		<description>Hello DCR, I love the way I can picture blogging through your gardening metaphor.  Nice tips, especially about the fertilizing.</description>

		<description>Great analogy, Dan!

It's obvious you've really thought this through, and your advice is well worth heeding.  Personally, I've had a bit of trouble keeping up with the "watering" of my blog over the past few months.  Life can get so busy at times that it's so easy to go for quite a while between postings and then try to make up for it later.  But, just as that isn't the best way to water a garden, it isn't really the best way to run a blog, either!  I'll definitely have to work on it!

Thanks for the reminder!

		<description>Luckily the spam filter gets most of them, but there are those lame spam comments that still get through.  I usually delete them.</description>

		<description>Some people never even till the soil!  They just toss some bare-root plants on the ground and hope for the best!  ;-)</description>

		<description>How metaphorical and rather deep of you; it's a pretty good description of what blogging is like!

I find most people stop at step 3 and forget to water their blog.  Then awhile later, they'll complain that their site is growing or they're not making any money :(</description>
