Blog interrogation: Sarge

qydj


Welcome Sarge to Blog Interrogation. Relax, this is quite painless. - unless you have something to hide! 5 questions to draw out what bloggers think of their site and their approach to blogging.

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?

Quit Your Day Job is the name of my main blog, I do write for a number of other blogs too but that one is definitely the main site. It's really hard to pick a stand out post because the site has a very eclectic style. I write about pop culture, the environment, my life etc. I suppose my favourite post right now is something that I wrote a while ago now talking about eating locally. The post spawned a spin off blog in Urban Cultivation, but certainly don't judge the site on this post alone it's best to go to the newest and work your way back LOL -

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?

That is an extraordinarily great question that I haven't even thought of before. I started the blog out as an ambitious business related blog and was going to document a lot of my professional stuff. It quickly evolved into a personal blog and talked a lot about pop culture and had my drawings and stuff. If I had to make a change it would be to make it a personal site straight off - and maybe picked a better URL.

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 that it is very possible that I could change the title. I don't foresee it in the very near future but there's no reason why if the times reflected it that I couldn't change it. The thing is though you start to grow a brand and it would be a shame to lose that recognition.

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?!

Just me baby, just me! I write and edit on a couple of collaboration based sites so I get that diversity on those sites, QYDJ is all about me. And so far not a cent.

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


StarTrek.com because I'm a geek and to be involved in such an amazing franchise would be amazing.

Ed extracts the bones from the blog interrogation


Thanks, Sarge, for taking a few minutes out your life to answer those questions. If I may be so bold as to summarize the interview, you are an eclectic Australian blog junky who sees a career on the internet or a spot on the Star Ship Enterprise as infinitely preferable to working a normal job. I like your thinking.

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.

In this day and age of safe living, homogenization and dumbing down, what a relief to know that there are some real life adventurers still determined to seek out action and danger.
