Joey, is this a good or a bad thing that I remind you your boss? ;-) Though I do think that it’s best to confront our weakness than pretend that everything is ok. That’s how we learn, don’t we?

I do not mind an irregular posting schedule. If it’s too long I start to wonder what happened to you, but if I’m unable to check my reader for a few days, it’s nice to only have 312 unread articles instead of 315 ;) I’ll check out Rory’s article on Leo. I haven’t read it yet. Thanks!

“Where do you see yourself going with it?”. David, that’s a very good question, the one I don’t have a complete answer to, not yet. I definitely want to incorporate it with my web design business, so in that sense I’m learning from you a lot. Then I want to be able to increase my posting schedule and make it more regular (probably to 2-3 posts per week). What would come our of this blog – I guess I’ll just take one step at a time and keep perfecting it to be an inspiring and a thought provoking place for my readers.

haha, Daniel, that’s what I was kind of hoping for – to get your interest in DailyDesignTips. Perhaps we can even become blogging partners with your DailyTips network ;-)

Hi Paul, thanks for your insightful comment. I agree that to have a name that’s similar with another famous blog is a quick way to advance in blogiverse, and it does add pressure and different expectations. But I think it depends on the blog and the bloggers themselves. JohnCow.com is one of such examples.
and hmm… you made me think, what if somene does launch a blog called InspirationByte? At first I’ll be flattered, then curious to see how would they make it different from mine :-)

Lauren, I also feel the same when I don’t have time to write for my blog regularly, or comment on others. Sometimes I worry that my readers feel cheated by my lack of regular posts, and my favourite bloggers feel betrayed by my lack of interest and participation on their blogs.
As for Leo Babauta, you should definitely read Rory’s break down and analysis of his huge success (if you haven’t read it yet).

dandellion, I’ll certainly pass it on to you and all my readers any info I get about getting a clone for yourself. I too desperately need one myself.

Thank you, Brian, for digging this post. I’m thinking of hosting another group writing project soon, this time asking people to share their tips on how they use Social Networking sites to promote themselves and their blogs. What do you and others think of this idea?

Michael, it was my pleasure featuring you in this article. I’ll be definitely keeping an eye on you and your blog’s evolution. Keep up the good job and I see a very bright blogging future for you :-) (gosh, do I sound lie Cassandra now ;-))

John, I’m so pleased that you like my Lit Bits. I’ll be splitting them into a separate feed, once I’m done with the re-design of this blog. Good catch with the Queen piece – either the photographer never played chess, or it was taken not at the beginning of the game, but in the middle, then the Queen can be positioned anywhere. :-)
I too look forward to David’s new logo design blog. It’ll be something that you yourself did – branched out the Typography-related articles on your Redsil blog to a new separate and a very successful one.

Thanks, Joey. At least we have two common things with each other – I too struggle with time and social networks, but quite active on one of the popular local forums. So what do you think of another group project dedicated to Social networks?

One way I would like to learn to blog smarter is to utilize social sites. I am just having a hard time with them because its just not my thing. I am making headway in forums though. I never thought I would enjoy forums but I am converting.
