2014 Survey Results
/
Thanks to everyone who filled out the survey for me! Twelve people took the survey for me, and I really appreciate the time and thought you put into it. Your insight has helped me see what I can write about in the future and different topics you're interested in.
Obviously twelve is not a representative sample, but I feel like I sat down for a ten-minute conversation with twelve people about the blog. And I know more now than I did before the survey - so it's good enough for me!
If you wanted to take the survey but didn't have time, I'm leaving it open for now. You can check out the link here! I'd still love to hear what you think.
And here are some of the numbers for data geeks. Some of the respondents didn't answer all the questions, so that's why the numbers don't always add up!

- 17 or younger: 1
- 18-29: 8 (makes sense - this is the age group I'm in and most of my friends!)

A lot of you wrote really encouraging comments, and I appreciate that so much! Sometimes I feel like I'm writing into a big open universe that doesn't always talk back to me. Comments are like candy for bloggers - they encourage us and give us motivation to keep writing, because we know we're making a difference in someone's life.
