1. A big election that you care about is coming up. Do you….
o Pretend you don’t know who to vote for, so lots of people will post arguments for you to read?
o Make fun of everyone running, event the person that you support?
o Blog about actually voting, but that’s it?
· Post lots of news links, covering all sides fairly equally?

7. Finally, why do you blog?
· To think out loud a little, and get opinions in return

o For your own self-amusement, really
My choices revealed that I am a pundit blogger. The official result was, “Your blog is smart, insightful, and always a quality read. You're up on the latest news, and you have an interesting spin on things.
Of all the blogging types, you put the most thought and effort into your blog. Truly appreciated by many, surpassed by only a few.”
I cannot agree more with the result, that I put the most thought and effort into my blog. This is the reason why I only have one blog at the moment. But I do not claim that my blog is appreciated by many and surpassed by only a few. I may not be that interesting to some, after all. ;-)
