Estrogen Week Maintenance Note

As y'all know, I've technically forgone Women in Blogging Week on Pen-Elayne, because I've decided to commemmorate it in March, Women's History Month. Starting next week I'll be throwing this blog open to discussion about the many, many women currently on the "Gals in Waiting" section of my Bloglines blogroll, in preparation for me adding them onto my regular blog-reading list (and sidebar). I've just gone through that section, which I've been using as a bookmark-holder, and made sure all the blogs in it are current and have working RSS feeds. Be warned, between News+Views Gals, Kultcha Gals and gals in the Liberal Coalition, my daily perusal now includes 80 female bloggers, and that's not even including the women involved in Dynamic Duo and Group blogs! So I'm not hurting for more daily blog-reading, but I don't think it's fair to new(-to-me) bloggers if they get passed over, particularly if they're highly recommended from y'all. But I wanted to jump the gun a bit on Estrogen Month because Kathy from NJ (no, not this Kathy, another one) said such lovely things about me and has added me to her sidebar, so I've reciprocated and added Liberty Street, a blog well worth your time.

Update 1: Still tinkering with and adding to the Gals in Waiting bookmarked sites, including supplementing it with some African Women Blogging sites gathered by Owukori on the right-hand sidebar of Black Looks...

Update 2: And yet more additions; this Estrogen/Women Bloggers Week has been a real godsend for my bookmarks! And dang, I just found out CE Petro from Thoughts of an Average Women had me blogrolled, so she's also moved up from Gals in Waiting to News+Views Gals. Just a reminder for anyone on my GIW list (particularly those with asterisks next to their names), if you already have me on your blogroll please let me know. Since I pretty much read blogs via their syndicated feeds (it's the only way to get through all my subscriptions in my limited leisure time) I don't usually go to your actual sites so there's no way for me to know I'm on your radar unless you tell me. :)
