We had a very enthusiastic turnout for the June BMPR which featured information on blogging along with a preview of the National Council of La Raza 2010 National Convention. Christian Lozano gave us a preview and called for volunteers to come out and teach some social media, record some interviews and just help out any way you can. BMPR is the official social media sponsor of the 2010 National Convention.
Jason Teitelman and Bill Brown of Blog Catalog came out to share their tips on maintaining a blog along with some of the technical aspects of blogging. You can view their presentation right here.

Pamela Price then joined us to share how she turned her passion for victory gardens into the very popular and successful blog, “Red, White & Grew.” Pamela admitted she was not the most technologically savvy (her notes were on a steno pad), but she offered valuable insight on how the lack of Nan Palmero-like tech knowledge should not keep one from blogging what they feel passionate about.
Our final blogger was the vivacious Dawn Cole, she of the popular and hilarious “Not Going Postal.” She overcame her nervousness about speaking to a room full of social media knuckleheads and did a hilarious job, aided by the following presentation:
