What is your reason/motivation for blogging?

I enjoy sharing the stuff that fascinates me, talking with other people who are interested in the same things as I am, and it gives me a creative outlet.

What is it that you find yourself blogging about, mostly the same stuff or does it vary?

It does vary, or at least I try to mix it up.  When I'm not feeling so creative I have some good stand-by's to keep me going.  Gives me some structure when the inspiration is a little thin.

What style of blogging do you tend to use: short and regular, or not so regular but long, other? And is your blogging  text + photos or do you also use audio/ video?

I mix it up.  I don't really have a strict style or type.  I have whatever interests me at the time.  I have been trying to at least include a picture/photo or video in each post though, just to break up the text and make it easier on the reader's eye.  I do try to post regularly, at least 4 days a week.

How Kath became a Geek Girl Blogger:

Well, I think I was always a bit of a geek girl, having spent my entire life with my nose in a book and being one of those people who becomes obsessed with things that interest me rather than just being interested in them.  I surprised myself by ending up in IT, because I went from being a child care worker, to library assistant... and then ended up working in library IT and really found my "place".  I started blogging a few years ago when I made the decision to take my first overseas trip (3 months in the US) for my 35th birthday.  At first it was just a blog to spur me on to the trip, then it grew into my travel blog for everyone wanting to keep up with me.  I became so hooked on blogging that I now have several of them, the two main ones being listed above.
