There are a few people out there who don’t care for the term Blogosphere and I see why, but after a few failed-due-to-lack-of-interest attempts at blogging, the time has come for me to join the Blogosphere. Having decided last night to start a blog, I was quite delighted by the timing of this post “Utne on our magnificent, gloriously disordered feminist blogosphere” over at Hugo Schwyzer’s blog, mostly because 3 of the 4 blogs listed (Feministing, Feministe, and Pandagon, followed closely by Hugo Schwyzer, Bitch Ph.D., Garance Franka-Ruta) were the first blogs I ever actually followed with any regularity. Those listed on my blogroll* soon followed, as well as a passle of others not listed.
Overall my goal with this blog is a combination of vain personal blogging (are you sure you don’t want to see my vacation photos?! like, really, totally sure?! They’re totally exciting!) and a place to explore my philosophical, sociological, *ogical ideas. I hope to see them on paper someday, but we’ll see if that ever actually works out. For the moment, I’m content to blab on the internet.
*My blogroll is restricted to the “classics” as I call them, meaning the blogs that first got me started. The absence of a blog doesn’t say anything about its quality. For a highly excellent and comprehensive feminism-related blogroll, have a gander at the feministing.com blogroll. It is absolutely superb.
