Birth Announcement

The Missus (aka the Rogue Librarian) has been laboring for some time on a new community site. Today it launched.

Things I Learned the Hard Way is a place where women can share life lessons about home, family, friendship and work. Our contributors write well and they want to share their experience with others.

The new site is a place for women of different ages, situations, and life experiences to share hard-won knowledge, from the maternal to the Machiavellian (how do some female bosses use “advice” and “compliments” to keep female employees down?), the silly to the sublime. Participation is encouraged; writers are sought.

    [...] We have been woefully neglecting this blog, but a quick visit to Jeffrey Zeldman’s blog garnered some excitement, for Mr. Zeldman noted that his wife has a blog. Engagingly entitled “Things I learned the Hard Way” — Female Folk Wisdom for Life, Love, Work and Play — it’s also engagingly written; that is, it’s a good read. One comes away from it entertained, revived and with some useful information. Enjoy. The only question was: where to file this post. Art? Beauty? Ah, Social Stuff, although it’s closer to Art. So we’ll put it in Beauty. <grin> [...]

    Hmmm, looks good, I wonder if there is a male equivalent site anywhere? I think men do this at the golf course though :-)

Speak up!
