Here in Boston, we always root for the underdog. It's a mentality I've always had, so when it comes to blogging I'm always looking for that great, under read blog that only gets a couple of hits a day to talk up. But I admit, it's hard to find talented little bloggers in the vast world of blogspots and wordpresses (did you know there's a blog born every half second?) but that doesn't mean we don't try! Hey, the Sox's hard work for 86 years payed off, right?

Blogger Chuck Westbrook is rooting for the underdog too- he is forming a group of bloggers to help bring awareness to underappreciated blogs. Here's Chuck's plan:

1. Gather some nice bloggers who believe in helping good content rise. The more the merrier. This becomes our group for the project.
2. A good, lesser-known blog is chosen. Everyone in the group will read that blog for two weeks.
3. At the end of the two weeks, the group moves to another blog to read.

Well, Blogette is a beginner blogger, and I'm always looking to bring in more readers and improve content! Pick me Chuck! :)

You may notice a new feature on the right panel of my blog today entitled "Blogette Reads". For now I just have a few pages, but I'm hoping to document all of the noteworthy blogs that I follow so you can have more posts to read too! Enjoy!

Hi, I’m the new Boston Blogette!

Welcome to a site where I'll be offering insights on whatever me and my girlfriends happen to be chatting, arguing or obsessing over. When getting the group of us together, you can barely get a word in. We are all dealing with our new found lives in front of computers, so I find it only appropriate that we transfer our chatter to a blog.

Consider my voice a work in progress, which has been relatively dormant since a hefty pile of post-graduation cover letters. My recent departure from my picturesque career as a typical American college student (party, party, class, party) has fizzled into a 9-5 that is certainly going to take some getting used to. But I consider myself a glass is half full type of girl, so what better time to offer thoughts on my life as a 20-something than when I become a new member of the Metro Boston workforce?

My aspirations for this blog (besides the usual fashion, food and fun advice) include veering away from the Cosmo-esque writing style that has plagued our college lives; we’re working girls now right? Look for book recommendations, news observations and some healthy, go-green initiatives as some of my favorites.

So stash this blog in your favorites folder alongside Perez and Fashionista and take my advice that posts are best enjoyed on weekday mornings alongside your favorite Starbucks or Dunkies order.

Enjoy!
