Work. Shock.

Just a short note that times and frequency of blogging might change, as today I’m starting a new job, after a few months of being a “lady of leisure”. (Huh!) It is as deputy editor of the Guardian Weekly – a compilation of the Guardian with a wide international circulation.

There’s a nice circularity about this, since I used to read it in Australia as a young journalist on my first paper. From the perspective of Henty (population: 1,000, industries: wheat and wool) it looked like the height of intellectual sophistication, and it still looks pretty damn good. I also first wrote for it in 1998, from Pyongyang.)

It is a job-share post – three days a week. So I’ll still be here quite often…

Appearing on ‘Life Matters’

Australian readers might have been surprised this morning to hear something sounding familiar on their radios – I did a long interview (which covered a lot of ground about the Carnival of Feminists and other blogging topics) on Radio National’s Life Matters.

You can find the podcast, or listen through your computer, here.

I am not sure that I will listen to it – experience suggests that I will think on every second sentence “Could have said that better”, and of all the things I should have said but didn’t!

Well done to the Guardian

Someone (perhaps even listening to me) has made all the blogs named in its article on feminist blogging clickable, which they weren’t before. Which is making a huge difference to traffic. Thanks!
