		<description>Thanks for the great tips!  I notice that when I post elsewhere, as I do occasionally, more visitors visit my blog.</description>

		<description>Great post! It&#039;s funny that the things that take your blog to the next level are all basic things (grammar, friendship, consistency, etc.). Makes me realize I need to focus on that and not get caught up in other bloggy stuff! :)

		<description>Toni - Thanks so much for taking the time to answer me personally.

I&#039;ll take your advice and bump up the SEO knowledge.  I&#039;ve stayed away from that because it didn&#039;t seem all that interesting to me.  And laundry is :)  So it is much easier to focus on.

Yes, I just launched my new website this week! I&#039;m thrilled with it!

Thanks again for getting back with me!  Can&#039;t wait to meet all of the fab ladies at Savvy!

		<description>For 6 1/2 weeks I think you are doing well. I wish I could remember my stats for my first few months, I am sure I didn&#039;t have many readers at all! Since you have a very specialized blog (laundry) think learning SEO, so that would be a big benefit to your site. You are probably going to get more visitors from searches than anywhere else.
I see you are already on thesis and wordpress, so you started well! I look forward to meeting you at Savvy!
And remember growing a blog takes time. :)

		<description>So what do you do if you&#039;re faithfully implementing all of your action steps and still not gaining much of a readership?

I&#039;m working hard to do a  great job on all of your bullets.  The only ones I haven&#039;t worked on are learning a little SEO and partnering with another blogger.

Yet I still have a pretty low average number of visits per day.

Any suggestions?  I&#039;d love to hear any and all advice and (nice) criticism!

I should mention that I&#039;ve only been blogging for 6 1/2 weeks.  Think my expectations are too high?

Thanks for any help you can offer! :)

		<description>Thanks for all the good advice. I have to admit I was on a roll, last year, with blogging and then when to Europe. I did get a little discouraged with things that were happening within some blogs. I also go sidetracked with school starting etc and then just did not blog. I really want this to succeed. How to decide your niche for your blog?
I also need to get my family on board, that this would be a job if I got it going. I might not make much, but I would feel fulfilled. Let my creativity out, while being a stay at home mom.
Thanks for sharing.</description>
