I have a new blog!
Ok, I know I’ve really sucked with posting here over the last 1-2 years. (I can’t believe I just typed YEARS.) Anyway, I’m not ever planning on getting rid of my blog here on Xanga, but I do have a new blog I would love you to check out. It’s called Soldiers in Petticoats, and it’s my first foray into feminist blogging.
It began with a project for school. The director of the women’s studies unit wanted to help me move toward my goal of working with feminism, writing, and social media as a career (it’s also what my Women, Writing, & Society degree is all about). He (yes, he!) offered to have me write a blog on my college’s women’s studies website, which I was thrilled about. Unfortunately they are just moving way too slow for me, so I went out and did it on my own. They may link to my posts later, if they ever get their act together. In the meantime, I feel like I’m actually doing the stuff I want to be doing. I’m even going to go self-hosted with the site so I can have control over all the features. This will give me a lot of great experience in building *real* blogs, not just using templates.
In Soldiers in Petticoats, I mainly write about feminist issues that I see going on (and am learning about in school), and relate them with pop culture. Please check it out and help me get it going! Feel free to invite others to read it if you think they will like it. You can subscribe via RSS, or you can just sign up to be emailed when I post new entries.
I also have a page for my blog on Facebook, so if you “Like” the page, you can get updates on new posts that way too.
