		<description>Hi Grace,
I like your blog. How have you found your blogging experience so far? Like you, time and fear were my main barriers to getting started. I wanted to write interesting articles but you can&#039;t force it.

I only have a few blogs written but have lots of notes to put in some sort of order so hopefully I&#039;ll have more to follow soon. 

Good luck with your future blogging.</description>

		<description>Welcome to the blog-o-sphere!

To echo David, I have at times resorted to a template (I currently am now). Sometimes we have to focus on the sites we are coding for others.

Looking forward to super fantastic content!</description>

		<description>Hi Davy, thanks for being one of the first comments on the blog and for the good feedback. I&#039;m glad i just took the plunge and started blogging instead of worrying about the design, for me its about focusing on the content instead of being a design perfectionist!</description>

		<description>Well done on getting the new blog out of the gates. Looks really well, I&#039;ve no problem with a designer using a great template for a blog (there is no rule to say you must re-invent the wheel). Although, like myself you will probably want to have more input into the presentation of the blog before long, I&#039;ve prioritised adding content over changing my theme (and I don&#039;t get much time for either) on my blog but I really do need to spruce it up a lot.

Anyway main thing is you&#039;re live with the new blog, good luck with it.

Cheers.</description>
