Thank you, and the best of luck to you, as well! (I really enjoy your blog!)<br /><br />@CrowningCrone: Thank you! I think digging out the positives is always good, especially if it's in response to criticism over something you enjoy and benefit from. <br /><br />@RomanticAsianGuy: So true! It took months for me to figure out what I was doing, build a small following, and becoming more open. I think, even if others don't see it, if you feel like something is good for you than stick with it and the rewards will come in time. Yes, let's represent the "quiet ones." :)<br /><br />@Jessia: I agree that blogging is a great learning experience, as well as a place to recieve constructive criticism and build freindships. I agree entirely - I'd much prefer working on my own personal project than play by someone else's rules...maybe I'll someday find a way to make that happen and get paid for it. <br /><br />@HeavenSentMassage: Thanks! I appreciate your kind words. <br /><br />@Sandy: Thank you! Each of us has interests and backgrounds that we're passionate about and interesting in sharing, yet bloggers aren't held back by the same things as big businesses and more well-knownn individuals - I like to think bloggers are more honest and sincere.Erin @ Analyfehttp://analyfe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542650042236224075.post-85112214817642062802011-10-07T18:48:01.485-04:002011-10-07T18:48:01.485-04:00Well said, Erin!

When googling information, I often find myself adding blog at the end of my search term. It's opened up a whole new world of resources.<br /><br />-Sandy.<br />http://sandyvsworld.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542650042236224075.post-89984585765560735242011-10-07T16:42:24.003-04:002011-10-07T16:42:24.003-04:00Definitely a great way to showcase your skills, lo...Definitely a great way to showcase your skills, love your postsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542650042236224075.post-6605903593967743482011-10-07T14:10:29.473-04:002011-10-07T14:10:29.473-04:00I have learned so much from blogging, and it's...I have learned so much from blogging, and it's definitely given me a skillset that I use at my job now. I think one of the best things is that it's your own little space to play around with and learn little by little depending on what you want to change about it, and you get feedback along the way from your readers. I've always found a lot more motivation for wanting to improve something about my blog than for assignments given to me by someone else.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117752360285429048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542650042236224075.post-33895384391595485332011-10-07T12:38:57.548-04:002011-10-07T12:38:57.548-04:00I loved reading this post.

For those of us who spend countless hours blogging and responding to blogs, this post is a good reminder why we must continue to blog, even if the benefits are not immediately forthcoming.<br /><br />Let's get our voices out there, especially for those of us considered the "quiet ones".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542650042236224075.post-19469442272591150062011-10-07T12:29:04.659-04:002011-10-07T12:29:04.659-04:00great post!
