This comes at the perfect time for me. I am soo motivated to make a wonderful colorful entertaining blog, but often just forget the #1 reason - to have fun! Ultimately it's just for me...comments and such are just icing. Thanks! Wow! You read my mind! This comes at the perfect time for me.

As an art - reviewer blogger who dabbles in reviewing indie crafts, design products and such I have learned more here than in most other places put together. Will take a closer look in here to see the other parts of what you do! Thanks so much! Susan http://www.artstreamstudios.com This is wonderful!

I know my blog hasn't been a craft blog since it's filled with projects I have yet to do, pictures I have yet to pose but I really love looking at other craft blogs and hope that I can accomplish even half of what you guys have been able to do. I've been lifting pictures from other craftblogs of stuff I admired and I try to make it a point to put the link to the original blog. I do hope you guys can go to mine just so you can give me tips on how I can make it better. http://craftsykay.blogspot.com That post just made me feel so much better.

I knew you'd have such great posts! this is awesome. I get questions about this stuff all the time, especially swapping. What a great resource to send newbies to. I don't think people realize how long these things take to catch on. I was blogging into the wind for months and months (and months!) before anyone noticed. brilliant!

I like how my blog looks in Bloglines, but if I didn't I'm not sure how I would change that. Isn't that something that Typepad decided and I have to live with? I joined the San Francisco Craft Mafia ring, but one of the things I'm supposed to do is put an image on my home page (they provide the code). I haven't a clue how to do this, since I am non-techy and I just follow Typepad's awesome templates. Another rule I follow in my blog (since I talk about regular life as well as crafty projects) is NEVER talk about my day job, mention it by name, complain about it. I've read too many blogs where the authors were fired for having a little too much freedom of speech. Great advice, thanks.
