About.com Rating 5

By Linda Roeder, About.com

Do you use your real name in your diary?
Yes

Do you censor yourself in your diary?
Online when talking about my dates, since it would give my dates way too much of an upper hand.

Do you ever use fiction techniques such as imaginary dialogue?
no

Do you ever significantly edit/rewrite past entries?
Not significantly I do edit any poor grammar or update dead links.

Would you describe your diary as traditional, essay, novel, rant, letter to someone, a theme journal, or something different?
I'd say it's like a column, or a conversation with a friend.

What is one word that would describe your diary's content?
New York

As an online diarist do you consider yourself a Web celebrity, an exhibitionist, a public figure, a writer, an innovator, or something different?
A writer

How do you tackle the mechanics of Web design and how do you deal with your frustrations when you can't do what you envision.
I've done most of the design, HTML and CSS myself. When I have a problem I turn to other bloggers for guidance.

Why do you think people are interested in what you have to say?
I'm honest, self deprecating and not overly self indulgent and my readers like to hear about the things that I do in the city.

What compels you to design beautiful pages and to write from the heart (beyond just the usual question of why an online journal)?
I like putting myself out there and voicing my adventures out into the online void.
