Meme Tagged
Tagged by PotatoStew:
1: Do you like the look and the contents of your blog?
At the moment, yes, although I’ve changed both a few times. And my next big change will probably be a switch from Blogger to WordPress.
2: Does your family know about your blog?
Yep. And they’re bored by it.
[My daughter adds: "Ah, yeah."]
3: Can you tell your friends about your blog? Do you consider it a private thing?
It’s public and I tell both friends and strangers.
4: Do you just read the blogs of those who comment on your blog? O do you try to discover new blogs?
I scan Greensboro 101 often, and when I have time, I read through my Bloglines.
5: Did your blog positively affect your mind? Give an example.
Yes. Homeless ministry can be intense and emotional, and blogging is a good outlet for it. Like when I worry about my friends on the street and I can’t instantly solve all their problems, so sometimes it helps to write about it. (One example is here.)
6: What does the number of visitors to your blog mean? Do you use a traffic counter?
The first part of that is self-explanatory, isn’t it? And yes, I use two.
7: Did you imagine how other bloggers look like?
No. That’s weird.
8: Do you think blogging has any real benefit?
Done well, it’s a great way to share information and build community.
9: Do you think that the Blogsphere is a stand alone community separated from the real world?
Has anyone ever answered “yes” to that? I hope not. Because that would be sad. Desparate. Pathetic. And honestly, a little bit funny in the kind of way where you have to look away and giggle because you don’t want to admit that you just laughed at something that tragic. And p.s., the word “Blogosphere” is such an eyeroller. Blogging is not a superpower, y’all.
10: Do some political blogs scare you? Do you avoid them?
No and yes.
11. Do you think that criticizing your blog is useful?
Constructive criticism can be useful.
12: Have you ever thought about what happen to your blog in case you died?
No. Wow. [If my face froze in this expression...]
13: Which blogger had the greatest impression on you?
Sean Coon. Had and has. He doesn’t just blog. He believes.
14: Which blogger you think is the most similar to you?
Hmmm…. No one springs to mind.
15: Name a song you want to listen to.
“Keep Singing,” by MercyMe. (You can hear it playing in the background on the Pete & Ricky video.)

I don’t do memes. It’s against my religion.
