This is only the second annual conference of the premier (well ok, only so far) conference just for African-American bloggers: Blogging While Brown. This year, it’s bigger, badder and blacker, ‘specially since I’m going. There are some major bloggers coming — including some blogs that represent some of the largest communities you can find online.

I’ll be speaking on 2 panels: The first is with Naoko McCracken of Automattic (producer of WordPress) on how to use the latest tech techniques to power blog with a focus on mobile blogging, plugins, iPhone apps, ways to connect WordPress with other social networking apps, and all that jazz. The second is:

Panel — Netroots in Action

Panelists will discuss how social media tools can be used to affect changes in policy, improve communities, and influence elections.

Moderator: Carmen Dixon Rosenzweig, www.allaboutrace.com

Panelists: Megan Tady, www.freepress.net
