Yes, it was just closed on Monday. Sorry about that. There were over 800 responses within that period of time, which in my opinion is REALLY amazing!

Just starting after a few weeks holiday (we’re in Europe you know) just missed this survey any earlier. Found it was closed.
Already sufficient responses?
Look forward to the results.

As a non-librarian library blogger, I am eagerly awaiting the results of your pool. Good on ya for putting it together.

Thanks for your comment, Miss Yasmin. I think it’s a sad comment on our society that we really should be pleased by having that option; it SHOULD be that way in any survey. I actually have had two people answer “other” on the gender question and was glad that they could feel represented properly in the survey.

Good work on the first question!
Made me smile with delight.
While I ID as F, many of my friends live in a grey fuzzy area and it’s marvellous to see them included.
I only wish they were librarian bloggers so they could enjoy ticking their box of choice here.
*three cheers*

Just wanted to add my thanks to the chorus. I filled it out even though I don’t really consider myself a blogger.

But, since I’m a Librarian and I have a blog – of sorts – I wanted to contribute.

One other comment, I also think there should have been a third option for pseudononymous blogs.

I wish you’d had an option for pseudononymously blogs, not just anonymously. There’s a difference.

Cool, I’m interested in seeing the results, especially geographic location. Everyday I look at the hits to our blog, and everyday we might get 1 from the Midwest. I’m originally from the Midwest, so it interests me that we have so few readers from that region.

Covering people who used to blog but stopped would indeed be an interesting addition. Also whether bloggers have switched software (and why). Sound like good projects for some MLS students somewhere. Another line of inquiry that you didn’t follow is: Was your blog added to or a replacement for an existing site or started on its own? (For me, the former. Probably a rare case, so maybe not worth asking after all.) Oh, and in these surveys, I think “peer pressure” needs to be added as a reason for blogging. And “had to do it for a class”, if that’s not already there.
