		<description>You&#039;re welcome Jen,

You&#039;ve raised an excellent point. When we blog to share our &quot;gifts&quot;, it really doesn&#039;t matter who shows up, or if anyone does. Like you said, within we know we&#039;ve done our best and have accomplished that which we set out to do. 

Building a strong platform is a wonderful idea. That way when your blog grows, and hundreds (or thousands) of readers begin to show up, your archives will be filled with quality posts - showing those who take an interest in your work, not only is your current post of the best quality, but so are those which were previously written.</description>

		<description>Barbara,
When I see numbers or comments, I recognize improvement, and then that I have touched on a need. It helps me to be encouraged, but to also know that with that comes a responsibility to keep producing the best that I can - quality posts, and to continue to appreciate every &#039;one&#039; of my readers by responding to their comments as they come in ;)
I have found most freedom to recognize the love of what I do. At first I wanted more readers, but with my blog being young still, I am using this time to really build a strong quality platform and so I am showing up not for others as much as for the vision I have to be all that I can be, a steward of the gift I&#039;ve been given. I think when we write from that responsible position, the numbers don&#039;t matter as much anymore. There is something to be said of a good post - we know when we&#039;ve done our best and with that comes an accomplished feeling regardless of who shows up! ;)
thanks for sharing these helpful blog topics! They are so enjoyable!
~Jen

		<description>Hi Mike, 

Sometimes that&#039;s puzzling, isn&#039;t it? - landing on a site that shows over a hundred thousand subscribers and the content is just so-so. 

I can relate to what you&#039;re saying about social networking. Adding that to blogging does require a lot more time, hands, and heads. Arghhhhhh! :)</description>

		<description>Hi Hilary, 

As a new blogger with other responsibilities and goals, you&#039;re smart not to get hung up on numbers. In the beginning I wasted tons of time looking at my stats, thinking ten minutes would make a difference. Ha. 

It sounds like you&#039;re enjoying the process of blogging, reading and visiting other blogs, getting your name out there, not worrying about how fast your blog grows and keeping your priorities in order. I commend you for knowing you have time for all that other &quot;stuff&quot; and for enjoying the journey.</description>
