3. Do you use other blogging sites? Why or why not?
The short answer: Yes, Blogger and LJ for historical reasons.
The long answer: I've always been resistant to journalling sites, because I feel quitely keenly about private and public lives. I'm of the view that certain things are definitely not aired in public.
So it took a long time for me to get a blog with Blogger. My RL friends kept nagging at me, until I realised it was a good site for me to write about school life (sometimes during lessons). So I signed up and I wrote about RL things then.
But then my RL friends had all moved to LJ! Cue another round of angsting. They were all into fandom as well, and had no trouble sharing both RL and fannish stuff on LJ. I wasn't as keen - I didn't want to know who was reading about my personal stuff, which meant Blogger was more my type. As for fannish stuff, I was still very much a lurker, and I hadn't found a comm I wanted to join yet.
Then I DID find a comm I wanted to join, and the rest is history.
Nowadays I tend to cross-post only fannish squee and completed fic to LJ, while the rest stays on DW. As for Blogger, I haven't been able to update it as my RL is subject to company restrictions (Long story, not at liberty to tell). But I still post to my blog now and then.
No links, because I like to keep things separate. =)
