		<description>Congrats on the stats for your first week. It is important to look at your benchmarks to see how far you have come.

While you are watching your stats, keep in mind that your &lt;a href=&quot;http://scissormonkey.wordpress.com/2007/07/23/blog-grade-is-not-just-one-thing/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Blog Grade is Not Just One Thing&lt;/a&gt;. remember your goals, such as building community and look at stats like people leaving comments. Jeremiah Owyang is a big advocate that blogging is about building community and that takes time.

Good luck, it sounds like you are doing well after just a week.</description>

		<description>Do I get to comment on your blog? This is the sister that Connie mentions a lot.

First, those 2 subscribers are both me.  I was testing out that subscribe by email works!

Second, I am trying to diagnose this blog.  Sometimes this blog loads fast and sometimes it loads slow.  I have talked to the host and they assured me the site was fine. It&#039;s a shared host and I bet we are sharing it with a sql intensive site.  So that is why Connie is asking about blog loading.  Slow websites are not good.</description>
