    Whoops... didn't realise you commented. Yes, perhaps the phrasing affected this question. Something for IDA to look into the next time they conduct it.

    Found the PDF file. Now wondering whether the phrasing in the question ('Creation of blogs' instead of 'Creating/Updating blogs') caused this anomaly (or unexpected result). E.g. I created my blog almost four years ago. If I were to take this survey, I'd probably put 'no' for the 'Creation of blogs'.

    Thanks for sharing these slides. I'm surprised that the percentage of bloggers among 15-29-year-olds is so low. By the way, are the survey results posted online somewhere? Where?
