P.S. By way of clarification, that last sentence should read more coherently as... I enjoy comments not just from the blogger, but from readers as well. JLP throws the topic on the table with his thoughts, and then I love to see what others think as well, and then see his follow-up. You’re welcome.

I was just thinking that I need to do better at engaging my readers. By that, I mean responding to comments, which I don't do as often as I should. Miguel,

Thanks!

Engaging commentary is the key to getting my attention and ATF gets excellent points on that score. Not just from the blogger, but from readers, as well. I’d have to second what S says.

I'm amazed how different the pfblogs tend to be from, well, <i>all</i> other blogs genres I'm familiar with. There are some really great pfblogs that I just can't get into because the authors never venture into the comments, even when the thread is really long.

As a new blogger of 2 months, it's encouraging to see that the road to building traffic is steady as she goes. I am impressed with the sites I have visited and draw strength in knowing that everyone has a starting point. I am also pleased to see that people are willing to share their experiences (good & bad) with other bloggers, lots of opportunities to learn and grow together. Thanks for sharing your story JLP.
