Still looking for more women authored blogs |
Loading ...I’m so excited (in a good way)! Yeah, I know I’ve been kind of writing some broodier entries lately and I’m going to try and knock that off for a little bit (at least this entry anyway).
Since I haven’t exactly been inundated with links after making this post (man, ask for links and very few people send them, what’s up with that?) I decided to get proactive earlier today and fired off an email to Toby from Bloomberg Marketing.
Toby kindly wrote me back with a bunch of blogs authored by women that I should check out. Some of them I’ve already been reading, some of them I’ve seen before and will read more closely, and a few of them were brand new. Goodie, goodie!
I love it when people share. Rest assured, I will be sharing from this shared list as soon as I have enough time to go through them.
On my to-do list still is updating my blogroll again as well as the OPML files and Bloglines reading list. The total list for all sources is around 350, but I’m going to be dropping some folks who don’t post often enough or don’t post enough items of interest and replace with fresher, more regularly updated and more interesting bloggers and news sources. If someone reading this blog happens to be dropped, then don’t fret, if you start writing again regularly and/or writing about things I’m interested in then you’ll be back. I’ve got a couple sources I’ve dropped and readded several times.
So now I’ll make this request one last time before letting the subject die for awhile. If you happen to be a female blogger or know of a good female blogger (or group of female bloggers), then please use the comments and tell me about it. I’m looking to expand my list of female authored blogs because my current list is very male-dominated and I’d like to balance things out a bit more.
My primary interest is technology, developer, business, marketing and web-related material , but I’m willing to read other types of blogs as well. So please take a look at your blogroll and comment or trackback if you have a good blog to suggest. Feel free to suggest your own blog if the shoe fits.
The blogs and/or news sources in my daily reading list make up the bulk of what I write about, so I’m really looking for as much diversity as possible. And if I start linking to some of your stuff here somewhat regularly, then I will make a little icon to add with your links that looks like this:
Thank you to Mr. Snitch and Rhonda for their recommendations, as well as Nicole Simon for the trackback, whom I already was listening to her podcasts (she’s got a killer accent!). I’m thinking Nicole doesn’t really like my legend indicating the sex of the bloggers. That’s more for my own memory than for readers, so I might be removing that. Or perhaps I could find a more graceful way to indicate the authors of a blog (small picture, color, icon, etc). Oh, so many things, so little time.
Thank you for reading.

I’m a female blogger. Mostly about random stuff, though I sometimes cover the subjects you listed. It’s a rather eclectic, unthemed site.

Got here via blogcrowd and liked what i saw. Nice blog, TDavid! Drop by some time and visit. Definitely authored by a woman (me), although it’s nothing too serious. Just a fun way to pass a few fleeting moments a day…

I’m a female blogger too. I think most of my blogroll is feminin but I’ve never really thought about it that way before

Heya
Since you wanted to hear from female bloggers - ding, that’s me. I currently blog about — well, technology, mostly. Although coincidentally, I’m studying marketing at the moment, and am likely to be mentioning marketing stuff of interest now and then.

Hey I have a blog. I am a programmer but also taking a journalism class so my topics run the gamut.

Not sure if you’re still looking, but I’ve been working on a project called Blogs by Women. You can view the start page at: blogsbywomen.org. There’s a directory and an accompanying blog. We also have a free blog advertising exchange for women bloggers at our sister site thenewjane.com

I just started a new blog for women who love gadgets, and loves to dress them up. It’s an feminine version of Gizmodo or Engadget.
Techie Diva’s guide to gadgets is the name.
