Interestingly, according to surveys, women dominate in blogging.

Last March 2008, as my way of celebrating Women’s Month Celebration, I featured 4 women bloggers in Series #1 My Top 10 Best Women Bloggers with Influence blog entry. And I have featured diversity of powerful women in their own ways. However, I wasn’t able to find the other 6. So I decided to open a new topic in WordPress.com forum. Amazingly, it has called the attention of women bloggers, and many of them shows quality work.

That made me decide to make this a regular blog entry (monthly or twice in a month). The frequency will depend on how the readers will find it useful, or how busy I am.
