		<description>Hi Wendi, 

You know, I went over to your beautiful blog and stared at it. I&#039;ve come up with the thought it&#039;s gender neutral. 

As for inspirational writing, I&#039;m with you. Although some feel it&#039;s a woman&#039;s domain, I&#039;ve read many blogs written by guys who share the same and do quite well. I do wonder though, if guys are less apt to comment on inspirational topics. Hmmmm.</description>

		<description>Hi Barbara,

I don&#039;t know that i would consider the new theme at LLI masculine or feminine, I&#039;m interested in your thoughts on that. Does  one sex over the other have dibs on lighthouses on the stars?:)

I know that some people consider Inspirational Writing to be a woman&#039;s domain but I disagree. Men like Lance are smashing that misnomer right out of the ballpark. Everyone is entitled to equal inspiration!

Great topic today and really makes us think about where things stand. Thanks!

		<description>Hi Tony, 

What I like about your blog is, it&#039;s You (and Cassy). As much as we may worry about what others think about our blogs, like you said, they do have the option to click off, too. (Just as we do when we land on one that doesn&#039;t appeal to us). 

In blogosphere we&#039;re not going to please everyone, nor should we try. I think it&#039;s when we begin to mirror others, we begin to lose our authenticity. As others mentioned previously, what holds the most weight for readers is the content and how easy a blog is to navigate. If those two criteria are met, I think any blog can be a success. 

P.S. Your cartoons and art work are phenomenal. Thank you for sharing your talent.</description>

		<description>Hi Zeenat, 

I see that. You&#039;ve removed a lot of the pink. But, as you may have noticed from the previous comments, it&#039;s really not the colors that matter to others, as much as it is the content. And since your content is so solid, I&#039;m guessing you could &quot;pink it up&quot; and not lose a reader one. 

Happy tweaking Zeenat. I know you love doing that as much as I do. :)</description>

		<description>Hi Barb, 

I agree, your previous theme was very welcoming. Warm and cozy feeling. But I have no doubt you&#039;ll have your new theme looking fabulous in no time. 

In the meantime, keep the coffee pot on. Watching you &quot;remodel&quot; will be fun to watch as we sip and share. :)</description>
