It’s been a great year. I almost miss the intensity of March-April when the primaries were going crazy, but it’s all been fun, the Barbies, the Berks, the clickable graphics, the whole thing. Thanks for doing this!

Ann, I hope you find the continued enthusiasm, time, and will to keep this going. It’s my favorite academic-authored blog, and I tell people so all the time.

Happy New Year!

I’ve just discovered you… I was looking for tips on repairing a vintage doll (it’s a 1940′s early plastic and it smells like a damned soul…it’s approaching the nothing to lose stage so any tips are welcome)…

Anyway, what a great blog, Historiann! I can’t wait to take a leisurely scroll through the archives. Fascinating so far!

Happy Birthday from me too!

I like Dr. Crazy’s blog and I think she handles her pseudonymity very ethically. But not all academic bloggers do, or bloggers generally, unfortunately. I though Tenured Radical said a lot of true and important things here: http://feministlawprofs.law.sc.edu/

Last year I was on a panel with a straight (married to a women and says he is straight) male academic who blogs and comments both as a gay man and as a woman, for kicks, or so he said, and because it is “liberating.” He sent me a link to his gay persona blog and damned if he didn’t pepper his posts with asides like “as a gay man I …”

Hey–thanks to you all for the encouragement and support. I’ve learned a lot from all of your blogs–my retro cowgirl icons are a pretty clear rip-off of GayProf’s Wonder Woman image library. And Squadratomagico generously shared some thoughts and ideas about blogging when I was a newbie.

Hooray for WWW 2.0!
