		<description>I&#039;m reading, listening, hearing, and saying that I like your blogs :)  Before I met you, I thought of you as a &#039;celebrity&#039; of sorts because you&#039;re well known in the local social media/blogging community.  I was honestly excited of the prospect of meeting you for the first time.  You&#039;re a great candid communicator and I do think your experience in blogging is invaluable.

Back to the topic of commenting.  I like receiving comments, no matter if they&#039;re positive or not.  It means that whatever topic or content I&#039;ve written has resonated with that reader and they felt compelled enough to communicate their thoughts with me.  I thought it was awesome that my simple review on Foundation had such a heated &#039;comment&#039; debate around it.</description>

		<description>As someone who writes multiple blogs, I sometimes allow the lack of commenting to get me down. It&#039;s such a validation when someone not only says great post, but explains why or adds to the conversation somehow wither their own stories or opinion. I often forget that to get you have to give, so I am trying to give a little more.

Thanks Raul.</description>

		<description>You know I&#039;m here. I just rarely have much to add to the conversation. Twitter&#039;s killing my commenting ability. :)</description>

		<description>Here and listening!  Commenting is a great way to join a conversation (or start one), and it can be a great marketing tool - not to mention a quick education at times!  Looking forward to the series!</description>
