If you are female and often browse the internet to find various items of interest, this may be a good site for you to check out. Much like Digg, Netscape, and the like, Sk*rt features reader-submitted articles, webpages, blogs, videos, etc. which you can vote for if you enjoyed it. The main difference with Sk*rt is that it was designed by women and is very female-centric, focusing on categories such as food, fashion, mind/body/spirit, arts & crafts, parenting, and more. Of course our focus here is their food section, naturally, but the rest looks pretty interesting too.
Best part is - you can use this site for your own purposes. If you are simply looking for some interesting ideas, you can browse what others have submitted. If you are looking to share info or increase traffic on your own blog or website, you are able to submit your own links.
Besides, when it helps us to find such items as chocolate bubble-wrap, it just can't be a bad thing.

But who would be so blatantly self-promotional as to want to submit their own links?
Me! Me!
Thanks for the tip. This sounds like a great idea. And I'm totally shameless about trying to entice new people over to my grouchy little health and fitness blog.
Which, um, readers can find here:

So anyone with way too much time on their hands who wants to give Joanne a little boost, it's pretty easy to sign up there and vote. Last I saw it was on the second page of "up and coming" but I assume that all changes fast.

I'm sorry, but, really, wtf? I'm all for websites developed by women, but those categories are a bit much.

If the site were about technology and politics then it wouldn't be a blog for women, it would be a blog for those interested in technology and politics. I don't think the point is that these are the only issues women are interested in, I think the point is that these are issues that women show greater interest in than men. On blogs geared towards men no ones complains "yeah, it's all cars and guns because no men are interested in cooking or childcare." I as a woman have no problem with this site. If I want to hear other people's opinions on technology or politics I'll go to and appropriate blog.
Lighten up a little, you don't have to visit Sk*rt. Feel free to create a blog that lives up to your standards and be sure to send us the link so we can tell you what categories you left out.

Besides, it's parenting, food, fashion, relationships, etc - not "how to prepare a meal for your husband and 2.5 kids" circa 1952...

I found this website when looking for design sites and announcements. I've created a Web Design award site to recognise only the best designers / developers. Can I announce this someone on your site?
Thanks in advance,
gr. Roxlu
