Still waiting for my blog vision, though. The pieces are slowly coming together. I'll send email to your yahoo addy whenever I put together something small.

Thanks for the comment. If anyone deserves beer, its you. I've just read Aco's post and loved it, especially the comments. Its good to gather so many points of view in one place.<br/><br/>I agree with Aco, too many blogs start with no clear vision - that's happened to me before. When you first get into the blogosphere, you often just want a blog. You dont want to say anything specific. Once you mature a bit, you find your footing and start to blog in a certain way, on certain things. At least that's how it happened to me.<br/><br/>Yeah comments should not be a necessity but the go a long way in motivating any blogger.<br/><br/>About your guest post, I was thinking maybe you'd share on why you're not blogging yourself. But do not let me put you on the spot. Whenever you're ready, just tell me what you want to say and we'll do this. Hey, Erick. Thanks for the comment. If anyone deserves beer, its you.

I agree with Aco, too many blogs start with no clear vision – that’s happened to me before. When you first get into the blogosphere, you often just want a blog. You dont want to say anything specific. Once you mature a bit, you find your footing and start to blog in a certain way, on certain things. At least that’s how it happened to me.

Yeah comments should not be a necessity but the go a long way in motivating any blogger.

About your guest post, I was thinking maybe you’d share on why you’re not blogging yourself. But do not let me put you on the spot. Whenever you’re ready, just tell me what you want to say and we’ll do this.

I would want to continue blogging even when no one comments, because I know what the goal of the blog is. Comments would be a nice bonus, not a necessity.

A guest blog would be an honor, even though I’m not sure what to write on :-) .
