Blogging To The Choir
From PressThink comes anticipation of the BlogHer Conference. It's a great idea to have the gathering, but the most telling thing I heard about women and blogs came recently when a small group of acquaintances was chatting, and the mention of blogs came up. A very smart woman who is ten years my junior and has spent all her adult life in the office world and has traveled and taken time to get her MBA tilted her head to one side and asked us, "What is a blog, anyway?"
The real work won't be at some conference, but in everyday life, where many still have no idea what a blog is for. And many who are steeped in blog culture are completely unaware that they don't even exist to people who still live in a world devoid of blogs. We're not there yet, ladies. But, carry on. It's all good.
