		<description>I saw your comment on Writing Journey and, since I&#039;m interested in getting more comments on my blog and have started looking at the techniques others use, I followed the link here.  You have it down so expect me back often read your posts and enjoy your technique.  James</description>

		<description>Hey Bamboo I&#039;m late to the party but honored to add to your record regardless of what Tim says. The video alone was worth a comment. Good show man!</description>

		<description>Comments can brighten a day, bring a smile, make us think, or drive us crazy -- the contact and connection is pretty strong stuff. Thanks for letting me chime in on your history-making post.</description>

		<description>If one wants visitors to her/his blog, one way to get a few is to comment on other blogs on a regular basis.

I&#039;m here commenting on your blog because of a comment that you left on another blog.  I&#039;ve also added you to my feed reader.</description>

		<description>@ Jo: Very interesting ideas. Thank you for sharing. I think your right about blogs that are highly into information transfer, they just don&#039;t attract as many comments. I think, in some part, the more people can relate to the post, the more comments it will receive.

@ Linda: Thank you for helping. It does not tie in with the Olympics, but that is a great thought.

@ Ribeezie: It is always a good idea for the author to respond to comments. I agree.

@ Tim: You&#039;re so right! And I too would encourage my readers to respond to your inquiry.

@ funnygirl: Wow. That&#039;s a great compliment. Thank you. It is our intention for it to always go in that direction. Always.</description>

		<description>Do you people not understand that by replying you are propagating this nonsense? It needs to stop and stop right now!

Let me all know if you all agree.</description>
