		<description>jeannie - It&#039;s great to hear that the post triggered some new insights into your blogging perspective. Blogging about a smaller niche, surely helps in targeting what you should be writing about. Makes for a calmer state of mind. :-)

JWRmedia - I agree. Sticking with your topic, and having a plan from the start is very important.

Sadia - Dedication and enjoying your topic can take a blog to great accomplishments. Why blog when you&#039;re not having some fun?

Thank you all for reading!</description>

		<description>I agree with you entirely ! 
I started blogging since Sept. 2008 and have come to realize that a lot of fervor and dedication is required; moreover as you mentioned  one needs to develop on an idea and expand on it. At the same time the key is to enjoy it.
Will drop by again, take care.</description>

		<description>I enjoyed this article, but the point I agree with the most would be that of picking a topic and sticking with it. There&#039;s nothing more annoying than when a blog constantly changes what it centers around.</description>

		<description>so my problem is definitely with quitting. but not because i wasn&#039;t seeing results - i really don&#039;t care wow many people read my blog - i was writing because i love to write. i quit writing because of going back to school. ok, really that&#039;s just an excuse. the truth is i couldn&#039;t think of anything real to write about anymore. parenting, design, politics, community are all pretty scattered and honestly i was getting bored with those topics. i can&#039;t stand writing fluff and i hate publishing short posts. i think the best piece of advice i got from your post here is to pick a single topic and to think of it as a marriage. my only problem is narrowing it down! thanks for the post, though - it certainly triggered some thought :)</description>
