This morning, my partners Elisa Camahort, Jory Des Jardins and I announced the BlogHer Ad Network in partnership with two dozen incredible moms who blog. Here are the links, followed by our intro below:
Introducing a new way for advertisers to jump-start a conversation with the most influential women on the Internet: Women bloggers and their readers.
BlogHer LLC, the number-one guide to women bloggers, invites sponsors to join the BlogHer Ad Network and support women who blog...
You have to visit the first link to see every blog -- and there will be more, as we say in our letter. I think it's exciting and important that we add economic empowerment to our mission. More from me on this topic soon...
Eager to hear your thoughts!

I think that's a fantastic idea, Lisa. Congratulations. I blogged about it at www.mathewingram.com/work. Best of luck with it.

Lisa, that's great that you are able to start up an ad network for women bloggers! Moms who blog are a good choice to start with too, there are all sorts of products that women buy online for themselves and their kids.
Will you be adding more contributing editors to blogher.com? If so, I would love to blog there - its a great community!
