		<description>Hey Ralph,

Blogging is definitely something important for everyone whether it&#039;s just a way to express how you&#039;re feeling that day to whomever may come by or whether you&#039;re teaching something how to do something. Sticking with it is key but only if it truly makes you happy.

I didn&#039;t realise I hadn&#039;t answered the question there. Thanks for pointing that out. I hope this reply helps a bit to answer that question, however.

Thanks for the comment! :)</description>

		<description>I used your scan the comments technique on this post.  Your take is methodical to describe the step by which bloggers cna develop over time while the comments are more personal reflecting where they are in the process.  What strikes me is that you don&#039;t appear the answer you question - why blogging is important.  It is more about what can happen to you if you happen to get caught in this crazy activity.  I ask myself from time to time, Am I doing something important or is it just an ego trip?

		<description>Hey Karen,

Blogging with a purpose is so very important and it is truly easy to start a blog. There&#039;s really nothing to it. Technology makes it easier every day and to share what you like to talk about with a huge online community through your very own blog/website should be a great experience for anyone.

Thanks! :)</description>

		<description>Hi Eric,

Great article about blogging. You hit on the head when you wrote: &quot;Create a blog with purpose&quot;. This is very important, particularly if you want to be treated seriously and have readers return to your site. The other thing that I would recommend is to Just Do It. Get off the fence if you have been thinking of blogging. There&#039;s so much to gain and so little to lose.

I&#039;m pretty technologically-savy, but I&#039;m still amazing myself with everything that I&#039;ve been learning about blogging since I started my site. There&#039;s still so much to learn and that&#039;s exciting to me.

Karen

		<description>Tech,

I&#039;m glad you found this information useful and all. My intention with every post is for at least one person who reads it to take something away that they can use and make work in their own life.

Thanks! :)</description>

		<description>Eleanor,

Yes it&#039;s still interesting to me that blogs are what they are today. What was a journal to share your thoughts with the world is now a complete way of doing business if you can make it work. Amazing what technology and all has given to us.

I love helping people and talking to people through mine and through their own and will be looking into making money later on down the road. Not worried so much about that part right now.

Thanks for sharing! :)</description>

		<description>Hi Eric,
Interesting piece, gave me lots to think about. I suspect that blogging has changed from what it used to be. People still create blogs for the purpose of an online journal but unless they put a lot of hard work in, 99% of these will never be seen by any one other than family and friends. There&#039;s nothing wrong with that because that&#039;s who they were written for in the first place.

I remember when I first heard of blogs, several years ago obviously, but back then the idea of a company blog was foreign. With the exception of starting my own version of an online journal as discussed above, I did nothing with blogging until very recently. When I found out that people come on the web with the sole intention of writig a blog to quit their day job, I was stunned ;)</description>
