Can anyone BlogTip? Is it still going on? I sometimes cannot tell how old a post is…I suppose I can look at the comment dates. I LOVE this idea!

I think there is some truth to that – Leslie is caught in the middle of news journalists and bloggers by blogging for the WP. I would be curious to know if she gets any ‘flak’ (for lack of a better word at the moment) from either side. Do any journalists dismiss her writing because she is a blogger? Do any bloggers dismiss her writing because she is a journalist and book author?

Hopefully she’ll drop by and give us the scoop.

At the same time, her writing is truly, well, blog writing! Open, conversational, and she feels so real and approachable as you read her stuff. So in the end, I would hope that anyone would “judge” her on the true quality of her words.

Hi Wendy,

I love this blog. I’ve had it in my blogroll since the beginning of my blog back in November, and I agree – Leslie seems to provide a balanced perspective from the mommy side and the career woman side (that really wasn’t worded properly).

Could it be that her blog isn’t that visible in the blogosphere because she is associated with the Washington Post? In other words, it seems bloggers’ source of information are other bloggers. I read somewhere that for some bloggers, linking to mainstream media is undesirable. I can sort of see how this might be true, but could that be a possibility? Even so, the exposure Leslie is getting now hopefully will get the word out.
