But P.T. Barnum never said that. Seriously, look it up. :) We may not be suckers any longer, but we still tend to accept things we hear repeated by others, eh? Nice manifesto.

Just Google 'Gaping Void' and 'Blogspoke' and some should come up. I'm doing a little questionnaire. Would you consider helping me out? A Questionnaire for Popular Bloggers, As you’ve been either a recipient or a candidate for a blogging award I must assume that your blog is quite popular. At my blog www.blogspoke.com I have just written a post that has a questionnaire relating to the topic ‘Why I blog’ and I thought it would be pertinent to get some insight from the minds of those who obviously have put a lot of effort into their blogging experience. The post can be found at <a href="http://www.blogspoke.com/page/blogspoke?entry=so_you_re_a_blogger." rel="nofollow">http://www.blogspoke.com/page/blogspoke?entry=so_you_re_a_blogger.</a> If you can answer the ten easy questions (in the Comments link) that would be great, but if you could take the time to really let my readers know what you think about blogging (from your heart, mind, and soul) that would be appreciated immensely. We look forward to hearing about what inspires you to make those little ‘ticking’ noises on your keyboard, and on what makes your brain ‘tick’. Sincerely, Jesse S.
