How long have you been blogging?
Actually since april 20, 2007. I started a blog once upon a time in 2005 but I only posted once and cannot remember the name and/or the password so I am only counting this one.
Are you trying to make money online or are you in it just for fun?
Money, you can make money? Actually, (wow, two actuallies in a row) I am probably going to have ads added to my sidebar next week. Fair warning, guys.
What inspired you to blog and who are your mentors?
I am not sure that anyone inspired me to blog. I just wanted a space to write. I had been reading MamaDrama in the Houston Chronicle. I am, or was, an online newspaper junkie. I used to read 19 papers daily. Jenny and Min made me laugh and still do. I started clicking on their commenters links and before you knew it, I was all over the world. I don't know that I count them as mentors but The Dingo's Got My Barbie; Pensieve; Anecdotes, Antidotes and Anodes; the Three Dog Blog; and the Anglophile Football Fanatic among others have amused me, inspired me, made me laugh, made me think, and made me grateful for new friends.
What 3 things do you love about being on line?
I love meeting new people and hearing other opinions.
I love sharing the joys and frustrations of everyday life with everyday people.
I love learning new things about the world and about myself.

Ok, so how do you make money doing this blogging thing? Swampy was our inspiration, too. Blogging has been a great release for NLM the absolute king of useless knowledge! And it's been fun for me to see what all I can fit into a 150 pixel x 150 pixel piece of artwork. May we all have many more years of blogging bliss!
