		<description>Hi Trisha,
Many readers are lurkers feeling they don't have anything to contribute.  Only thing is they might surprise themselves by asking a question that someone else was also too shy to ask.  

By commenting you are also giving the blogger confidence that 'someone' is reading their blog and interested enough to come back. You can also offer feedback which can also help to improve the quality of the blog.

Contributing on blogs is definitely a way of building relationships. I've met some amazing and helpful people along my journey.  You never know where this relationship will lead... just like my new venture with Mona for our HerProBlog.COM.</description>

		<description>Thanks David, Ash and Loraleigh!  

I still haven't been using Twitter very much though - I really need to start doing that!

And yes, it is really overwhelming!  Writing is one thing - but then keeping up with everyone and everything can be difficult!</description>
