Just tried the Gender Analyser out on 2 of my sites, www.BusinessBlogAngel.com which has 2 women writers (of which I'm one) and www.DailyBread365.com which is a primarily female community again with myself and another woman as the main contributers.
The first one came out as 71% male and the second as 67% male!
Given that the key names are Joanna, Lucy-Ann and Claire, I don't think it can be crawling the text for names, or even the 'posted by..' text.
