Background information
Blogs is something which can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or be run using blog software, or on regular web hosting services. This activity is becoming popular and very viable vehicle for information in Tanzania.
After a slow start (when bloggers where easily identified) late 1990s and early 2000, blogging is rapidly gaining popularity in Tanzania. Blog usage spread before last general election (political pundits targeting youth) and the years following, being further popularized by being independent.
Most of the blogging in Tanzania is usually done by a single individual and occasionally of a small group and posts written are not professionally edited.
Majorities of the blogs are interactive; allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via GUI widgets on the blogs, and it is this interactivity blogging can be seen as a form of social networking.
A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important contribution to the popularity of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (art blogs), photographs (photo blogs), videos (video blogs or "vlogs"), music (MP3 blogs), and audio (podcasts).
Blogs can be a medium of news dissemination. Though often seen as partisan gossips, bloggers sometimes lead the way in bringing key information to public light, with mainstream media having to follow their lead. More often, however, news blogs tend to react to material already published by the mainstream media. For that matter blogs are tools for outreach and opinion forming.
In 2009 when U.S. President Barrack Obama acknowledged the emerging influence of blogging upon society he said:"if the direction of the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put stories in context, then what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void but not a lot of mutual understanding”, and you can sense that happening in the country, hence this TMF intervention.
What are the plans?
There will a gathering at Dodoma .This gathering intends to create a group of bloggers from news starved regions to bridge gap and help main stream to get something for the nation. 
We see blogging as a means of "getting around the filter" while pushing messages directly to the public. 
Although some critics worry that bloggers respect neither copyright nor the role of the mass media in presenting society with credible news, our bloggers, (particularly as we intend to engaged theme in participatory journalism) they will differentiate themselves by following the rules in news gathering and dissemination while respecting human values.

That means they will be trained to  adopt Blogger's Code of Conduct as proposed by Tim O'Reilly :
-Take responsibility not just for their own words, but for the comments they allow on their blogs.  
-Label their tolerance level for abusive comments.
-Consider eliminating anonymous comments.  
-Ignore the trolls.
-Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.  
-If they know someone who is behaving badly, they had to tell him or her 
-Not to say anything online that you wouldn't say in person. ETC ETC ETC
And these are participants:... Usssshhhh I cant mention them now
