APC Africa Women Member Wins Harambee Prize

Blogs for African Women (BAWo) has taken hold of the Nigerian blogging spirit to strengthen women's activism. Oreoluwa Somolu, BAWo's founder, sees blogging as a way to get women “hooked on technology”, and gain important skills for community and NGO leadership at the same time. Networking for Success, BAWo's second initiative getting women into the blogosphere, has just been awarded an Harambee Small Grant to increase BAWo's collaboration capacity.

Mugg and Bean meanderings

Feedback so far (just so wanting to test spaces that I will need to post again!)...

Why is the search term in French? When does it change language?

The APC WNSP link on the top navigation bar does not tell me that this is About WNSP. Perhpas it should say About APC WNSP - It is confusing having that next to the Members. I initially read APC WNSP Members as one link.

I like the breakdown of news into What's New, REcent News and APC News.

How do I get to GEM from the explanation page? Assume we click on the book cover?

I like that the navigation bars are constant.

About WNSP - I like the Highlights section. Good idea.

I am not sure about clicking on the taxonomy terms (I was in Policy Advocacy when I clicked on these terms) - feels rather complicated and takes me away from what I am doing.

Like the link to Creative Commons explaining the licence.
