Many of the female bloggers I follow have landed magazine interviews such as Nylon (Rumi, www.fashiontoast.com), received the opportunity to be a model for clothing stores like American Apparel (Karla, karlascloset.blogspot.com), and most recently a fashion blogger was scouted by a modeling agency in New York and just walked the runway for New York Fashion Week (Laurel, itslasfactory.blogspot.com). The best part about it I think is, they all start just like everyone else when it comes to blogging. They just post what they like to post and soon enough through time, it catches on and they’re getting offers from big advertising companies and tons of followers who are dying to be in their same position.

I'm in the process of building my list, so I have more traffic to show for my mission-driven efforts. Our goal is to support people in their local communities who want to "go green." We do this by providing information, a social network, and (coming this year) a supported, fun program to help people set and reach their greening goals. My vision is to have a national (international?!) hub with links to local sites that highlight eco-friendly businesses and organizations in their communities. Check us out at http://www.goforchange.com and tell us what you think. While you are there, sign up for our RSS and our mailing list. Thanks!!

It's gained a pretty good following in a short time. http://blog.angelaconnor.com/ I follow a blog by a former co-worker of mine who writes about Online Communities.

Two are in the limelight even more because one is sueing the other for defamation! Most influential bloggers of my country are male. And it's because they offer good useful content and advise that people can really use. And usually they are more straight-in-your face. For me, I don't really care who's influential or not...once I find a good useful blog, I rarely let it go! I make sure I visit at least weekly.

In the niche we blog in there are many women's blogs that are well read, mostly based on their success outside of blogging and using the blog as a marketing tool. We made a deliberate choice not to monetise our blog through traditional means such as standard banner or widget advertising services because we could not marry our integrity to endorsing a product we may not personally use.

In an industry where women hold only 16% of professional positions, we are scarce in the first place and rarely given to bragging in a room crowded with mostly male voices. http://www.zeldman.com/2007/04/19/women-in-web-design http://www.kottke.org/07/02/gender-diversity-at-web-conferences http://www.designobserver.com/archives/entry.html?id=20303 We are trying.
