		<description>Hi Judy,

I totally agree.  Blogging is very hard work, and time consuming.  Selling children&#039;s furniture online now must be even more difficult with the economy as it is.  

Hang in there, perseverance often pays off.</description>

		<description>Blogging is hard work. There are no free lunches out there or free furniture for that matter. I can&#039;t believe how hard it is to build a successful website and get noticed. I&#039;ve been trying to get my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.home-decor-store.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;home decor&lt;/a&gt; site off the ground for awhile, but it&#039;s been difficult. I think I have a good niche, but selling childrens furniture online has become a bit difficult.</description>

		<description>@ Catherine, in response to &quot;But how did you know that those blogs went downhill before you started visiting them?&quot;

I should have said that either they went downhill before I started visiting them, or they were never uphill in the first place. In other words, I see good blogs, I see bad blogs, but I don&#039;t see any blogs that were good when I started reading them and then went downhill.

		<description>Hi Natasha,

Blogging can be time consuming and when life happens, the blog gets put on the back burner.  Keeping up on comments is important, so your readers/commenters know you care.  

Hi Catherine,

Posting seven days a week, is a huge undertaking.  I find posting Monday through Friday works well for me.  I notice dips in traffic on weekends, but overall, my traffic continues to grow, so I&#039;m happy.  

If I go on my blog on the weekends it&#039;s to check for comments and do some behind the scenes maintenance.

I don&#039;t think if you took weekends off from posting it would affect your readership.  Anyone who blogs know we all need time off for more important things, like family and friends.  Plus, skipping days may help to build anticipation...&quot;what will she post on Monday?&quot;...

		<description>Hi Barbara - that is a good point.  I have started cutting down to only one post at weekends.  But I&#039;m wondering whether to eliminate weekend posts totally.  I know you and many other bloggers don&#039;t do them.  And it is so much extra writing.

I think before I got a reader, I assumed that everyone just checked out your blog every day and if you hadn&#039;t posted they didn&#039;t come back!  Maybe it&#039;s not necessary to post everyday?
