Finding Fellow Female Geek Bloggers

Female Geek Bloggers badge

Have you played around with Google+ yet? I’m not as active on there as I am on other networks, but I am a member of a few Communities. Communities are similar to Facebook Groups or website forums, where like-minded people gather to share resources and chat about whatever they’re interested in. One G+ Community I particularly enjoy is Female Geek Bloggers, moderated by Bree Brouer and The Nerdy Girlie.

With 300+ members, there are a wide variety topics discussed, including Doctor Who, cosplay, comics, movies, anime, gaming (both video and board), and even “geek therapy.” I really enjoy the breadth of discussions, and have been exposed to topics and people I wouldn’t have otherwise stumbled upon. I also love the sense of community there – all of us interested in geeky things, supporting blogging and sometimes marketing efforts of other geeky females.

Quite a few of the members are also crafters, so I get to see plenty of interesting geekcrafts. A few projects that have been shared in the Community:

Who are some of your favorite female geek bloggers to follow?

All Your Blogs Are Belong To Us.

Greetings fellow geek crafters. I am one of you newest bloggers to join the team. My name is Meghan and I am a geek, borderline nerd, with 4 kids, and I can’t stop crafting.  I make ridiculous things all the time, especially while watching cartoons.  Here is a sample of one my my most ambitious geek crafts, The Periodic Table of Elements in cross stitch. It took me a long time, like all the episodes of  Firefly, Futurama (twice) and Home Movies to complete. I designed the pattern using KXStitch, which is an awesome Linux program you must check out.

I’m super excited to scour the blog-o-sphere, in search of the greatest and geekiest crafts I can find, plus a few of my own, and to share them with you.

You can check out some of the other geeky things I’ve done on Instructables as Domestic_engineer.
