What was your Cohost account / blog(s)? The Pen Monster Blog

About Your Blog
What is your Dreamwidth blog like? It’s like 2003.
What is your blog metaphor? Me Me Me
How active is it? Whenever I have something to write. Daily or every few days.
What are your most common topics? My art. Geek culture topics du jour. Stuff only old men like me care about. Music.
How do you feel about crossposting? I’ll happily spam you all.
Is your blog more text-heavy or image-heavy? Always an image, always a long ramble.
Do you paste in or link to a lot of audio or video content? Yup.
Is your blog more personal, professional, topical, or a mix? Mix.
Is it all open, all friendslocked, or somewhere in between? It’s open to everyone until they annoy or disgust me. Then those people get the boot.
What kinds of friends would you like to attract to your blog? People who are cool.
Do you participate in creative bingo, fests, challenges, memes, holiday festivities, or other blogging events? If so, what are some of your favorite ones? I’m not a joiner.
What are your policies on friending and granting access, if any? Case by base.
Your Blog-reading Habits
How often do you check your friends feed? Every time I log in and they have something new.
About how much time do you spend reading blogs? Very little time. People don’t blog now. They tweet.
How active do you like a blog to be? Enough to make me want to read but not so much it’s all I see in my feed.
What kinds of blogs or topics do you most enjoy reading? Depends on how well written it is.
What are some of your favorite individual blogs on Dreamwidth? Too early to say.
What are some of your favorite communities on Dreamwidth? Too early to say.
