		<description>Great post, you've done a lot of hard work writing this post and it shows. Keep em comin. I've just started my business in Brisbane and blog design is one area I hope to cater to. Check it out at www.mootywebdesign.com.au

Bl*gger is great for quick and easy blogs that will rarely get major recognition but wordpress blogs are the way to go.

You know whats funny, your comment form just marked me as spam because I said bl*gger. ahaha.</description>

		<description>The first question is the most potent one. It took a while for me to realise I needed to be writing for myself - or my blog had no focus and the creative outlet I was wanting it to be got clogged up. If others like what they find, jolly good. I wrote a post to this effect titled "Art or Science, Me or You?"

On template design I found my blogspot was too cluttered, with blogs simply stacking on top of each other and subjects all mixed up. So I got my feet wet with Wordpress and got hold of a Brian Gardner Revolution theme which cleans up the layout and indexes posts really well.</description>

		<description>grrr...think my comment got eaten by the internet monster.

I found this post via a comment you left for Ali on Our Patch.  Still making my way through your very useful archives.  :-)

I was wondering if and when you have time, whether you'd be able to give me some specific feedback on my blog.  I'm really enjoying it and like to do anything I attempt to the best of my ability so I'm doing my best to learn ways to improve what I'm doing.  I really value your opinion but understand if you don't have time.

I have tried other templates but had trouble using them so have ended up using a basic template with a few tiny changes - thanks to you encouraging me to learn a small amount of HTML.  I'm toying with the idea of my own domain but I'm not confident it wouldn't lead me to a complete mess.  Not being very knowledgable about anything computer wise.  I'm also playing with Wordpress at the moment but not finding it easy to navigate (being used to blogger).

So I'm listening to what you're saying, even if I haven't been implementing it.

Should I request one of those reviews above or would it be better if I stayed in my "little pond" so to speak.  I'm just not sure where my blog rates - if indeed anywhere.  Don't want to stick my head out there only to get it bitten off by a shark.  LOL.

Thanks for all your great articles.  I'm finding them extremely helpful. :-)</description>

		<description>Oh dear, I got an error when I posted my comment.  Have you had a message come through from me today or has it been lost in cyberspace?</description>

		<description>Uh oh, my site has a dark background and pink text (cause I like pink). I do have a tendency to design sites that I think look good, and I don't test them out before they go live. I guess I just hope other people will like them, but I do realize I am probably putting off a lot of people that are used to more traditional color themes.</description>

		<description>I'm fairly satisfied with my blog design, though I'm getting ready to stitch together a new header pic - as soon as I install the proper photo editing program!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Definitely a great food for thought post.  I'm looking forward to your switch to Wordpress and the resulting how-to/my experience post.</description>
