My Top 10 Best Women Bloggers with Influence

March 23, 2008 · 34 Comments

As I promised, this March, I would talk about more on women struggles, issues, ups and downs, and above all unnoticed successes. I am maybe one of the newest face in the blogosphere. For almost two months of blogging here in wordpress, I find how fantastic and exiciting it is. I always have the love of writing. I usually write some stuff on what I think of the issues today in my diary. However, I ended with laziness using my hand in writing. Then I found blogging as part of the online communication revolution something that fits my interest. It all started there. Then I have this blog, and it feels like home, with plenty of neighbours around saying hi’s and hello’s.

 

I visit blogs of people I don’t know. I stop to where I find it cool, lessons rich, captivating, and worthy. I also started interacting with their authors to become my guestbloggers. And let me see where it takes me in this blog world.

For the meantime, amongst the million of good women bloggers around, I have chosen them as my top 10 women favourites. The criteria are my personal criteria. I visit these blogs always because they have very good writing styles, they touched my life by their views, they taught me significant things, they make me cry and laugh, and they inspire me to continue blogging and become one of them.

 

Unique Muslimah

unique muslimahShe is one of the first blogger I added into my blogroll. She kept her personal profile hidden. But she tells her life stories through her blog. She writes, with creativeness and splendor, her views on Muslimah, practices, culture, and how she grow with her life’s journey. She loves photography. She writes issues on women’s rights, analyzing cultures, and other. She touched my life as a Muslim woman, makes me cry and laugh, and inspires me to keep blogging and making my blog better… [more about Unique Muslimah blog]

Lorelle on WordPress (Lorelle VanFossen)

LorelleWhen I first signed up into wordpress, I bumped into Lorelle’s blog whilst looking for tips how to start my blog. My curiosity on blogging started a year ago, when my organization thinks that blogging is now the hype. Then, only after a year, I started a personal one. And Lorelle played a major part of how I come up with this small and simple blog. She got plenty of useful tips, tricks, and suggestions. Plus, she writes with clarity, a full-blooded blogger!… [more about Lorelle on WordPress blog]

 

Shahrzad

shahrzadBlogwalking helps me a lot to discover talents of people around the globe. I first saw her blog post at Empowered Muslim Youth. She is one of the authors. She has a blog on Love Sells. I like it very much that I included her in my blogroll. She is an Iranian, talks about women issues, world affairs, and about her beloved country, Iran. Quoted her on what does it mean for a free eastern women, it says, “They are pure, open mind, well educated and believer. They love to read books as much as they are wise and they know what they want. They grow up everyday to get wisdom of life and beyond. And they are still mysterious and feminine.”… [more about Shahrzad blog] 

Susan Loone

susanShe is Malaysian, but lives in Bangkok. Her blog speaks about the issues in Malaysia, the racist policies and repressive laws, in which outsiders like me doesn’t know about it until I have read her blog. I have felt her bravery, her passion, and her love to her country. Personally, I like to visit Malaysia one day. My father always speaks about how nice the place is. I also have Malay friends. I like the way how she points out the problems in her country at the same time how to solve it. She did it for the love of her country. Her blog inspires me, I hope someday, to build one blog for youth in Mindanao… [more about Susan Loone blog]

So far, for two months blogging, these are the women I have high regards with on blogging. Not only as a blogger, but also women of different races, religions, and colours that can bring women to empowerment. Because they themselves are empowered in their own ways, they show how much they love and know themselves, and they are here online to make a change in this world.

P.S.

I am still in search for the other 6 women bloggers with influence. I still only have a week to go to find the other 6. I need your help.

 

Do you know women bloggers that you think blogs well? Please recommend them to me to feature them this month.

    Hi Baikong,

    I mam really glad that you have this kind of skills, I know it’s easy for you but for me, perhaps, to many, “mahirap”

    I am very much interested to learn how to use this technology cause its a great opportunity for me to express, the sentiments, of the Bangsamoro youth to “some” of our leaders who are not very attentive to some real issues and concerns affecting the Moro youth.

    Thanks Baikong. Hope to hear from you soon.

    Hi Lorelle – Yes, i will take your suggestions seriously, and hopefully for those reading my blog can find it useful, too. :-)

    Hi Celeste – How are you? Are you in Dubai now?

    Rasul – Blogging is very easy, but the question is how and when do we start it. Personally, I want to expand my blogging in a more specific issue like you said about Moro youth sentiments. Yes, I found it a very effective way to reach our leaders but it also needs planning and focusing is I/we would start one. Someday, if given a chance or anybody around like BDA, if possible can sponsor a skills training on communications, I would be very glad to impart my skills on media and communications to Moro youth and forming a body and contributors for an advocacy tool like Online communications (e.g. a blog like this but focused more on a specific issue and objectives. But promise, blogging is easy and very fun! :-)

    Thanks Baikong,

    I know…It took me 2 hours to make “kalikot” of this technology and somehow I learned few things about it…

    Maybe you can start lobbying this to a man who is very close to you, I know he can do something about this.

    Then, the rest is a story to tell.

    Hello, I am just getting the feel for blogging. I have not been very personal on my site- maybe I’m not sure if this is allowed. So if any of you experienced women have the time to give me some suggestions, i would like it very much!
