		<description>&lt;p&gt;@Bob, @Karen, @Yuwanda,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the lovely comments on my post. I has been a joy to have been involved in some of the history of the blogosphere that (thank goodness) is, indeed, history.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The very best parts have always been the relationships I&#039;ve been gifted. And Meryl is absolutely one of the greatest gifts.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;@Bob, I still can&#039;t get my family to read my blog! LOL! Yesterday, I did an interview on blogtalk radio and after trying to explain it, I gave up. Can I borrow your family? :-)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Part of what amazes me about Meryl being here for 8 years is stories like this. I had blogs, early on, but they weren&#039;t on anyone&#039;s radar.  Heck, I could barely convince family to check them out, even when the blogs were, usually, about those family members!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Somewhere along the way, Meryl figured it all out, and it paid off with the project you&#039;ve described.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Very cool story, Janet.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;@Karen, can&#039;t believe it&#039;s been three years since I met Janet and the blogging project. She&#039;s wonderful to work with and learn from.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Janet, what a great history lesson! I was not around for the early blogging days but I remember the early wild days of the net so I can imagine. Lots of things have changed but it&#039;s nice that the one constant has been the wonderful people &quot;out there.&quot; Meryl, again, congratulations for blazing new trails and guiding the way for the rest of us. Thanks also for introducing me to Janet!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What a nice post. A nice balance between the personal and the professional.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Gee Janet, got any more of those $800/month blogging gigs laying around? I don&#039;t know much about technology, but can give my input from the user end. Maybe a &quot;I wonder if the average Joe schmoe can use this product&quot; lying around that you need tested. :-)&lt;/p&gt;
