The Friday Five is all about my blog and my blogging; and why not? My blog is about me, right?

1. How long have you had your blog?
My first entry was posted November 5, 2002. It’s nearly three years old!?!

2. What do you consider to be the main purpose of your blog?
Originally it was to improve my writing skills for professional and technical documents. Then, when I switched to WordPress, I did it to help with my understanding of PHP and integration with MySQL. And of course all along I’ve done it because it is fun.

3. If you could change something about your personal blogging style, what would it be?
I don’t know. Maybe be more forceful. I don’t necessarily try to make any cyber-enemies. And I definitely don’t want what happened to these guys to happen to me (or any other bloggers out there)

4. What are your criteria for adding someone to your friends list/blog roll?
A cool design helps, but the most important criteria for me is that they are interesting in some way. I don’t want links in my blogroll of boring blogs.

5. Name one thing that you’ve never before written about in your blog.
My sex life. And I probably won’t write about that either.
