BLOG CHICKS PIX

Observing the frenzied reaction to Asymmetrical Information proprietress Megan McArdle’s posting of a photograph of herself on both the blog and her TechCentral column, it became apparent to me that there was a huge demand for photographs of the Babes of the Blogosphere.

I’ll divide them into three categories by locatability: Hidden Gems (in an individual post or offsite); linked on a Biography Page; and Hiding in Plain Site (permanently displayed on the main blog page or, um, “site”). I’ve started a list with regular reads and/or readers:

Feel free to add your own submissions via the comments feature! Nominations are now closed. Feel free to submit nominees for the sequel.

Note: To ease confusion, I’ve decided to simply update the main post rather than keep numerous updates in the Extended Entry section.

Note 2: Not that these are “adult” photos or anything, but bloggers must be 18 or over in the photos to be eligible.

It's a technicality, but I'm more in the Hiding in Plain Sight category since I have roaming pics in my masthead. And thanks for the link and traffic. Since I couldn't open your page last night I couldn't find out why I had so many visitors from OTB. 'Preciate it...

Let me recant somewhat - I just checked my about page and I see that I forgot to change the masthead for that page, so you are correct. Thanks again.

No prob. The blog was down much of the night, or you'd have had more traffic, probably.

The pics on the main page do rotate and seem to be mostly childhood ones.

Yeah, some. Attractive, huh? :lol:

Don't forget the beautiful Vicky of Liquid Courage. Sure she's my wife, but that doesn't affect me in any way.

Wait, didn't some big time journalist once claim that bloggers were teenage misfit girls? I think you've done a lovely job rebutting that, James. Well done!

The traffic from this is amazing. People must be like, "who's THAT?"

Thank you so much for adding me -- I'm flattered to be included given the fine company! It makes me smile since I've feel like shit lately.

Gah! As for the IP thing you mentioned on whizbang, would you be so kind as to email me the details?

I even changed webhosts and the problem persists!

I actually thought about Rachel's site and forgot about it while looking for links and editing.

I know I've seen a picture of her other than the kiddie shot on the masthead but need a link to it.

Posted by James Joyner | October 28, 2003 | 03:44 pm | Permalink
 

Yeh, I was highly disappointed not seeing Rachel mentioned. I wonder if 'Sunny' (her dog) counts as a female of the blogosphere, considering how often she's viewed or used for blog material.
Heh.

Since I am new to the blogosphere, I thought I would chime in and say hey! My pics are listed under the See Me part of the About Me section of my sidebar. But honestly I doubt that people are reading my blog because of my good looks.

Hey, how 'bout Susannah Breslin. She used to do the Reverse Cowgirl's Blog, over at Slate or Salon, I don't remember which. Had her piccie up there, but of course, it's gone now. A Goggle image search did me no good (tillamook cheddar?).

Ah, here she is. She's doing an audblog now.

Well I'm not 'nominating' myself for anything, just noting that I'm hiding in plain sight also.

Ok, this was a surprise, since I don't blog. But to try to be a little more legit, I have a goofy motorcycle diary I've been keeping for a few years.

Lordy! As if James wasn't sending enough traffic with this post initially, now that InstaPundit has linked it the hits are going through the roof!

Posted by Venomous Kate | October 28, 2003 | 08:27 pm | Permalink
 

The really odd thing is, it's not like they're even advertising us as half-naked babes.

People really do want to see what the strangers they've been reading for all these months look like, I guess.

An unbelievable Instalanche Echo Effect. James' referrers look like a typical Instalanche does, only with Outside the Beltway instead of Instapundit's URL.

Am I a babe of the blogosphere? I guess I should go off on some feminist tirade here, but really, this is so nicely presented – and it’s an honor to be in such fine company. So all I can say is a big thank you for the nomination and the link.

Oh my good James! The traffic from this is off the chart. Yesterday I got over 500 unique hits. That's twice as much as when I was profiled in the Chicago Tribune this past summer. Totally amazing!! Mega thanks for including me on the list. Now I suppose I should go update the picture. I've lost quite a few pounds since that picture was taken.
