BlogDay is focused on getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. You are suppose to notify the bloggers, write a brief description of their blogs, and tag your post with BlogDay2007.

Are "the best" or "most influential" lists of bloggers a good thing or a bad thing? But in the last month, I've come across three "best of" type women blogger lists. In a recent post on Blogher, Virginia DeBolt mentions the list titled 100 Awesome Webmaster Blogs by and for Women by Jimmy Atkinson.

So, my first steps into social media were logging onto a BBS for disability rights and support groups called Project Enable back in 1989 via Fidonet. I used the BBS to post questions asked by people in a local face-to-face support group who were not online. I aggregated web sites for dance groups, dance companies, etc.
