Male or female?
Female
How long have you been a blogger?
I started as a journaler in about 1994. Have had several incarnations since then and only recently switched to a blog format for convenience sake.
How would you categorize your blog, as far as subject matter?
It is a personal journal, but I touch on everything in my life, including what comes into it, such as outside headlines.
What blogging software do you use, and what do you like/dislike about it?
I have my own domain, with a host, and I use Moveable Type. I truly like it’s flexibility. It was like another language to learn, though, and I finally had to pay for installation.
What’s your preferred time of day to blog?
Throughout… I like write when the mood strikes me. However – none of this 4:30aM crap.
If you read other blogs, what types do you prefer?
Witty, funny.
Do you have favorite blogs that you read faithfully?
Gracious, I have at least 100 I read. I use Bloglines.com to keep up with them.
How important is “comment love” (i.e., getting lots of comments on your posts) to you?
Only if there’s something to say. I don’t like the “hi I was here” kinds of comments. But when they have an opinion, or something to share on whatever the topic is, I like them (the readers) to engage.
Do you tend to estimate readership of your blog by the amount of comments posted?
No – I’m a lurker myself.
How important to you is the style/design of your blog?
It’s important to me that it reflects me.
