The challenge is set, the request is clear, would you dare asking your readers on your blog what they want to know about you?
I am one of those people who automatically think – who would care to know more about me? That was until I read a blog post by Rita from The Crafty Expat and realised, that I indeed was interested in her answers, so maybe others would be interested in mine. Who knows, I may find out more about what you are interested in for future blogs or it could send me on a path to self discovery. Either way, it could be a hoot and I am not one to turn down a play date!
Rita mentioned the reason she decided to do this was because she had questions going through her mind whilst reading blogs. Those questions were not necessarily related to any post but more specific to the blogger. I can relate to this, so I have decided to play and would like to take the opportunity to ask you guys about yourselves should you wish to play along too.
Anyway, enough guff! Ask away – what is it that you, my readers, would like to know about me?
The rules are simple: It can be anything you want to ask me, no restrictions. Be creative and imaginative! And, in a future post (presumably the one following this), I will answer 10 of these questions.
So, fire away!
Till next time….

Oh I love this idea! Do you mind if I borrow it?
@jenn unger I sure hope you do.
Just remember to let me know if you decide to play along
Oh I love this idea! Do you mind if I borrow it?
I know you have to eat special foods for your diet, what is the strangest but best food combo you like or eat often? Love strange-but-good meals
Fabulous idea Becc. And I thought Catarina’s idea was a good one to. I noticed Rita mentioned your illness. Do you find it still effects you, and how did you balance your blogging life with illhealth? OK that’s kind of 2 questions – sorry for cheating:-)
@artyyah Cheating? I’ll let you off this time
Hi Becc, You’ve got so many great questions here! Thanks so much for playing along! I read quickly the others and I think no one asked you this: I want to know, when you were at your lower in your sickness, what was the main reason that kept you strong in your battle and gave you strength to find a solution or a cure to your sickness?
What a great idea !!!!
If you could have 6 people over for dinner – who would they be and why ?Have a great week !

So many times I’ve tried to comment, although hat Livefyre thing has always had me stumped! Love this idea! You strike me as a bit of a glamourous type- what makes you feel most glamorous? Any tips?

@HeleninHeels I love anyone that sees me as Glam!! I’m am so chuffed with that comment
Here is a question for you Becc. what makes you laugh the most?
What do you dislike in other blogs?
Love the idea of this - what is the trait you dislike most in people and why? Emily @ Have a laugh on me
Love the post! I really look up to you and all the posts you do, I think they are amazing,
So let me ask you, what do you think has changed your life the most and would you get rid of it if you could?
I love this idea, loved Rita’s post also.
Mum has extreme allergies and intolerances and occasionally still eats what she loves because she says from time to time the pain and flare up is worth it – do you have a food like that? I’d love to know what food you miss the most (and if you still eat it on occasion like mum does).
I love this idea, and have been thinking to do it myself.
What couldn’t you live without?
Ahh hence my crazy posts…like today’s.
xx
@Sp3llB1nd3r I loved the post – I love random, I love crazy
What would you like to be when you grow up???
What is the first thing you’d choose to do if given a free morning/ afternoon off?
Visiting from #teamIBOT
What is your favourite book and why? what does your choice tell us about you? I guess that’s actually three questions. Sorry about that xx
@CoTaaB Three questions – cheeky!!
Hi Bec, you are brave! I’m not sure I could open up my blog to questions for fear of a question being asked that I’m not comfortable to answer! My question to you would be regarding weight loss. I believe you lost a lot of weight and have kept it off. How did you do it, how do you maintain that loss and how do you keep motivated to keep going? I lost a lot of weight during 2011. In 2012 I lost the plot. Now in 2013 I’m pretty sure that the majority is back on. I am too scared to weigh myself. I need some mojo back! Min
@_MinsMash Not sure if it’s brave – by choosing 10 questions, I have the right to skip those that are too hard. Is that cheating?
If you could spend a month not worrying about money, errands or chores, but doing whatever you wanted to do, what would you do with your time?
I’m actually the reverse – what I like (or find interesting) is what people choose to talk about – and thus the random comments (because I may not be interested in joining the conversation so I move on to the next blog). I guess I find it interesting to see what people find interesting (and just because it doesn’t interest me, I can see it interests a lot of people and vice versa). So I think it’s telling what you (you, any blogger, not you Becc) choose to talk about – so no questions from me, just like to go with the flow.
What makes you uniquely Australian?
Hey Becca! I often find that I will “reward” myself after a long workout with junk food and that can be counter productive, what do you do to reward yourself after you have a hard workout?
Hi Becca, What really helps keep you motivated (the key factors) in the Blogging world and in staying slim and healthy.
Becc, why don’t you do a survey (there are plugins for that) and let your readers tell you what subjects they are interested in.
Alexa tells me that most of my readers are educated women with high salaries. That gives me an idea of what subjects they are most likely interested in. Why don’t you check on Alexa, or somewhere else to get a profile of your readers and what topics they most likely are interested in.
@catarinaalexon1 I have been meaning to get around to the survey, however I thought in the mean time, this was a cute way of getting around it and it also supported a fellow blogger.
I will check out Alexa….I am still trying to get my head around profiling my readers. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
Becc, as far as I’m concerned I check the about page when I want to know who the blogger is and a few facts and figures about him/her.
The articles I write are about subjects I find interesting and should hopefully people all over the world will find interesting too. According to Alexa most of my readers are educated women who earn a lot of money.
If you want to know what readers want to read about in your blog, do a survey (there are plugins for that and then you will find out. Give quite a few alternatives to chose from. Check if Alexa gives you an idea of who your readers are. That will also give you an idea about topics to write about.
Wow… I would not be brave enough for this. What is your favorite form of exercise?
I wrote a book called Chess Is Child’s Play – Teaching Techniques That Work, which teaches parents and educators to teach young children to play chess. Since you have a son, I wondered if you feel chess should be mandatory in schools (as part of the math program). Does your son play? Do you get a chance to play chess with him? I’m curious about your thoughts on the subject!
Love the concept for this blog article. It’s wonderfully brave and innovative. My hat is off to you!
@yourchesscoach My son is only 3.5yrs, so no I haven’t yet brought out the chess board. What is the appropriate age to learn?
