  6. 1. It was interesting to see that more than 50% of bloggers post during business hours. Especially due to the perception that employers prefer for employees to not be on the Internet so viewers numbers would be interesting to see.

    Also found it interesting that 60% of bloggers are men. When in my mind, the blogosphere consisted of mostly women.

    2. I’ve decided my blog title will be, Taylor’s Takeaways

    3. I do have separate gmail account up and running.
