		<description>Ian: I&#039;ll get back to you in a few days. I hope your guest poster turns out awesome!

Cookie: That&#039;s great! I followed the guest posting on your blog and thought it was a great idea. Not only did you gain readers, your guest posters must have too from all the new people visiting.

Shannon: My apologies. It grates when someone misreports all your hard work. The changes have been made.</description>

		<description>Writing a guest post for ProBlogger was definitely a great opportunity for me to engage with a slightly different audience, however I must point out that the average level of engagement on my blog is quite a bit higher than you indicated in your post. 

While I may not be considered &quot;big league&quot; material I&#039;m proud of the fact that there is a considerable amount of engagement there especially considering it&#039;s been less than a year since it launched. A bit of quick math indicates that the average number of comments on a post is actually closer to 17. Maybe this is splitting hairs, but engagement is very important to me -- more important than page rank or traffic or links.

		<description>Although I havent had the opportunity to guest post as yet (I will be doing so at the end of the month hopefully), I did host 15 guest bloggers in January &#039;09. The result of which was amazing, and my readership has trippled as a result of that 1 week of craziness.

I&#039;m all for it, and it does not happen enough!

		<description>Can I write on yours? You can write on mine, then we&#039;ll both be exposed to new readers. I&#039;m writing on someone else&#039;s next week. His name is Dark Roasted Blend. I hope he&#039;s not too weird.</description>
