BDSM educator and princess Lolita Wolf blogs at Lolita’s Predictions and Predilections.
When did you start blogging?
I am a “preblogger.” I started an email newsletter 13 years ago that was sent to over 1400 email addresses and was hosted on several BBS’s and websites. Over the years it has morphed into a blog.
What do you like about blogging?
I like connecting with people and inspiring them. So often I get feedback in person or via email that I have made a difference in their lives. I consider this a form of activism. I am also a bit of an exhibitionist.
Is blogging a major or minor way of connecting to other people for you?
My P+P has made me a minor celebrity over the years. I do have a sense of community through the NYC Perverts Saloon and getting to know people through LJ. But if you mean do I hook up through my blog? Not really. I do that in person.
Where’s your blog? Do you use a free hosted service (Blogger,Wordpress, Livejournal, AOL, Google Pages, etc.) or do you have your own domain and web server?
I have had a Blogger since 2003. There’s also an LJ account which contained all that is in my Blogger. I own a domain name (leatheryenta.com) and I heard that I can have Blogger host my blog at that domain so I am thinking of making that switch. I need to research that a little more (or maybe my Blog Mommy can help with that).
What do you do to promote your blog or your writing (using tags in your post, blog roll, del.icio.us, Digg, Pingoat)?
tags, blog roll, Pingoat, email signatures, putting my blog address on my class handouts.
