		<description>Wednesday, I&#039;m glad the article provided you a bit of inspiration.  If I weren&#039;t such a scaredy-cat, I&#039;d check your blog out - but I&#039;m worried I might not sleep for a week!  Best of luck to you.</description>

		<description>This post really spoke to me. I often fume about the number of followers I see on blogs that I frankly do not enjoy reading. I&#039;m jealous of some of the &quot;superstar bloggers&quot; in my specialty (I&#039;m a horror movie blogger): wondering how can they get so much traffic when they can&#039;t spell, aren&#039;t nice, brag about themselves, etc. You&#039;ve reminded me that I need to worry less about some popularity contest and more about improving my own work. I needed to read this today. Thanks.</description>

		<description>Pam, as an outside observer stumbling across your blog for the first time, I am quite impressed!  I can imagine if I was in the shoes of a hiring manager (as in example 3), I would look at your blog and Twitter presence as serious evidence of your passion, drive, and expertise.  Best of luck to you.</description>

		<description>What a terrific article, Ryan -- very helpful!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&#039;m a marketing person currently looking for a new job. I decided to take the plunge and start blogging a few months ago, both to keep my technical skills sharp and to demonstrate that I know how to research, write, etc. It&#039;s a lot of fun -- it&#039;s taken over my life. ;-) I&#039;m pleased that my blog seems to have caught on a bit and that I get some daily traffic. But you&#039;re right, I shouldn&#039;t be as worried about traffic -- it&#039;s about creating a personal brand via thoughtful content that people (hopefully) find useful.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pam</description>
