#18 (Week 8) Online Tools

I reviewed the Zoho Writer's, which is a very interesting tool. If you have a blog and you want to add content, this program would work very well. I created two PDF files, which I thought I could export through my blog, but something is not working right. I saved the San Jose State Tree Exercise as PDF, which you can't use on the blogger. I created a document using Zoho, but I don't see how it loads to your blog. I tried this in Zoho, but it does not appear in my blog, and I am not able to import through my computer files. Does anyone have any solutions? If you can't import these web tool documents, what is the point?

Why Storming Women, one might ask?

In naming this blog, I was thinking in context to one of my current research projects documenting the "Feminist Capital" through oral history. I presented a paper “Storming Politics: San Jose Women and the “Feminist Capital” 1974-2007” at the Social Science Historical Association in Minneapolis this past fall. This paper was based on several oral history interviews I conducted this past year. To date, I have interviewed Janet Gray Hayes, the first female mayor of San Jose, and the first women to be elected in a large city. I also interviewed, Susanne Wilson, who served on the City Council during this same time period, and went on to serve as a member of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. Santa Clara County became known as the "Feminist Capital" of world as result of the success of women in elected office and in key administrative posts. Susie Wilson, Zoe Lofgren, Dianne McKenna, and to some degree Sally Reed created their own female majority on the Board. I plan to write an article on this research in the near future.
