[update] Many thanks to those who have bothered with the survey below. I didn't realize when I put it up how desperate the thing sounded, so I'd like to pre-empt further pleas for me to just be myself (thanks again) and explain what motivated the survey in the first place.

I posted the survey because I'm starting to get frustrated with my own weblog, and I'm not sure why. Something seems to be missing, and I hoped asking y'all what you thought might help me spice it up for my own interest.

I certainly did not intend to imply that I want to be more like other more popular weblogs so readers would like me. Such efforts spoil a weblog, as it is the editor's individuality that makes this (otherwise rather hollow) medium interesting.

[The survey is ancient history. The results were uninteresting, so I won't bother to post them.]
