Blog interrogation: Linda

are-we-there-yet-blog


Welcome Linda to Blog Interrogation. Relax, this is a painless way to extract what you know about your blog and your approach to blogging. 5 questions, 5 answers from the hip.

The hardest question first. What is the name of your website, and can you pick one feature or story to illustrate the flavor of the site to newcomers?

Are We There Yet? and I guess I'd have to point visitors to the very first post so that they could get an idea of what direction I was hoping to head in. Come to think of it, you have already sent people to that first post so your thinking must be very similar to mine!

This is a killer question if you are a perfectionist. In the history of the site, if there were one thing you could change, or one decision you could reverse, what would it be?

I don't think that there is anything I would change at this point up to and including my sidebar (which I do change up a little bit on occasion by the way!). At some point in the future I might like to try a new blogskin but for now I'm pretty happy with it the way it stands.
spotlight
Would you ever consider changing the name of your site to reflect the passing of time? For instance, after reading The Onion, I compared the first posts with the latest, & the name Has Bean sprang to mind. What do you think in your case?

I think because the title of my blog reflects life in general and the constant of wonder of well, are we there yet or not? that I probably wouldn't change it because, to be honest, I'm not sure if I'm ever actually going to get there or, for that matter, even know where there is!

Back on track, how many has beens, I mean, writers, does it take to create your site? And how much do they earn per hour?!

It's just me, myself, and I and I get paid absolutely nothing for all of the blood, sweat, and tears I pour into the project! This is going to sound corny but my real payment comes in the form of people telling me that they got a laugh out of something, or something I wrote made them stop and think for a moment or two.

Finally, if you could get an article published on any website on earth, other than your own, which would it be, and why?


I've never really given any thought to this one at all, to be perfectly honest. I guess I'd like it to be a site that a lot of people read so that they would then come in droves to my little part of the blogosphere and marvel at the wonder that is me (heehee!).

Ed extracts the bones from the blog interrogation


Thanks, Linda, for re-charging your laptop to answer those questions. If I may take a stab at summarizing the interview, it sounds to me like you have found a blogging style and a theme that you feel pretty comfortable with - a point that has taken a lot of time and effort to reach. I am sure if your own articles get Stumbled often enough you will experience the thrill of droves on a regular basis, without needing to blog away from home. A bit like the thrill of winning M&M's or gummi bears even!

So, who is next up? The next person who cares to send me the answers to these questions. Short ,sharp and to the point - a blogger's dream with a few backlinks for good measure.
