MentorNet, the premier e-mentoring organization, has recently launched the MentorNet Blog. Mary Fernandez tells us in the inaugural entry:

If you would like to contribute a story about your career to MentorNet's blog, just email Mary at blog AT mentornet DOT net, and she'll post your contribution. You can contribute anonymously if you'd like.
