the blogger decoder

I've been blogging for 6-9 months. I own 1 domain and keep my blog and any other content I produce on the same site. I use Blogger, BigBlogTool, or similar service to update a blogspot, Geocities, or other hosted site; or I use diaryland, livejournal, or another service with built-in updating and content management. 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, nor read, any of the standard A-list blogs (Megnut, Kottke, Robot Wisdom, etc.). In fact, I've never heard of 'em. I try to post once a day, but it doesn't always happen, and that's no big deal. I sometimes carry a laptop or PDA with me, or I'll find an internet cafe, and I blog soon after I get a bloggable idea. I blog some original material with the occasional web link with accompanying personal commentary about the link. I might flirt a little with other bloggers, but anything beyond that is out of the question. I have posted at least a photo of my face on my blog, but not much more. I've taken a few surveys or participated in a few memes, but there seem to be so many of them I have to pick and choose. Friends know about my blog, but I generally don't talk about it with some groups (ie: family and/or co-workers) because they probably wouldn't get the whole blogging concept.
