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.” As I was leaving, the group began discussing how to create a BlogHer Relief Network--I hope it happens. Tips from Sara 1.

I was networking weaving between the offline/online. Then I discovered the Internet and became the community builder for Arts Wire, an online network for artists that used a unix-based text conferencing system called Caucus. I used the BBS to post questions asked by people in a local face-to-face support group who were not online.

I put each woman's photo at the beginning of when she talks to mark each section. And also, because I've always been involved with nonprofits, which are about helping other people and trying to make the world a better place, and I've done a lot of career counseling, I'm always trying to give people advice and share information.
