IVillage is a wonderful site for women. There are a wide array of channels of information from recipes to cleaning and household and garden information. Its great that in the recipe channel that they bring in visiting host chefs and give people a chance to meet them in the food chat. They offer newsletters that suited to your interests and on a wide variety of subjects and if you arent happy with them, it is very easy to unsubcribe to the newsletters.
Forget who steered me towards iVillage but I thank them very much, if Im looking for a recipe to try, I always find one at iVillage. The only thing is sometimes the recipes take forever to load which I find is the only bad thing Ive found about that site so far. My experience at iVillage has been nothing but positive and I have found the chat hosts to be warm and very helpful
