OK, so I’m not a woman, and have no W’s in my first, middle, or last names. But I do know lots of women who are just amazing bloggers, so I thought I’d take a shot at the W list, borrowed from Holly.

Now share your connections. I know I missed at least a few great women bloggers. Tell me who else I need to know. Help me connect the unconnected!

Hey Phil,
Thanks so much for sharing yet one more way to connect! I love the additions you made. I’m slowly making my way through this list as well as the other contributors here….man I just need more time and a bigger blog reader….LOL
Hugs,
Holly
We now have two great tools. Someone created a wiki for the list here http://wmagicallist.wikispaces.com/ and my new personal hero, Elysa classified the blogs by topic here http://www.genpink.com/. She put a lot of work into it so that it might help you all gravitate first towards subjects of specific interest.
My interest is to help you all connect with ideas and people you may want and need to know to succeed. That’s what I spent my life doing and would be honored to continue doing for you. Do seek opportunities to launch deeper connections with some of these talented authors and thinkers and let me know how I can help you.
Thanks for stepping up to the plate, and though you are not of the fairer sex, you recognize how wonderful this list is and how it is creating a buzz and connection to blogs and women we might never have the opportunity to meet otherwise. My hat is off to you.
Hey thanks, Phil! =D
What an awesome way to promote this list! Thank you for including Flooring The Consumer in such Wonderful company.
Phil,
Thanks for mentioning this list. One industrial blogger even put the list into categories: http://www.genpink.com/the-w-list-outstanding-women-bloggers/
I’ve already connected with many people (both men and women) I would not have otherwise known, and enjoyed reading many new blogs, such as yours!
Thanks for helping spread the word.

Phil - appreciate your kindness. thanks for helping celebrate the talented women in the blogosphere. By the way Carolyn created a wiki http://wmagicallist.wikispaces.com/ where we hope consolidate all of the lists into 1 master magical women’s list.
What a great idea from a great guy! Thanks for helping me find more women writers to connect with.
Wow! Thanks to everyone for stopping by and sharing your feedback. This is a fun list I’m glad I could bring to light and connect with you all!
Phil, thanks so much for posting the list! I am overwhelmed at what has happened to this list, just by the power of people passing it along. You guys (and gals) are an inspiration, and I’ll be back to your blog.
Be well!
Phil, you sure know how to make a gal feel good.
Thank you for including me in this illustrious list! You are a dear for life.
Anne - you are very welcome. It was fun to share it!
Debbie - you are wonderful and you should be on this list. I’m surprised you weren’t in the original list, but you’re like a hidden treasure that I know about, and now, you’re not hidden anymore!
Hey Phil - Great idea!
Tammy Vitale of Women Art Life: Weaving it All Together started a W-list last December, as a response to the Z-list.
I don’t want to try to post the links here because it will trip the spam filter and make a mess, but I posted them on my blog:
http://www.jenniferinc.com/blog/?p=564
Let me know if you want the list to post here, and I can e-mail it. There are some folks on both lists, but a lot who are not. Keep up the great connecting work! :-)
Phil, this list has taken me on quite an adventure. In fact I have discovered so many righteous blogs I’ve barely had time to post on my own blog.
And, some of these acquaintances will turn into lifetime friends and partnerships. It’s that good.
Thanks for fanning the flame.
Jennifer - I can fish anything you hit me with out of the spam filter, but I appreciate you nicely pulling it out and putting it on 1 page and sharing that. You’re welcome to put it here (just please warn me first so I can be ready to fish).
Lisa - this is quite an adventure, and so cool that you’re on the list and meeting great folks! Always fun to do that, even at the expense of your own blog. Long term, which has more impact for your life; your writing or the people you know? That’s why I love to link out to others. I’d rather share than keep things to myself.
What a list! Thanks, Phil.
