Asking you some questions

We work from a queue at work, and when there is nothing in the queue, I often open up a browser window and read things from the ladies at BlogHer. You may have noticed the cute little button in the right column on my site.

I really appreciate the number of opinions and viewpoints on a huge variety of topics that these ladies offer. Most of which I had hardly thought of!

Yesterday I read this article, "Every Day Blogging Tips" by Melanie Nelson. I believe I have read blog-related articles from her before and enjoyed them. She mentioned in her article something that I have avoided so far in my blogging endeavors: asking the readers (you!) a question.

You may have noticed that I really never do this. And when I do, I hardly ever get any response. Now, I realize that 14 whole people read my blog. I know this, because I installed Google Analytic several weeks ago. Either that, or you are all reading this on your feed readers.

Anyway, not asking questions has kind of been a conscious choice for me. There are a few reasons for this, I think:

• I am not really interested in posting my personal opinions about controversial issues and then argue with people about things we might not agree on
• Most of the time when I blog, I am musing and I don't really want feedback
• Even when I have asked for feedback in the past, no one has answered...so I kind of gave up.

So here, I will do what they said, I will ask this one question: Would you like me to ask questions? And if you do, would you actually answer?
