Menstrual Poetry Link Directory

March 5, 2008 · Filed Under Menstrual Poetry News

Menstrual Poetry has been doing really well lately. Creating buzz and awareness for this website has been my daily work and the popularity the site is gaining is something that I am absolutely ecstatic about because that not only means that yay my website is actually getting significant hits daily, but also that more and more people are reading about feminism and human rights–That or they all really hate me and come here to tell me that.

Nevertheless, I have decided to expand Menstrual Poetry’s network a bit and have been working for countless hours on the newest installment–Seriously, it’s 10am and I haven’t shut my eyes and I believe I am going to start hallucinating soon.

Menstrual Poetry now has its very own link directory. I encourage everyone to go over and submit your websites; not only will it be some exposure for you and not make me feel as if I have just spent more hours than I probably should have creating something that is a bust, but link directories are also a fabulous (and way easy) way to gain a higher Google PageRank, so there is your incentive!

Note: The link directory does not exclude men bloggers, so don’t be fooled by the header description. However, it does exclude men bloggers and websites in general that contain sexist or misogynist content. This is a pro-female and pro-feminist website and the link directory is no different.

Comment System Tweaked and the Cold from Hell

February 17, 2008 · Filed Under Life, Menstrual Poetry News

I’m always looking for ways to make Menstrual Poetry stand out and be the very best that it can be. In my efforts, I have changed the way the comment system here will work from now on which I am quite pleased with.

Due to the nature of the topics that I write about, people have occasionally replied to comments made before them and some have even encountered a small debate or two. This is not only fine with me, but is encouraged. I believe in everyone’s right to free speech and people should have the right to say what they would like here and others have the right to question and debate what previous commenters have stated. Because of this I have installed a new plugin, Brian’s Threaded Comments, which places a ‘reply to this comment’ link at the bottom of every comment.

Other than that, the lack of an actual thought out post can be blamed on having the cold from hell. These two items have been my lifelines:

Lipton tea

Lipton cranberry pomegranate tea with organic honey added and not only walking around, but even sleeping with a roll of toilet paper because my nose has not stopped running! Needless to say, I am miserable, have a constant headache and cannot get enough sleep partly due to the fact that every time I sleep, I wake up several times to blow my nose.

I am also severely lacking motivation of any kind, which makes working on my other websites a joke. Speaking of which, everyone should go check out Woman Tribune. It took a mild hiatus but is getting back on its feet.

New Theme to Match the New Apartment

February 6, 2008 · Filed Under Menstrual Poetry News

I figured that it was only logical that while my daily surroundings have changed drastically, this website’s look should be spruced up a bit as well. I went back to the old colors that Menstrual Poetry had towards the beginning and also went a bit simpler with the colors and the design in general.

I feel as if more websites need to go back to the simpler designs and avoid the designs with the black backgrounds and neon green and pink text colors. Simple pays off, simple puts people at ease, or at the very least makes what you have to say a lot easier to read. Outrageous neon colors on black backgrounds makes eyes bleed.

Hope you enjoy the new theme!

Menstrual Poetry Headquarters is Moving!

January 28, 2008 · Filed Under Menstrual Poetry News

The lack of updates, along with the missing week of Feminism at its Finest is due to packing up the last 2 years of material possessions I have accumulated along with the boyfriend’s past 9 years of accumulated junk into boxes and moving!

Moving is, of course, a very exciting (especially if you’re leaving Scranton, Pennsylvania, which I cannot even begin to stress how happy it makes me to say that I am) but also a very hectic time with very little else left in the day to do but eat and sleep. However, within a few days we shall be completely moved into our new place, internet will hopefully be set up soon after, and Menstrual Poetry will be back not only in full swing, but better (and more frequent) than before!

Menstrual Poetry is Back!

December 12, 2007 · Filed Under Menstrual Poetry News

As many have noticed, Menstrual Poetry has been down for the last week or so due to a change in servers. Usually, a server change would mean a few hours of down time, however, things can never pan out as ordinary for me as they do for others.

It is officially safe to say that I work one job which easily equals two, or maybe even three regular full-time jobs. That, combined with those pesky human necessities such as food and sleep has made it increasingly hard for me to find time to write or even read up on current events. Luckily, those those 14 hour days of looking at code and treating my computer as a physical attachment to myself are letting up and I am again forwarding my attention to this website. The content is still down but I will be diligently working on getting everything back up and in a new, refreshed, and up to date manner.

Menstrual Poetry has officially re-launched!
