Welcome Polli from the pond to a Blog Interrogation. Relax and tell us all you know about your blog and your approach to blogging. This information is better out than in. 5 questions, 5 answers - shoot !



Polliwog's Pond. I think my 'Saturday Stuff' feature would best illustrate me, my life and the flavor of my blog in general. I'm an information junkie, and I like quick bites of interesting stuff. Heck, I just like stuff!

Um ... starting it? Hee hee! I am a behind-the-scenes kinda girl so having my OWN blog has been a bit scary and overwhelming. I'm having fun, but I still feel really panicky and sweaty every time I hit that publish button. Other than that, I think I should have gone with a 2-sidebar format. My sidebar drives me batty. I'm always fussing with it and never really liking it.

Hmm ... maybe Polliwog's Bog? I like my blog name. It will always remind me of my dad -- who gave me the name Polliwog -- and my life is rather like a pond. There is always a toad lurking 'round the corner isn’t there?

My blog takes ZERO writers! Really! I'm not a writer, though I do have access to an editor for a little help here and there. I prefer to think of what I do on my blog as 'talking' rather than writing. Hopefully no one will tell me to shut-up anytime soon.

Ooh good question. Honestly, if I ever wrote something so funny that our friend Bob of Bobbarama.com felt compelled to publish it on his blog, I'd die and go straight to heaven. I'm a wanna-be humorist you see. Oh and maybe The Anchorage Daily News because all my ex-boyfriends would see it.

Ed extracts the bones from the blog interrogation

Thanks, Polli, for entering into the spirit of the questions and taking literally 5 minutes out of your life on the pond to reveal all. Well, almost all!

Despite intense interrogation, we still don't know how much you keep in the Polliwog's Pond "Swag" shoebox under your bed, and we never got to know the names of those poor besotted boys from Anchorage who never got to marry you. Maybe one day?

And what is this about not enjoying the limelight? You better get used to it en route to becoming the Accidental Blog Queen of the internet . As you take your Oscar for best ever blog, you are going to announce, "Let this be an inspiration to you all. I didn't mean to be this successful, really, I didn't, I don't even like writing and I achieved all this on one little sidebar!!! Just imagine what you real writers out there with two sidebars can achieve."

(And at least the winning prize will be publicly known, and answer that other nagging question we had too.)

Thanks a lot, you can relax back into anonymity now.

So, who is next up? Lord Likely is the next person who dared to send me the answers to the 5 questions. To be honest, he is a despicably funny and way too witty cad for me. I feel the interrogator may well be the humiliated one in this next episode. Short ,sharp and to the point - a blogger's dream with a few backlinks for good measure.
