Another Great Interview From The Well

Rebecca Blood is an internationally known weblogger and writer. She has a BA in English and has held more kinds of jobs than you have, including waitress, nanny, actress, secretary, boat-builder's assistant, evil telemarketer, film production assistant, personal driver, film extra, caterer, web designer, author, speaker, administrative director for a non-profit, and "special forces" for a small regional magazine.

Rebecca has maintained the popular weblog, Rebecca's Pocket, since April 1999, linking and writing about current events, media literacy, web culture, sustainability, domestic life, and whatever else catches her eye. In September 2000 she published the influential essay "Weblogs: A History and Perspective" and in July 2002 she published her first book, "The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog". Both have been used in university courses throughout the English-speaking world.

She is frequently called on by the press to illuminate the currently unstoppable weblog phenomenon, and has discussed online culture in interviews with the New York Times, Newsweek, Fast Company, the BBC, and on National Public Radio. She will be presenting a keynote at Blogtalk, the first conference about weblogs, to be held May 23-24, 2003 in Vienna, Austria. She lives in San Francisco.
