MEME - Blogging

Via jewbu quest:

Do you like the look and the contents of your blog?

Look:  I wanted to keep it simple and easy on the eyes. A confusing site about Alzheimer's didn't make much sense. My lack of design skills are readily apparent.
Content:  I won't be happy until I can write "Cure Found For Alzheimer's".

Does your family know about your blog?

No, but that's not a hard and fast rule. 

Can you tell your friends about your blog? Do you consider it a private thing?

Friends, yes. Acquaintances, no. Since it is published for the world to see I can't say it's private but they are my personal thoughts on a public issue.

Do you just read the blogs of those who comment on your blog?  Do you try to discover new blogs?

Both.  I read the blogs of those who comment and I look for new (to me) blogs. There are some talented writers out there.

Did your blog positively affect your mind?  Give an example.

The topic of my blog is overwhelming and without any clear cut answers.  My blog lets me write it out and have my thoughts and info in one place so it is easier to handle.  If it also helps someone else, that's even better.

What does the number of visitors to your blog mean?  Do you use a traffic counter?

I don't have a counter.  Comments are a better indication of whether I've made a connection. If I were concerned about the number of visitors, I'd have picked a different topic.

Do you imagine what other bloggers look like?

Not anymore.  I haven't been right yet.

Do you think blogging has any real benefit?

Yes. It brings people with similar interests or situations together.  Insights and
information are shared.  On a larger scale, I hope that blogs can act as a basis for changing what needs to be changed and fixing what needs to be fixed.

Do you think that the blogsphere is a stand alone community separated from the real world?

I don't believe it's a stand alone community.  With large companies, major news organizations and millions of people using them, they are too mainstream to be considered stand alone.

Do some political bloggers scare you? Do you avoid them?

Don't have time.  There are so many and finding one that is honest and unbiased is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Do you think that criticizing your blog is useful?

Yes.  It makes me think, provides a different point of view and it means someone is actually reading it.

Have you ever thought about what would happen to your blog if you died?

I wouldn't write it anymore.

Which blogger has had the greatest impression on you?

All the caregiver bloggers for keeping me involved but especially Karma for getting me to share.

Which blogger do you think is the most similar to you?

Hopefully none are too similar.

Name a song you want to listen to.

Completely unrelated but since I'm writing this on a beautiful clear evening:  California Stars from Mermaid Avenue (Wilco and Woody Guthrie).
