14 Signs you may be suffering from a BCD
(Blogger Compulsive Disorder)
#14) You know what the phrase “I got Dooced today” means.
#13) You are proud of the fact that you can use conditional tags.
#12) You know what ‘HTML’ stands for.
#11) WWJKD? (What would Jason Kottke do?)
#10) You wake up in the middle of the night with a sudden urge to “ping” your blog.
#9) You’ve flirted with the idea of having your URL permanently tattooed on your forehead. (don’t laugh, it will happen, not to me but…)
#8) You know what a URL is and you’re not afraid to use one.
#7) You experience “blog envy” on a daily basis (sometimes hourly)
#6) You love Technorati. You hate Technorati. (repeat Ad Nauseum)
#5) The phrase “I have a blog, ‘ya know,” finds its way into the most mundane conversations.
#4) You utter, “I am sooo blogging that…” when any catastrophe happens, personal or otherwise, ex., a tree falls and shatters your car windshield. A post on your blog let’s readers feel your pain.
#3) New unbridled enthusiasm reading daily email hoping the content may be groundbreaking fodder for a new original post.
#2) You know that the Martian Anthropologist isn’t really an alien at all, or is he? He sure posts a lot for a human…
#1) You keep repeating, “CSS is my friend, CSS is my friend…”

Clever and funny post. I hope there is treatment for BCD, as I imagine many bloggers fall into that category.

I’m flattered to have made your list!
As a matter of fact, either tomorrow or Tuesday, the truth will FINALLY be blogged on my site about whether I’m really an alien or not.
Or will it?

Pahahaaaaaa! Gosh, I was wayyyy behind on my post! We’re all suffering. But, seriously, it is a functional impairment, at least. I identify with these, as well (especially the pinging in the middle of the night)…as in, Hubby: Your getting up? Where are you going? — Me: I have to go ping. — Hubby: Mehhhhh. LOL! Thanks for the laughs!
