• Dec. 21, 2008 - My 2008, Curious as a Cat, Blogging Poll and Conest!

A couple of years ago I hosted a poll and contest because I wanted to get a good look at a slice of the bloggers here at HSB. I've decided to host this, very unofficial, poll again because back then there were only around 5,000 blogs on HSB and there are now over 21,000!   


So here's what I'm wondering: 

 

1.  Why did you start a blog? 

2.  What did/do you hope to accomplish with your blogging? 

3.  Have you found that you don't post as much as you did when you started?

4.  If yes, why not?

5.  How important are comments to you?

6.  Do you ever find yourself wishing people would not always leave comments that agree with you?

7.  Do you comment on other people's blogs a lot, sometimes, or very little?

8.  What determines why you don't post a comment on someone else's blog?

9.  What determines why you do post a comment on someone else's blog?

10.  Do you have more than one blog?  Where?

11.  Do you read random blogs either off of random blogger or friends lists? 

There you have it.  Eleven simple questions.  Post your answers on your blog and sign up with the Mister Linky below using the direct URL (permalink) to your poll answers post. As I have this blog's text selection disabled, you can copy the poll questions from HERE.

You must be at least 18 years of age and live in the U.S. to enter. (Unless of course you just want to do the poll, but I'm only mailing the prize to someone over 18 and lives within the U.S.) Be sure to mention why you are putting the poll questions and answers up on your blog and link your readers back to this post.  After a suitable period of time I will post the results.  Don't worry, I won't post names.  This poll will be used for absolutely nothing that I know of, except to satisfy my own ample curiosity.   

As incentive to get people to answer these questions at all, I will have someone randomly choose a human blogger from the entries.  The winner will receive this family popcorn gift set. I absolutely love enamel ware, it reminds me of my grandma.  

This poll and contest will close on Jan. 16th.
 

I'm waiting!

questions. I really enjoyed reading the other bloggers posts and enjoyed answering the questions myself. I am a homeschooling mother as well but started at homesteadblogger. I hope you all will stop by my blog too.

I finally figured out why I could not get my comments to post, or my name and url to work in your input text boxes. Evidently whatever code was used to create your blog doesn't work with FireFox. I had to load it in Internet Explorer instead.

Cool contest idea! Thanks!

Rats! The Mr. Linky won't let me add my name and blog URL. I don't know what's going on. So, if it works for you, could you please add my name Suzy Scribbles and my URL:

I'll check back later, but right now the little boys are really bugging me to start school. Gotta run.....

Posted by TheCrazyMom
I am on the TOS CREW and can't enter The Old Schoolhouse or Homeschool Blogger Contests. However, this is a personal contest, right? Can I enter?

I'm also on the Crew, so if that disqualifies me, I guess I'm out. But I answered the questions and sent people back to you, anyway. :-)

I also can't get Mr. Linky to work for me right now. Here's my post entry.

Posted by janicecampbell
I enjoy your Blogging Basics newsletter, and I love the idea of having polls/contests. I think I'll be doing that next year!

For what it's worth, I couldn't fill in the Mister Linky from my Mac running Firefox, so I had to do it from a PC. Seems odd!

Your contest inspired me to think about why I do this! It rekindled my passion and excitement for it! Thank you!
I did have to go to Internet Explorer instead of Firefox to make Mr. Linky work!
Have a great New Year!

The politically incorrect ramblings of a sage rat den mother. As well as thoughts on adoption, special needs children, and My Lord and Savior.














About the turtle: Tia Turtle is a character in a new book by Gena Suarez, "And Then Mama Said...It Takes Time to Learn to Read." Kevin Collier is the illustrator and he made me my special avatar, because yes, Tia Turtle is named after Me! (Okay, so I'm bragging. Leave me a correctional comment in love.)
