Friday Fun:
12 Signs of Blogging Addiction

Beware, this could be you:

  1. The ‘I’ key wears out on your keyboard from overuse.
  2. You check Technorati every hour (or is that every half hour) to see if anyone new has connected to you yet.
  3. You find yourself getting hot under the collar when your Technorati rank hasn’t changed in an entire week and you KNOW that you have gotten more links.
  4. You start to believe you are actually friends with the bloggers that you “talk” to on a regular basis in comments sections of posts.
  5. Your non-blogger friends take a collection to help you see a therapist and you use the money to upgrade your blog and get some cool hacks.
  6. Thanks to Steve Rubel, you start to believe that a “hack” is a good thing, rather than something bored and extremely intelligent teenagers do to break into company and government servers.
  7. You toss and turn all night trying to think of what you will post (write) about in your blog tomorrow.
  8. You stay up until midnight to check your PubSub PR stats to find out how you did that day.
  9. You actually have an anxiety attack about something you said in a comment section (or a post).
  10. You ponder the horrors of unvalidated RSS feeds and broken XHTML code. Whatever.
  11. You Google your name, your blog name and variations of the two more than twice a week. You ponder how you can get it as an RSS feed.
  12. You seriously start to worry that you might not get your real work done, but you can’t stay away from the “conversation.”

I will put up a post on balancing blogging with work and family later…as soon I get my balance.
