Blog Investigation, part 1 ...
Ok, bloggers...need your help on a project and it's on our favorite subject... blogging! I have some questions for all of you. I know you are super busy... but since you are all experts in the field, I value your opinions greatly and it would make this little research project even better. I'll try to make it short, I was able to create a little survey link with 10 questions. ..and hopefully it will work! (a sample question is, "do you like music on blogs?") Anything not listed on the survey (hey, I was only allowed 10 questions, that's why it's labeled "PART 1"... more questions to come!) that you would like to sound off on, be my guest! There is a "pet peeve" area on the survey for things that you would like to bring up (or get off your chest). Please feel free to be as honest as you want, there is total anonymity with the survey. I'll be posting the results in a later post.
I can't wait to see your answers and opinions!~ xo
TARA'S PROBING BLOG INVESTIGATION, "PART 1" !




Hi Tara,
I just took the survey. Hope it helps. Those are questions I was wondering about myself as I'm planning my blog and website. I would love to hear what everyone says. I love that blanket, too cute. Have a great day!

One thing to add to my survey answers - I use a blog reader to keep up with the blogs I enjoy reading...it automatically updates them for me. I use Great News (http://www.curiostudio.com/) - Google also offers a similar program.

Tara, What a fun little survey to take. Your blog is one of my favorites and I am always checking it frequently to see any new posts have been added. I love the design of your blog page, your photos and your stories. The length of your posts are always perfect, not to long and not to short and so interesting to read. I have a long, long way to go on my blog, (I am new to this "blogging world"). Your blog is a great inspiration. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful photos and stories.

Tara, Thanks for the interesting survey. I adore your blog and have found a number of great blogs through yours. I am quite a simple blogger, and so enjoy all the creative talents of others.

hey Tara....i took the survey, but wanted to let you know I choose both answers for number 8, because my choice was a little of both worlds and there was no option for that!! hopefully that doesn't mess up your totals.

Hey Tara, glad to help with your investigating.
I really didnt have answer for the pet peeve part except for the music, I always have the volume off because it annoys me.
Have a great weekend :)

Hey, I thought that was a good survey. I was able to voice a few things that I would change if I could. Your blog is beautiful and a treat to visit. I have a lot to learn about blogging. My blog was supposed to showcase my aprons - I need to spend more time creating them!
Blessings, Kim C.

I just took the survey - great questions. I wonder those things myself...I'm curious what you'll do with the info. I want to re-do my blog some, so it'd be great to know what people are looking for. Thanks! (Your blog is beautiful, by the way...).

Hi Tara-
I just took your survey. I have to second the poster above me. I LOVE that rag quilt in the photo. It's too cute!

After taking your survey, I realized most of my favorite blogs have really great banners. It's very interesting.
I hope you'll post your results!
Thanks,
Susan
