No Chicks No Excuses goes live
Feb. 11th, 2011 10:02 pmNo Chicks No Excuses is an Australian directory of women speakers, because, as the site says:
I've been working on this site for nearly a year, now (though it doesn't seem that long!), through my day job. The founders wanted something quick and easy, so we decided to use Wordpress, but while the skin hasn't had a lot of modification, the back end has. In order to make it a user-friendly experience for both the not-very-techy admins and contributors, a slew of plugins and other tweaks occurred, and we finally went happily live on Monday!
So far, feedback has been good--both in terms of press (both print and blogosphere), and the feedback of seeing the users, by and large, follow the paths we carefully laid out for them. Also, the site itself is doing good stuff, which makes me extra-pleased.
I'm working on a links page for it at the moment too, exchanging linkage with the likes of geekspeakr.com, so if you can think of any other potential sister-sites, ping me.
There's no excuse for not having women speakers. Inspirational females to enliven your next conference, panel, board, think tank, article, broadcast, programme or lecture.
