I’m going to try to resist the urge to blog for the next three days. I need some rest, relaxation and time away from this site, although I have a nagging feeling I’ll miss the next big blogging thing. But as you surfers know, there’s always the next wave.
I’m putting the final tweaks on my new blog design. It’s nothing radical. The colors are the same and the layout is similar. I’ve added three columns and space for a couple of ads, and I’m breaking down blogs into several categories. The roll is too long. I’m disabling comments for most entries, but I’ll enable them for some. I decided that getting rid of commenting altogether would be too radical.
In the meantime, as preliminary research for a project, I’m requesting the assistance of bloggers. Please answer the following questions either in the comments or via e-mail. Generously trackback to this post, if you’d like. HaloScan users, try Simpletracks if you get an error message. The Word Press upgrade should fix that.
1) How long have you been blogging?
2) Do you believe you’re addicted to blogging? Please explain, and be honest. It is habit-forming, I must confess. (If I decide to use your response, I may have follow-up questions.)
3) Have you ever taken a hiatus? If so, for what reason and how long?
4) Have you ever thought of giving up your blog? Why or why not?
Readers, feel free to comment as well. And please spread the word around the blogosphere about this post.
If I’m as strong as I think I am, I won’t see you until Monday. Thanks for your support.
