the blogger decoder

I've been blogging for over 3 years. I own 2 or more domains that are updated regularly. 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 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 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. 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 several photos of myself on my blog. Some of them may have included full or partial nudity. 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.
