		<description>Pretty simple the idea but difficult to implement. I'm kind of trying, willing to achieve being more that good enough in a lot of aspects, but my blog is way behind. Thanks to put some light over it</description>

		<description>Hi Trevor,

thank you for your comment.

Do you think that the blog has given you exposure that would allow for more money-making opportunities?

Best regards, Andrew</description>

		<description>I blog primarily to have an outlet for my writing. I also enjoy the interaction with my readers. It has also taught me to be more disciplined in my writing life. I do not really blog for the income it brings - that is a bonus.</description>

		<description>Hi Michael,

thank you for your comment. 

I think that passion (in the "driven" sense) is what life is about - do what you are passionate about, blog passionately about what you are passionate about. I am lucky (or cursed, depending on your perspective) to be passionate about blogging. So I blog about blogging, a very full niche but it gives me lots to write about.

I agree that it is a fantastic experience to blog :)

Cheers, Andrew</description>

		<description>I blog because I love to talk about my passions. I like to share what I know, and hear what other people know. I even like saying what I think, and having someone else completely bowl me over with their opposing arguments. It's a fantastic experience to blog. :D</description>

		<description>Hi Jeri,

I agree - we think, and then we go and post anyway :)

A thought: asking someone to pick the one blog that they can develop (i.e "doing it properly") is a bit like asking them to choose their favorite child - perhaps it is something that should not be done lightly.

Cheers, Andrew</description>

		<description>Yes, but even though you're away from the computer doing your soul searching, you try to come up with a post a day to keep the rhythm going. ;)

I agree that it has value, because we tend to lose sight of our original goals.  

My ungeekit blog is in part because I write some of this stuff anyway - and in part to experiment with the business aspect of blogging.

My smugpuppies blog is just for the joy of writing, although I haven't been able to spend much effort there lately.</description>
