With our next contest coming soon (hopefully tomorrow or Thursday, I am just waiting on the arrival of the prize), I got to thinking. I'd like to run more contests in the future, and I think knowing the demographics of the readers here will help to better target what sort of prizes should be awarded for these contests, so I set up a reader survey. I think this will not only help with contests, but also with future content. I have a general idea of the answers from those of you who comment here (thank you!), but there are a lot of people who don't comment, and these are the readers I know nothing about!
The survey is anonymous and confidential (even I won't know who sent what answers!), and I appreciate all responses!
For our RSS readers, please click here to take the survey.

Becca, thank you for taking the survey, and to the others who've taken it so far!
I tried to keep it nice and short, just looking for the basics

Bekah, lol, I hope not, there were some guys who took it!
Raman, I used Survey Gizmo, which allows you to embed the survey with html, javascript, or an iframe. I used javascript.
