Chapel Hill is a blog-friendly place...

As I read other people's blogs, especially about this issue of whether enough women blog or feel welcome by men in the blogging world, I do have to say that the male bloggers I have met in Chapel Hill have been extremely friendly and welcoming. The weekly Chapel Hill meet-up is mostly men, yet I have not felt as if I should not be there or that my voice was not valued. In fact, one of the young men (he will remain nameless until I ask his permission), actually bragged last week about how smart his girlfriend is and what a great and influential blogger she is. She was not there to hear his compliments, but I thought that it was cool for him to gush like that about her.
