Please describe your blog
My blog is a mix of Political opinion, Religious inspiration, motivation, humor, things I find interesting and being a poet I include poetry that I personally wrote.
Describe the main purpose of your blogging, what are you trying to accomplish?
My goal on my blog is to give some inspiration to others, some food for thought, a laugh or two and I am conserned with the way our country is headed Politically so I give my political opinion on candidates and issues as to get people thinking and studing the issues. I want people to be informed before they pull that lever for any particular candidate.
What do you blog the most about?
If you include my poetry probably inspirational and motivational topics, but with my strong Political views I would say it is still pretty much a conservative political blog.
What kind of blogs make you angry?
I do not like blogs with a lot of foul language. Blogs that put down one Religion or another are a real turn off also. If you have a particular belief, Expound, write and build upon that, not putting something that others hold sacred down.
Give five of your best blogging tips.
Just start writing and edit later, you cannot edit a blank sheet.
Write on things that you believe in or really want to share.
Keep it family friendly there is enough profanity on the internet already you don't need to add more.
Quality, focus on the quality of your writing not on quantity. If you have superior content that is much better than just a lot of articles. People will read good content even if it is fairly long.

no adult content, anything promoting immoral behavior, or downing another group's religious beliefs.

3 weeks.
About how many hours per day do you spend blogging?
I spend 3 or 4 hours looking for ideas and reading, researching etc. Not necessarily for any article I am writing on, but to keep informed and to come up with ideas for future improvements, things to make me a better blogger, ideas to build traffic etc.
Do you track RSS feeds and if so, how many do you usually track daily?
Yes but not necessarily daily tracking.
Do you use Digg, and why or why not?
Yes I submit articles to them as they have a tough audience and it builds exposure. When you put effort into writing you want to share it.
Do you use Stumbleupon, and why or why not?
Yes I love Stumbleupon.

Probably The Drudge Report. Drudge is the King.

Don't work 7 days a week on business. Our Heavenly Father made The Sabbath day Holy for our well being and happiness. I think we have become a world of Sabbath breakers. Several thousand years of human history man was much more faithful about this. I think there is a message there at least food for thought.
