Being a brand new blogger myself at that time, I realized that the people that originally inspired me to blog happened to be male.  After much thought, I expanded my wizard list to include my accessibility heroes as well.   In addition to reviewing my blogrole, I joined forces with some bloggers to explore the question so well asked by Molly at SXSW 2005, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/2005.sxsw.com\/interactive\/conference\/panels\/?action=show&#038;id=IAP0053\">Where are the Women of Web Design<\/a>&#8220;?<\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netsquared.org\/conference\/\">NetSquared 2006<\/a>, I had the opportunity to hear Elisa Camahort, co-founder, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogher.org\/\">BlogHer<\/a>.  She showed me exactly where the women bloggers are!  And I encourage you to head to BlogHer to register yourself, if you are a female blogger, or register a female blogger that inspires you!<\/p>\n<p>So what is the portrait of the new internet storyteller?  According to recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewinternet.org\/PPF\/r\/186\/report_display.asp\">Pew\/Internet research on bloggers<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The blogging population is young, evenly split between women and men, and racially diverse.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The most distinguishing characteristic of bloggers is their youth.  More than half (54%) of bloggers are under the age of 30.  Like the internet population in general, however bloggers are evenly divided between men and women.<\/li>\n<li>\nAnother distinguishing characteristic is that bloggers are less likely to be white than the general internet population.  Sixty percent of bloggers are white, 11% are African American, 19% English-speaking Hispanic and 10% identify as some other race.  By contrast, 74% of internet users are white, 9% are African American, 11% are English-speaking Hispanic and 6% identify as some other race.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Which brings me to my newest goal to help achieve <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/International\/\">internationalization<\/a> where the motto is:  &#8220;Making the World Wide Web truly world wide!&#8221;  Onward!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year, a brilliant blogger pointed out that my blogrole was 100% male.
