		<description>Hi Laura - thanks for the comment. :)

Right now I&#039;m not sure of where I will announce the entertainment blog once it&#039;s ready, due to closing my personal blog. But I&#039;d say it&#039;s a fairly safe bet that it will come in my newsletter @ &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.weeklyblogging.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Weekly Blogging&lt;/a&gt;. If you subscribe, you&#039;ll know when it&#039;s ready :) (and you might get a few useful tips too!)

Thanks for the offer re: guest posting - I might take you up on that :)</description>

		<description>While it is sad to see you go I understand.  Sometimes people need to start fresh and new.  My blog as well is quite a mess, but It is more for me anyway.  Well good luck on your new adventures and I will have to check out your other blogs more often</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry that you don&#039;t feel at one with your blog these days. I used to post a movie review at least once a week, since I&#039;m an avid movie fan, but I haven&#039;t been doing it for a few years now... so I know how multiple blogs can take up a lot of your time. I may be interested in contributing to your entertainment blog once you get it set up. Also, if you find yourself with a social media article on your hands and nowhere to post it... I love guest bloggers at Social Savvy Geek. :)</description>

		<description>Thanks for commenting, Dan. I do have a few plans to move my other plans along - I might also set up a social media blog at some point, but it&#039;s never quite worked out for me. Maybe later in the year.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your comment John. Some of the social media posts might make their way over there, certainly. A lot of them don&#039;t really fit anywhere, but I&#039;ll put them anywhere I can, if they&#039;re good enough.</description>

Although it&#039;ll give you more time to concentrate on your other projects... Sometime we spread ourselves to thin.  I hope the best posts of benbarden.com find their way onto quickblogtips.com</description>

		<description>Hi Hillary - thanks for your comment. I do try to leave comments on other blogs, and in future I will probably comment on most of the posts I link to in my link love posts. I don&#039;t think I&#039;m commenting enough to see a big impact yet. I&#039;ve seen people who appear to comment on hundreds of blog posts - I have no idea how many comments they post in a typical day or week, but right now I&#039;m not even finding that many blog posts that I would want to comment on. I need to keep looking for new blogs, perhaps subscribe to a few more than I do now, and maybe leave more comments too. One step at a time :)</description>
