I've been blogging for 3-6 months. I don't own a domain, but I have my
own web address. I use Blogger, BigBlogTool, upsaid or other similar
service to update a site on my own web host. I have quite a few links,
and I try to check in on them all regularly, or at least periodically.
I usually check my stats about once a day but I don't keep any records
or running tallies. I don't link to any of the A-list blogs (Megnut,
Kottke, Robot Wisdom, etc.)... if I ever want to visit their site, I'll
just follow a link from someone else's blog. I don't post that
frequently. In fact, I'm lucky if I manage to post 2 or 3 new entries a
week. The blog isn't the first thing I think of when something happens,
but I usually remember to blog the interesting things... eventually. I
blog some original material with the occasional web link with
accompanying personal commentary about the link. Some people like to
get it on with other bloggers, but for me, the last thing I need is to
get sexually involved with one of these neurotic blogging pinheads. I
have posted quite a few photos of myself, but I was fully clothed in
them all, thankyouverymuch. I usually check out most of the surveys I
run across, but I only blog the results if I find them interesting or
favorable. Nearly all of my offline friends, family members, and
co-workers know about my blog, and that's fine.
