Why Every Woman Should Know How Her Blog Works or,Why Women are still marginalized.

November 7, 2011

This Saturday, I attended WordCamp Philly at beautiful Alter Hall, which is a conference for people who hate spending time outdoors. Also it’s for people who enjoy using WordPress to build their website. (Like me! This site is built with WordPress! Also with sweat and tears.) See?  Here I am in my natural habitat:   There were four tracks, one for beginner users, one for intermediate, one for WordPress developers, and one for WordPress designers.  I consider myself intermediate, maybe at the edge ...

Wearing engagement rings to interviews

August 23, 2011

Suzanne posted a link from Huffpo advising women not to wear engagement rings to interviews. To which I said, And trust me, I’ve interviewed A LOT over the past year.

Or just another way to give women anxiety about how they present themselves in the ...
