I saw what appeared to be a charge from you for your private forum. Evidently, I need glasses. I went back and looked at it and saw that there was an itsy bitsy minus sign in front of the dollar amount on my credit card statement. The statement mixes the credits and charges together. I'm sorry to inconvenience you and am embarrassed about my error. All best wishes, Deborah Hi Lynn,

I hope I remember to listen, because I'm sure it will be something else. I personally don't pay much attention to a person's sex when it comes to listening to their advice, I pay attention to the content and whether I think it will benefit my and what I'm doing. Of course, if I can get the information from a woman, that's great, but I'll listen to a man, too. :) Best of luck during your radio program “debate.” I hope I remember to listen, because I’m sure it will be something else.

For the women, I am curious: are there "womens sites" that you visit frequently - if so, what type of sites and why? Also, I would be curious to hear your thoughts (men and women alike) on events. BlogHer is a good example, which is not <em>closed</em> to men but is specifically a "womens event". Interestingly I dont hear any conflict about this from the men... though women may get their 'feathers ruffled' if we saw events that specifically excluded women. Your thoughts?

Yours in the one I had found the "Buy Me A Beer" plugin, which I have added to both of my blogs with the "coffee cup " instead, so now I'm back. I started blogging 4 months ago, and the only women's site that I frequent is Lorelle/WordPress. I have named her the "Queen of WordPress" (she's so knowledgeable), and am pleased to see a female so powerful in the world of blogging. I don't know that it matters if you're male or female in blogosphere, but most of the "six figure bloggers" are male. I think we women can change that, as we all have a lot to contribute to society,plus, we have such great maternal instincts, After all, it is said, behind every good man, is a great woman. So true. I'm not at all intimidated by the "manly" sites, however, the sites that are filled with so many "gadgets" and plugins irritate me (too busy), so I don't frequent those. I like a blog that has quality content, is easy to navigate, and gives me what I'm looking for. Whether the author is male or female, doesn't matter to me. Most of my comments, thus far, have come from males, and they've been very supportive, and some have even offered additional help to me (as I wrote that I am not real well versed in computer language). I appreciate that, and hope that whatever I write, can help both sexes. Congratulations on your upcoming interview. I bet you'll do great. Hi Lynn,

Sci-fi forums can be overwhelmed with fanboyz (of all ages!) who just want to talk about boobies 'n' stuff in every post and resent women for showing up and making them self-conscious about it. :D I wonder if the women who gravitate to the sites that support SAHMs and so on are mainly reacting to offline attacks and lacks of support from people around them who have set ideas about how women should earn livings or something?

Your insight regarding the comparison of dating (social networking) to business networking is accurate and real. Thank you for that. Although not involved directly as you and your associates online I must tell you that the Internet plays signficant roles in my business and personal life. What you do is a mystery to me to a great degree. I admire, respect and support you in your efforts. I commend you on your success and accomplishments in both your professional and personal life. It will be my pleasure to tune in to the show if at all possible and share my feedback. With very best regards I remain sincerely yours, Brad M. Kaplan ~ be the bean Hi Lynn,

Actually, your post started my brain to churning and I just had to make a post to my blog before I commented here. If you're a good detective, I'll bet you can find it, ha. You mentioned that you probably put yourself on the hotseat. If that's the case, I have no doubt you can handle it. I just got back into the Internet world toward the end of February. I'd been without a computer for about three years at that time. Selfstartersweeklytips was one of the very first websites I found that I considered extremely useful. That hasn't changed! When I get your weekly newsletter, I wait until I have lots of time on my hands before I open it. Tonite it took me on an adventure which lasted about three hours and cost me $16. I got off cheap tonight. Anyway, I feel, as you do, that a person in business should be judged by what they bring to the table regardless of their sex. In fact, it ocurred to me that most of the information I've found the most helpful in my quest for Internet marketing knowledge was from women. Besides you, I've bought Ros Gardners book, got "Web Design Mastery" from Shelley Lowery, have picked up a couple of things from Liz Tomey, and so on. Maybe some men feel intimidated or threatened in some way by women in business. I'm certainly not one of them.It seems to me that, often, women have a way of explaining things that is easier for me to understand. Keep up the good work! Duane P.S. If I'm dating a woman, I'm not likely to kiss her hand either. I'd probably have loftier goals. Hi Lynn,

This is a timely issue and one that is close to my heart. 15 months ago I attended World Internet Summit in Sydney. All the speakers had 3 things in common: They were outrageously successful, they all had great knowledge to share and they were all men. Not a single women speaker in 4 days. The interesting thing is there are so many successful women on the internet but they are not highly visible. We need role models, people we can relate to who are balancing the many roles that are unique to being a women and also creating success on the internet. So I’ve done something about it. I’m on a mission to find women who have created success on-line, learn from them and share their strategies. So this week is the launch of www.wonderfulwebwomen.com. I have found so many amazing women that I am interviewing one every week for 9 weeks and then every fortnight until I run out of inspiring women (which will never happen) - all calls are live and free. These are women who have just got in and done it, regardless of gender. But in a male dominated industry other women need to hear their stories - we all learn and get motivated by people who we can see are similar to ourselves. On the topic of networking, I have noticed something interesting. Wonderful Web Women hasn’t even launched officially and yet I have already received so many wonderful emails from women. Supportive and encouraging emails thanking me and giving me a genuine pat on the back. I have launched many websites targeted at different niches and have never had this experience before. There just seems to be something about the way that women network with women. We are genuinely encouraging and supporting. This is not to say that men are not supportive but women just seem to be more pro-active in encouraging. I enjoy your emails Lynn and see you as a wonderful role model too. I hope one day to share your story on Wonderful Web Women. Cheers Janet Hi Lynn
