		<description>I think this was one of the first posts I ever read on Blogussion. Looking back it has really inspired me to connect more with my readers. Few blogs do this well and I&#039;ve never found bloggers who do this better than you guys. Thanks!</description>

		<description>Polls are are really great way to connect and gain new readers. Social media on top of responding to comments on your blog is a perfect way to connect with an audience. Solving a problem or sharing how you got around an obstacle that readers can relate to is a great way to connect.

		<description>As a blogger, I strongly believe that the very first way for us to connect with our readers is indeed truly with what we write.
We really have to keep in focus that we write for our readers, more than for ourselves.
And unless your post is actually of any interest or usefulness to your readers, no matter how good it  is, this post will be wasted and will have failed to connect with your readers.

		<description>Fair enough. Personally I quite like them as it&#039;s just like picking up a real magazine, except it&#039;s on the internet and therefore has links of interest and can contain videos rather than just pictures.

		<description>No, I meant like a newsletter too ;)
There are some awesome magazine style letters out there. To see what I mean head to iKiteMag[dot]com. 

(PS. this isn&#039;t my website and I&#039;m not spamming, just an example of what I mean) ;)
