July 18 - 20th saw the convergence of many thousands of women (and men) in San Francisco for the annual BlogHer conference. BlogHer, as you probably know, provides "opportunities for women who blog to pursue exposure, education, community and economic empowerment."

Meg Busse, Director of the Non-Profit Career Transitions Program for Idealist explains why you need to know what you're talking about, make it catchy, scour the social networks, and at least try to make personal contact with people if you want a job in the non-profit sector. Also, she is awesome.

We've got a new Net Tuesday group forming in Austin organized by TechSoup's Billy Bicket.  It's our second Net Tuesday in the Lone Star State (the other one is in Houston). 

If you'd like to be a co-organizer, speaker or member, go to the Austin NetSquared Meetup group and/or email billybicket@yahoo.com.

The last entry took a look at how South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau (SYFAB) provide funding information to their service users and how this could be improved by taking some of this information online. SYFAB are also keen to look at how they can encourage service users to provide some of their own insights to create a more "rounded" information service.
