the blogger decoder

I've been blogging for over 3 years. 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 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. I blog from either home or work, but only after my work is done and when I get some free time. Nearly all the topics I blog are personal experiences or original writing that can't be found elsewhere on the web. I've dated and/or slept with another blogger and/or met my significant other through blogging. I have posted quite a few photos of myself, but I was fully clothed in them all, thankyouverymuch. Memes and web surveys are, for the most part, pretty stupid, so I don't really participate. Nearly all of my offline friends, family members, and co-workers know about my blog, and that's fine.
