Official BlogHer Site: BlogHer.orgThis flagship event is open to all bloggers (yes, including men and beginners) nterested in enhancing their online exposure, learning the latest best practices in blogging, networking with other bloggers, and specifically cultivating the female blogging community.
BlogHer Conference ‘05 will provide an open, inclusive forum to:
1. Discuss the role of women within the larger blog community
2. Examine the developing (and debatable) code of blogging ethics
3. Discover how blogging is shrinking the world and amplifying the voices of women worldwide
A few bloggers have come together and have offered to sponsor those who would like to attend but are unable to afford the registration fee and/or accommodation.
Blogerships are available for those who commit to some live blogging - they are looking for bloggers who can blog the opening and closing in languages other than English and everything in between.
Wouldn’t it be good if we could get a KBW member there to blog this in Kiswahili or any of our other languages? Maitha? There other Kiswahili bloggers out there Ndesanjo? Zainub? Anyone…?

This is great MJY…I think the swahili blogger idea is great,(my swa is seriously lacking) Goodluck, and i would also be interested in supporting the Kenyan bloggers who decide to go (A small contribution for here and there expenses they might have)lmk!
thats a great idea. id love to see one in kikuyu as well. kenya’s newer generation is losing out on all the great languages that we have. They need to be brought back to life.
Great idea MJY - I am seriously lacking in the Swa department, so anyone who gets to go would have my support - and any mchango I wouldnt be averse to. Keep up the good work gal.
bibi nataka kuksalimia. kuona vile unaendelea na maisha na kuuliza watoto wako aje huko ulaya?
Mama JunkYard Says: LMAO..were you talking to me? I don’t mind being ‘bibi’ lakini you never told me about watoto…..
Wazo zuri sana mama MJY. nitapenda kufanya hivyo kama nitapatiwa fursa hiyo. Niko tayari kuwakomboa wanawake wenzangu wakati wowote na kwa lolote, tafadhali endelea kuwasiliana nami.
Na jina langu ni Zainab sio Zainub
Great idea, mama JY, hata mimi napenda kufanya hivyo. kama ukinisaidia kupata taarifa za mkutano huu wa kwanza na wa aina yake duniani, nitapenda kuelimisha jamii na kuwajasirisha wanawake katika ulimwengu wa Sayansi na Teknolojia hii ya mtandao.
