		<description>[...] The next blogger I want to thank is one of my most favorite, Steve Pavlina. I found Steve’s site by doing a Google search on quitting coffee and found this article. Immediately I knew Steve and I were “kindred spirits”. He was writing about a lot of the things that I’ve been interested in and studying for 20 years namely, personal and spiritual development. All of his articles are interesting but some that have really inspired me to start and grow my blog including How to Build a High Traffic Website (or Blog) and Blogging for Personal Growth. Thank you Steve!  Next, I have to thank, not one blogger, but the gang at Performancing.com, particularly Nick Wilson, Chris Garrett and Andy Hagans. These guys are really inspiring and bring a sense of “I did it and you can too” to new bloggers. All of their articles, and the comments that follow, have been extremely helpful but here are three that I want to point out; Chris’ reviews of the available blog software (which was instrumental my decision to use Wordpress), Nick’s straight talking Ten Signs of a Cheap Blog and Andy’s Monetization Makeovers. Thank you Nick, Chris, Andy and all the other contributors at Performancing! [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Yesterday, I was surfing through some of my favorite blogs and came upon a link to Steve Pavlins&#8217;s personal development Blog. He has a post titled &#8220;Blogging for Personal Growth.&#8221; It really sums up most of what we&#8217;ve been discussing, and adds few other points too. Well written and worth the read. (especially if you haven&#8217;t jumped into the world of blogs yet.) [...]</description>

		<description>[...] I&#8217;ve been wondering recently about the why I&#8217;m blogging. Why am I spending my time doing this? Is it just an effort to get more attention? Or can it be a tool for my own personal development, perhaps eventually becoming a tool that could help others? Could I legitimately call it part of my ILP? Well, today Steve Pavilna published a blog entry which helped me get closer to an answer (or at least an excuse) for myself. Here&#8217;s the first couple of sentences from his typically long but informative post: When I started this site 16 months ago, my goal was to help people with their personal development. And based on the thousands of pieces feedback I’ve received since then, that expectation is certainly being realized. However, what I wasn’t fully prepared for was the massive amount of personal growth I would experience as a result of this decision. I expected there would be a symbiotic relationship that would provide additional fuel for my own growth, but the effect was far greater than I imagined. Consequently, I now believe that blogging may be one of the best tools for personal growth. (Bolding mine) [...]</description>
