		<description>Hello Susan

I got to your site today and saw the information on Technorati and decided it was time to do it. I need to get back and work on the top 100 blogs in there. I am trying to schedule time in all the areas that need attention. It is easy to get side tracked, there is so much good information on everyones blog and so much we need to be doing. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night working on this stuff. 

Thanks for the instructions on Technorati; it was easy to sign up and fav you.

I hope you are as excited about 2009 as I am!!!

		<description>Hi Susan!  I love your blog!  I looks great!  You also have the cutest babies!  I wish I could rub their heads.  I love to rub bald baby heads for some reason...lol.

I think it is a great idea about putting the blog roll on a second page.  I think I might do that... as soon as I find out how to make one... lol.  I know it is great exposure for everybody, so that is something I am going to have to put on my &quot;to-do&quot; list.

I am also going to download the map you were talking about.  That sounds like a pretty cool way to get some back links.  Thanks so much for the great tip. :-)

		<description>Thanks Kath - 

I did get both comments but I have set the blog to make them visible only after moderation UNLESS you have already had an accepted comment - so you won&#039;t have the same problem again.  I did this to prevent spam comments.  

If you add a google sitemap to your blog (needn&#039;t be on show just make sure it&#039;s in your admin area and gets pinged to google - there&#039;s a widget called Google Sitemaps http://www.arnebrachhold.de/2005/06/05/google-sitemaps-generator-v2-final which does all this automatically) then the links gets counted as backlinks - the thing about being on the front page is that people can click from there and not have to search around - but after about the top 10, there&#039;s very little clicking from those further down the list.  Eye tracking evidence suggests that the TOP ranked site in google gets (I may be misremembering the exact percentages but the proportions are thereabouts) 60-80% of all the clicks for a search term, the second one, about 10-30%, then third position less than 10% and very very few lower down.  So actually anyone lower that the top 10 can&#039;t really expect traffic - and in an alphabetised list, that&#039;ll be about letter B, right?  BUT keep commenting on a high quality site like Garry&#039;s and you&#039;ll get the traffic!  
 
And thanks for your kind comments, twins aren&#039;t scary - just hard work! LOL</description>

		<description>Hi Susan,
I came over from reading your excellent comment son Garry’s blog. I submitted this comment once but it seems ot be lost so I’m doing it again.
I think you’re so right about the division thing and I not yoiu have a separate page for your blogroll but I don’t understand why google likes this, please let me know.
I find you inspiring particularly because you have twins which always filles me with terror,although I did have two kids in nappies at the same time. I will be following you from now on because I like what you say and you’re not scary.
Yes, Technorati is on my to do list but I will get around to it sooner after reading this.
I have put you on my blogroll
