		<description>Here is day 3 of the blogger challenge and I have been keeping up so far with Steve Dembo’s blogging challenge. I would like to thank Steve, for the great posts that you make. They are relevant and informational, but best of all your ideas/suggestions, tools and sites that you post are fantastic since they are easy for teachers to use. As an ed tech leader in my district, it gives me an endless bag of tricks. I&#039;ve hesitated for a long time on creating a blog, but your challenge has motivated me. I felt that with your guidance, I could definitely create a productive and meaningful blog.</description>

		<description>I took a slightly different twist on the idea of giving thanks. I truly appreciate the bloggers who provide encouragement, advice, and great ideas to the preservice teachers in the Instructional Technology course I teach. So I sent a thank you note to one of their favorite bloggers: Joel of So You Want to Teach (http://www.soyouwanttoteach.com).

Thanks to you, too, Steve. I&#039;ve learned from your blog in the past and I appreciate this series.

		<description>Hi Steve,

As a relatively new blogger I stumbled on this challenge through my twitter network just yesterday - it&#039;s just what I need right now as I enter that challenging phase of &quot;am I talking to myself?&quot;. So, as part of my thank yous for today&#039;s challenge I have to extend it to yourself as well. So, thank you for helping me focus and clarify why it is I decided to blog.

		<description>Hiya Steve,

What a nice way to start the morning (raining intensely outside) to have coffee and your email atop my inbox. 

Thanks. I am honored. And I replied to Steve, also thanking him for important things he did for me as well.

This is a subtly brilliant way of doing something for your blog w/o touching it. No, it&#039;s not about doing something for your blog, or as an earlier commenter wrote, in pursuit of link gain. It&#039;s about paying back to people  by a small bit of acknowledgment. No matter how pure you are in your purpose of blogging just to express, knowing that someone reads you or is getting something out of your work, fuels the fires to keep blogging. 

I have babbled before that blogging is much more than just tossing things in a box and clicking &quot;publish&quot;, it is about participating in the space (in and around) other people&#039;s blogs.

Spread the good news!
