		<description>Hi Steve, 

Thanks for the link, I subscribe by rss... which is not conducive with leaving comments ;-)

I found this blog after reading some of your comments on JC... you had some technorati exchange on at the time which i participated in... and somehow I won a review off you ;-)

BTW did you sell any of your sites?

Happy Christmas!

		<description>Heh heh. Way to get everyone to crawl out of their holes.
I do recall emailing you about your plans for Christmas for which never got back to me...
And yeah, where&#039;s Baron?</description>

		<description>Yes, I believe that Ryan won a board game (I ended up winning it but I don&#039;t play games and I didn&#039;t want to give out my address) as 2nd place for most comments. I recall his &quot;Lucky Charms&quot; stuffing photo and something about &quot;NOobs&quot; hahahah!

You and I met on John Chow&#039;s website. I used to comment there and I think you found me there and then started not only commenting on my site but giving me coding help and tips! And YES, you were a big help with promoting me! I felt like I had a mentor! I also noticed you were mentoring other bloggers (Gregg Hawkins I think). You definitely get around in a good way!

I don&#039;t have much traffic (still hovers around 40 visitors a day) but I do have loyal readers and readers seem to like to check in a few times a week and then read up on the latest posts and leave a flurry of comments. 

I usually get double the page views to number of visitors.

My friends tell me that they tend to check in maybe once a week or less and then just read-read-read. My friends tend not to leave comments - they&#039;ll tell me, &quot;Oh, I liked that post about...&quot;

But...only one friend of mine blogs and he isn&#039;t much of a writer...yet. He wants to be a better writer though.

ANYway, that&#039;s how we met. I ended up losing interest in the SEO and blogging-for-bucks model and more towards personal development and well, personal stories. 

Hmm. a couple of days ago someone Stumbled my &quot;Fever-ish&quot; post (under poetry??) was that you? I thought that was a funny post to have stumbled!</description>
