Do not despair, you’ll get there! It requires time, effort, and a great deal of patience! I’m still learning as most of us are!

Oh dear!!

Maybe I should have checked the Helium terms!! My week turned out worse than I imagined and my todo list isn’t even half done….

I have hardly been online the last 2 days and I must make sure I get some stuff done and reply to everyone and read up on everyones blogs now otherwise my blog may die…………

Amazingly the Meme has made my Technorati rating burst! What a great idea i’m glad I got in on it early.

I hope the tone of our site doesn’t scare you off completely!!! Really we are harmless
I am looking at your to-do list and I think if you submit an article to helium they automatically retain the rights to it and you can’t publish the same article elsewhere. Correct me please if I am wrong because I have been writing different articles for AC and Helium.
And I agree with Joanne, replying to your commenter’s is so important and a lesson that I learned the hard way..

Blog Carnivals help your blog a lot. Memes, too. Speaking of which, have you noticed an increase in visitors from the Blogging Tips meme?

Thanks for the mention. I’m glad you like my site and happy to know you found my piece on How to Start a Conversation with an Urban Indian funny. It’s very difficult to tell when you’ve got humour right, so positive feedback is always a welcome relief.

I wouldn’t worry about your minor setback from 8 to 5 RSS readers on any particular day. Those kind of deviations are more than normal and once you have tens or hundreds of subscribers, you won’t notice. If it makes you feel any better, one of those 3 missing feed readers is definitely me. Strangely enough, I check up on the actual sites more often than I log into my feed reader! Needless to say I’m a bit strange and backward.

I found a reply to all your comments is very important for keeping your readers, people always like to check back if their comment being read or getting any responses back, I think we all do. And I fully agreed with Opal, content still the king, cheers

And now take the advise from Snoskred …

I also am one of your subscribers. YAY!

But I still get you in the Bumpzee feeds as well..

Traffic is a scary thing - my 5 million online article has been viewed by about 15,000 people over the last few days thanks to Stumbleupon. It’s starting to calm down a bit now.

My advice to you - from blogger to blogger - keep your voice. So many times when a good blogger gets traffic, they freak out a bit and change.

Even I did it to some extent - I swear a lot less now. If you look back at my blogs early days the f word is all over the place.

And, another tip - always sign off your comment and put a link back to your blog, like I’m about to do. That way people always know where to find you without having to figure it out on their own *and* it can be good for your google page rank etc.

Why wouldn’t we comment? Everyone loves to “hear themselves talk” right?

I’m one of your subscribers btw! And I appreciate your kind words about my blog. Thank you.
