		<description><![CDATA[Hi Elizabeth!

Welcome to my blog!

Thank you!

You&#039;ll get to a point when you will get your template the way you want it.  I use to do the same thing. ;)

It&#039;s always a good idea to write down your ideas...wouldn&#039;t want to forget them, now would you.

Have a great weekend!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great post Evelyn! I have to constantly remind myself that it is a marathon and not a sprint. Your words of wisdom are definitely hitting home and encouraging me to keep plugging away. I have been enjoying creating my new blog, though I sometimes think I need to get away from the computer, as I can easily spend hours tweaking the layout or jotting down post ideas, ha ha. Anyway, thanks for the advice from one vegan chica blogger to another!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for this post!  I still feel like a new blogger, even though I started in 2003.  My newest blog has been up for a little under a year, and you are right - when you aren&#039;t focused on money, and connect with other bloggers, opportunities come.

I also find that sharing useful information as you get it with other bloggers is helpful - even if you are new. I just finished my first crack at my media kit, and the first thing I wanted to do was share my experience with my blogging community!

I&#039;ll be reading your blog - I have gone from a size 4 to a 14, and it looks like you have some great tips to help me on my road back to... well... an 8!  Have a beautiful day!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Jeevan,

I knew I remembered you.  You&#039;ve refreshed my memory.  You won a blog engage contest, if I&#039;m not mistaken.  I didn&#039;t realize that you closed down your blog.

I&#039;ll definitely check out your new blog.

Yes, consistency is key.  Thanks for sharing that helpful tip!!  ;)

Take care,

Evelyn]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Tatianna!

Thank you for stopping by and commenting!!

I wouldn&#039;t worry so much about SEO, it can definitely block creativity.  I wrote a guest post for We Blog Better, I had no clue about SEO or keyword search.  Long story short, one of my posts made the first page of google.  So it pays to let your creative juices flow.  Just make sure your tags include keywords that are in your headline and within your post and you should be fine.

If you think you were meant to be a writer, then you should go for it.  Your grammar is good if not better than some English speaking bloggers I know.  Don&#039;t worry so much about your grammar, it will come the more you write.

Take care,

Evelyn]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for sharing the tips, Evelyn :) I am glad that you enjoy blogging. 

Well, I started to blog about blogging in 2009 :D (I began with technology but later switched to Blogging, thanks to Blogengage and my blogging friends :D).

I have learned a lot of things since then. I knew the importance of blogging, marketing and networking, but I didn&#039;t do them consistently (so many excuses for that!).

And last year, I shut down my old blog and decided to start a new one - focusing on doing things consistently.

My best advice to a new blogger is: Be consistent with whatever you do :D

Anyways, nice post!
