Blogging survey results, as promised! Even though we didn’t quite get to the magic 1,000 mark once junk entries were taken into account, I am going to start rolling out my survey results. Hopefully I will be able to get through them before my vacation so I can incorporate any feedback required to make them useful.
Todays result is how long people have been blogging and there were 911 useful entries once I had trimmed out junk and made each entry numeric. When people gave me a range, such as 2002-2003, I took the earliest year.

Summary
As you can see, the vast majority of people started blogging in the last few years. I am not entirely surprised, but with 17% or so saying you have been blogging more than 5 years, I wonder how many others started and quit?
