		<description>Hi MonkMojo,

Grab yourself an &quot;A&quot;.  :) 

Your cartoons are priceless.  Having fun with a blog is part of the process and part of the success.  It&#039;s obvious you enjoy the process.</description>

		<description>Almost forgot to turn in my assignment!

“How do you define success in blogging?”

I consider myself successful if I’m having fun. When I start feeling a little burnt I take a break. 

I’m thrilled when someone enjoys one of my comics, but that is not the bottom line for me. I need to have fun doing it, even if it sucks. Hope that makes sense.

		<description>Hi J.D.

I like how you worded that:  &quot;success is when you pass your tests for success.&quot;

Those are four great &quot;tests&quot; for your blog posts.  It makes a difference when we stop, if only for a moment, before hitting that publish button, and ask pertinent questions like you do.  

That&#039;s a superb idea.  Thank you for sharing.</description>

		<description>I think success is when the response equals the challenge.  From a practical standpoint, I think success is when you pass your tests for success.

For example, on my MSDN blog, I have the following tests for success:
- Do I consistently flow value for my readers?
- Do I share my most valuable lessons learned for effectiveness on the job?
- Do I continue to improve the consumption/absorption of my posts?
- Do I create posts that say what I want them to say?
