20 Ways To Tell If Blogging Is Taking Over Your Life
20. You proudly post about which demented, pornological, scatological and downright frightening terms people used last month to arrive at your site.
19. Every few weeks, you have at least one post about why you haven’t posted in the last few weeks….and feel genuine remorse that perhaps you let your readers down.
18. You blog about blogging
17. Your meme collection outnumber your everyday posts
16. You have no one left to tag that hasn’t already been tagged a thousand times before but you tag them anyway.
15. You do the “Drive-By Hi” on cre8buzz.
14. Blogging comments begin to replace emails as a way to communicate with anyone that really matters.
13. You accept “Be my friend” invites on BlogCatalog from people in countries that don’t exist in the CIA Wold Factbook
12. When you write a post, a particularly good one, you immediately work your way through your blogroll “pinging” all your friends with mediocre comments like “Great Post” or “Nice Blog!” or “Funny!”
11. You strategically let the good posts linger for a few days, as well as push the mediocre ones “below the fold.”
10. No one in your 3D world even knows what a blog is, let alone know that you have one.
9. You don’t buy into it, and even feel a little cheated, when someone comments with “Great Post!” or “Nice Blog! or “Funny!”
8. You secretly wish that your kids will fall down, throw up, say something stupid, or otherwise do something crazy, just so you can blog about it.
7. You read blogs in order to get your daily news and you watch the news in order to blog about it.
6. You know the difference between CSS and RSS.
5. You purge comment spam faster than you weed your garden.
4. You hit “Refresh” on your emails within 5 minutes of posting, “just in case.”
3. You take advantage of your midnight pee break to see if you received any comments because you know your European counterparts are already awake.
2. You struggle with the camera timer so you can photograph yourself in an insightful, but oh so candid, pose in order to create THE BEST AVATAR EVER…all 100X100 pixels of it.
…and the number 1 way to tell that blogging has become a huge part of your life…..
1. You write a “You know you are a blogaholic when…” post.
Although every one of these is true for me, I’m not yet ready to admit I have a problem. I’m happy to be a blog-a-holic!
