Tag; You’re It

I was sort-of tagged by Can­dlestring.

1. Do you pro­mote your blog?

This one, not so much. I do, how­ever, pro­mote the heck out of Newsbleep.com, Stay in the know, now, with Newsbleep.

2. How often do you check hits?

Every once in a while. I have a plu­gin called “Reports” that ana­lyzes my Google Ana­lyt­ics reports so I can get a sense of traf­fic to my site. It also tells me a lit­tle infor­ma­tion about peo­ple who sub­scribe to the feed.

3. Do you stick to one topic?

No. I cover music, movies, TV, and just about any­thing else. I once did 25 posts of Bright Eyes songs. It was really pop­u­lar. ^_^

4. Who knows that you have a blog?

Pretty much every­one. I may not be very self-promoting of my per­sonal site, but it tends to come up in conversation.

5. How many blogs do you read?

Google Reader tells me I sub­scribe to 197 feeds. I cur­rently have 980 unread posts, and I’ve shared 62 items.

6. Are you a fast reader?

I used to be a faster reader than I am now. When I’m immersed into a book, that’s when I seem to take off.

7. Do you cus­tomize your blog or do any­thing technical?

Yes. I actu­ally run a num­ber of wid­gets that I have writ­ten espe­cially to fit my blog. I also designed the style that runs on the blog, though I did not write the theme.

8. Do you blog anonymously?

Yes.

9. To what extent do you cen­sor yourself?

I try to keep my con­tent at a PG-13/TV-14 rat­ing. It’s really more for myself than for oth­ers (like par­ents or parents-in-law) as I find vul­gar lan­guage to usu­ally be unnec­es­sary and crude. If I find the need to swear, I typ­i­cally use the * as a replace­ment for more offen­sive let­ters. I do the same thing in video with the bleep sound. But, mostly, I just find that funny.

10. The best thing about blogging?

Blog­ging is a form of writ­ing that has the ben­e­fit of putting you at fin­ger tips’ reach of an audi­ence. We all write for an audi­ence, but, on the inter­net, that audi­ence can respond to what you’re doing in either a pos­i­tive or neg­a­tive fashion.

I tag: Holli, David, Tony, Bryce, Chris, Dan, Tyler, Paula, Fel­lows, Britt, Sue, and Kelsey.
