I've been tagged by the excellent
Sketches, so here goes.
Why do you blog?I find it a good way to express myself, share my thoughts, my life and my pictures. It's a great way of relieving pressure by getting some things out in the open. And it's somewhere I can be creative and personal. Besides, it's great fun!
I also love the community aspect and I've met lots of wonderful new people through blogging. Guess it can be seen as a second life, a second world to exist in. Lots can be learnt through blogs, whether they are interesting facts or opinions, news stories, great links, it's the little things that matter.
Blogging is much more than just typing a day's entry and I guess that is what keeps me hooked!
How long have you been blogging?I started on 16th August 2003. So that's just over 3 years and 1 month. Things were quiet back then, I only blogged every couple of weeks or so. I was just finding my feet and the addiction hadn't yet set in.
Self portrait
(Right click and 'view' to see it bigger, I shrunk to make it neater...)
Why do readers read your blog?I honestly have no idea! If I knew that, I could put it into a book and make millions mwa ha ha... or not.
What was the last search phrase someone used to find your site?Isn't it annoying that I had to remove my statcounter code as it was slowing down my site, maybe I can put it back now. I'll update this question in a few days time once I have the results back. Shame the 20six stats page is a waste of time.
Which of the entries gets unjustly too little attention?All of them?!
Well most of the interesting things I want to blog have escaped my mind when the time comes to write it up.
I keep meaning to carry a 'blogging book' where I can jot things down so I don't forget them.
Your current favourite blog?I don't really have any favourites, just a lot of blogs which I like to read a lot (even if I'm not able to comment on them).
Which blog did you read most recently?Disgruntled Commuter was where I was at before I wrote this. A very good blog, witty and interesting, about the delights of commuting in London. Working where I do I can relate to it well.
Which feeds do you subscribe to?I have a number of blogs on Firefox Live Bookmarks, only recently started subscribing as I didn't need to before 20six changed, and people didn't spread between platform and 20six kept track of the lot. They were the good old days.
Also subscribe to local BBC news and Digital Spy.
Which 4 blogs are you tagging with this meme and why?Guess most people on 20six have done this by now. So...
Katy,
Mike,
Chris and
Emma, as I'd like to read their answers (why else?!).
