You've downloaded Second Life. You've registered. You've *maybe* dressed your avatar. Now what? If you haven't already, you'll be receiving a 'group invitation' from ME, Queen Tureaud, to join "BlogHer in Second Life '08 REACH!" The notice will come to your avatar in Second Life. You need to join this group in order to be able to attend conference sessions and fun.

It's true. This week BlogHer Co-Founder Elisa Camahort announced the Community Keynote selections for BlogHer '08 in San Francisco, and we're certainly not going to allow our Second Life attendees to just "watch" all the fun. The Second Life version of this year's BlogHer conference will participate in the First Ever "Community Keynote" event.
