the blogger decoder

I've been blogging for 2-2.5 years. I own 1 domain and keep my blog and any other content I produce on the same site. I maintain and manage my blog with my own home-grown content management system. I link only to sites I like to read (and sites that I have time to read) on a regular basis. I check my stats occasionally, mostly to discover new blogs that are linking to mine. 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 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.
