		<description>G'day Karl

Thanks for sharing your thoughts but you may have misunderstood me - I don't see those five points that I made as anything that I'm worried about or anything that needs fixing. 

I think those are five points that make my blog stand out from so many others.

And as for a blog roll ... hell no! Blog Rolls are for pussies - sorry, I don't mean to offend you but I can and do get good search engine placement without the need to link to blogs that I never read.

If I recommend something or somebody it's because I found it olr them helpful not because mentioning it is going to get me good search engine placement or a bucket load of traffic from Technorati.

The very first thing I do with every blog I start is to go through the Word Press script and delete the Blog Roll links and the heading too - personally I think as far as traffic building is concerned it's incestuous.</description>

		<description>I'd suggest creating a blogroll of like minded blogs, linking and getting linked to is what makes blogs a powerful force on search engines. It's the interconnections and the trackbacks that creates the "blogosphere". Forget about the pundits, there's plenty of room if you have something to say :-)</description>
