		<description>I'm an author with a new book, "Flying Out of Brooklyn," newly published and I'd like to join the Block, but although I finally conquered the laptop, Blog-dom seems very confusing to me.  How do I join, how do communicate, start a blog, tell others about my work?  
HELP!!!!

&lt;strong&gt;Thanks for your interest, Beverly, but The Writers' Block is currently not looking for new members. If you check the blog carnival, you will find entries that deal with how to start a new blog and how to connect with readers (under blogs). Good luck to you.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi, 

Thanks for including my site on your site (Project Hitchhiker -- strangely in the SPORTS category...)

I'm really excited about what doing with the writer's block. 

I have a problem though: My current employer has asked me to remove my real name from blog posts due to the "inappropriate nature" of some of my posts. I was looking for contact info for your site's webmaster but couldn't find any... 

Could you please shorten my name to just "Michael" or even "Michael James" on your link?

I'd really appreciate it (and so would my boss...)

Keep up the great writing!

&lt;strong&gt;Thanks, Mike! I've edited your last name out of the submission. If you submit another link, make sure you include the category you'd like it to go into, or I can try to edit it later.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Fellow scribes:

I am a Caribbean writer hailing from Barbados who found your site @ www.mybloglog.com.

Just had a peek but it looks attractive and just what I'm looking for to share with my community.

I would love to offer a reciprocal link and network with other writers around the world.

In addition, I'd love more information about being a guest blogger.

I'm a newbie to wordpress and would greatly appreciate your feedback on my site especially the Discussion Board which is very recent. (Hopefully balanced feedback, rather than 'I like it' - or not- but more about what is useful and successful and what is unclear or missing.

Peace &#38; Blessings,
Seawoman</description>

		<description>Sure, you can be a guest blogger if you like. Guest bloggers are open for the weekend and for the last few days of any given month. Just let me know when.</description>

		<description>Hi,
I'd love to get involved to some degree or other.  I don't have much as far as background goes to "prove" I know what I'm doing with anything (still trying to get the first book published), but I'll gladly exchange links or offer an article or two when they happen.
