger meetups I used to attend from 2005-2007. This is just a sampling.

Last week, there was a useful exchange on the NTEN Affinity group for Nonprofit Bloggers around the question "What metrics do you use to measure success for your blog?" I'm remembering something that I heard Robert Scobel say at last year's Global s Summit in London. " What about out-bound and in-bound links?

Anne Jackson who writes the Flower Dust raised $1800 of it in 18 hours, $800 in 15 minutes Compassion International's Global Food Crisis. So, I thought it would be great to interview her and learn why she was successful. In February, I was asked to go to Uganda with 15 other bloggers through Compassion International.

So when I was asked to do this panel and learned what this conference was about, I thought, "Well, I should have them come and tell their stories to you." Like Alli said, I wasn't taking care of myself as an activist, and I wanted to learn about the world that I was living in. What I do is, I write for several blogs, as she mentioned.
