I am happy to report that Arienanna Foley has agreed to serve as a guest author at Get Real for the next month or so. Arieanna and I met in Vancouver recently at the Northern Voice conference, and I subsequently spent some time looking over her blogging at Blogaholics and Ipipi, and though she had the same sort of irrational passion for the stuff we obsess about here at Get Real.

And, no, this was not conjured as a response to Halley Suitt's newest crusade (as reported by Steven Levy in Newsweek, here, and in her Ten New Voices post) about redressing the imbalances in the the male and white dominated blogosphere, although it's true that Arieanna is a woman, as you can see, as well as being Canadian. I am going to put my blogroll back up (it just mislaid in our last facelift), and I will accept the Ten New Voices challenge with nine others this week.
