While YourTango wouldn't exist without CEO Andrea Miller, and the YourTango community would feel completely neglected without Community Director Lyz Lenz, it's Senior Editor Sarah Harrison who keeps your Google Readers full. Harrison doles out writing assignments, whips up smart headlines and heads up regular edit meetings with an iron fist. We'd be terrified of her if we weren't too busy admiring the way she pulls off the whole sexy-boots-over-skinny-jeans look. OK. Maybe not terrified. But this woman is crazy capable.

Harrison started her career as an intern at Nerve.com, working in their advertising and editorial departments … Read More

The other week, we introduced you to our founder and CEO, Andrea Miller. She makes the rest of us—despite our tendencies to work in the off-hours, neglect loved ones and forget meals—look like lazy bums. This week, we'd like to move along the masthead and spotlight our perpetually-cheery Community Director, Lyz Lenz. Unfortunately for us, she works remotely, in the far, far land that is Iowa. So we can't go to lunch together or swap friendship bracelets. Fortunately, she rocks the whole community thing, and is regularly in contact with you, dear readers, and quick to report back … Read More

In case you hadn't noticed, perhaps because you were so dazzled by our blog posts and personal essays, YourTango sort of rocks the video content. Especially lately, as we've been looking for new and exciting ways to highlight our most valuable commodity—our readers—and taking the most perplexing Ask YourTango questions and presenting them to our love experts, such as dream team Matt Titus and Tamsen Fadal, and the That's What He Said man-panel.

In recognition of our efforts, OVGuide.com—an online video guide—has just informed us that we've been awarded a 2009 "Best in Category" Viewser Choice Award, in … Read More

For the first time ever, Bonnie Fuller, former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, has interviewed Helen Gurley Brown, creator of the women's love and sex bible. The original Cosmo queen dishes about sex, love, work and how to have it all.  

According to Fuller, women today are in debt to Gurley Brown for "her once-revolutionary ideas and her bold determination to relentlessly articulate a better, more self-fulfilling life for women, which she did in every issue of Cosmo during her thirty-year tenure." With the release of Jennifer Scanlon's new book, Read More

Every morning I make some coffee, put on pants (Okay, sometimes I put on pants) and turn on my computer.

Friends who I've never met and have names like Qverb, Watersisland, LAWestphal, BookMama, lwarrell, Rocketman, onewriter, nubiancoco, cal, jss, dynamike, MoniaFreedman (okay, her username sounds normal)…but friends nonetheless. … Read More

Our friends over at Recessionwire did a little write-up about us. Apparently, they like how YourTango and our founder, Andrea Miller, is handling the economic downturn that has hit so many other media groups. The Recessionwire crew would know: After getting cut loose in the downturn, they started the pop-up site to highlight the good in the sea of gloom. Full disclusure: we're content partners with Recessionwire, but we didn't ask them to write this! 

Writes Recessionwire co-founder Laura Rich:

When your industry is shrinking like Lily Tomlin in that movie, what can you do to keep … Read More
