		<description>Christine, I think you hit the nail on the head by saying that there are no no easy, quick fixes to having a great blog. I started a blog for my travel business in October 2006, which did increase visitors and sales. I decided to start a blog about blogging for your business based on my experience.  I&#039;ve found this latest blog has helped me evaluate what I&#039;ve done so far and see which strategies and tweaks have been most useful for the travel blog.  I also feel more at ease about experimenting on my blog about business blogs eg trying new plugins, widgets etc.</description>

		<description>Michele,
For me, I think it is also the informal norms. Each forum is different, and while I read a number of them, it&#039;s hard to remember which one tolerates what.

I agree, it&#039;s much more pleasant to engage through blogs and readers. Thanks for reinforcing the notion of not having to do it just because it was suggested!</description>

		<description>Wow--you really caught up Christine!

RE: posting to forums--you&#039;re sighting my same concern. I don&#039;t want to post just to get more exposure for my blog. I honestly get more out of posting on my blog and interacting with other bloggers and readers, so the forum suggestion may not be as good for me, I decided. I&#039;ll try to participate more, but I&#039;m not sure that I will.</description>
