Thinking about Community on Jezebel.com

Hey all, for our practice run of the new blog project we've chosen jezebel.com, a multiple-author blog that talks about "celebrity, sex, and fashion for women" from a feminist slant. I've also gotten several links to adorable cat videos on youtube from jezebel..... if you're into that sort of thing. The posts are pretty varied.... some are interesting juxtapositions of visuals and text, some are opinion pieces on gender issues, and some are brief commentary on news links. Take a look at a number of posts to get an idea of the conversations, tone, and different slants on the blog. Look through the suggested prompts for respondents on the blog project assignment sheet and start commenting. I'm particularly interested in different approaches to feminism and "fashion" and femininity and how they interact on the blog.
