		<description>Melanie, chatty is always good. Your work is stunning! as is your husbands. I am amazed that you both create the same art. I know quite a few married artist couples but usually one is a potter and the other a painter sort of thing. Very Cool. You must get along really well. I think if Mike and I did the same thing would we be going at it like badgers. (I mean that not in a good way) :)</description>

		<description>Well I was averaging about... 2 readers a day for quite a while!  HAHAHA!!!  But I'm glad to say that figure has now escalated to a whopping... 15 or so!  :D

That's great that you get so many readers!  Thank you so much for the lovely things you have written about me.  Your cheque is in the post :P</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Melanie&lt;/b&gt;, Thanks for taking a moment to comment. I really am flattered by all your kind words. (I even read it aloud to my husband) If you want to tell me more about yourself or ask any question, please feel welcome to do so. Or you can from now onward stay silent. :) But thank you for coming forward to say "hi."

&lt;b&gt;Angela&lt;/b&gt;,  Not sure if 50-100 per day is high, (for instance Tyrrells blog gets over 600 a day) but I don't think it's all that bad for a blog not yet a year old. Hmm I wonder what the "average" daily readership for the "average" blog is? From what I understand that after a blog achieves 100,000 page loads, things really take off.</description>
