		<description>A couple of other potential tips: produce compelling posts; produce short posts. The first tip is self-explanatory, I think. As for short posts, very few people want to read extensively during one online visit. A short informative post will tend to get appreciation through commenting, visiting other pages on the blog, etc.</description>

		<description>This is a very nice blog,  I always persuade my clients to start a blog because of all the benefits they can bring to their own websites specially when it comes to search engine traffic and SEO tactics. of course; not every one has the ability to write but with a bit of imagination they can make it happen. Great blog!</description>

		<description>Hey Adrian!

Good point! Here in Nanaimo, BC, there doesn&#039;t appear to me more than 50 or so folks on Twitter (there may be a lot more but it&#039;s not obvious) whereas there are LOTS of folks (not surprisingly) using Facebook!

So analyzing HOW do my customers communicate is a vital part of the business marketing process as well!

Thanks for your comment!

		<description>Thanks for your comment Eric!

Looks like www.bluepop13.com is developing nicely! Sorry it took me so long to reply to your post. I&#039;ve been out in the local business community a lot more than behind the keyboard lately and it&#039;s all good!

Thanks for sticking with me!

Cheers!

		<description>Hey , that&#039;s great news Eleanor!!

Love the name! I&#039;ve always loved Gaelic!

So are you going to be doing local business marketing too?

It&#039;s funny - I just got approval from a client to build and implement a client referral campaign/contest so I&#039;m doing what I love now too!

Good news all around, eh? Spring really IS a time of new beginnings!

Llongyfarchiadau!

		<description>Hi Don,
Just wanted to stop by and let you know that I met with the business manager in my local branch today and it&#039;s official, I own my own business! It&#039;s called &#039;Dim Probs&#039; which is Welsh (well, lazy Welsh ;)) for &#039;No Problem&#039;

I&#039;m very excited (and Give A Brick has gotten under 270K with Alexa) too so all in, it&#039;s been a fun day!

Hope all is well with you,
El
