		<description>Smart! Half a dozen or more of those abandoned websites are mine, lol. This one almost became one of them, but I decided to bring it back from the dead. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope you&#039;ll come back and announce your new blog when it&#039;s ready. You could even do a guest post! :)</description>

		<description>Twitter is definitely unique LaVonne. Like all tools, it is valuable/powerful in the right hands and a waste of time for others. It is a game changer in the right hands though.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Back in the stone tablet days, I didn’t have a blog because I was too busy drawing cool pictures on cave walls. I can’t believe people actually paid me to have such fun :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here in the modern ages, I don’t have a blog but I will soon. I’m at the point where I’ve narrowed my ideas down from a few million to a handful, so now I’m laser-focused on making sure my business is unique, valuable, and sustainable before I launch. The Internet has enough websites abandoned by owners who launched with no real plan. I want to do it right the first time. Time will tell :)</description>

		<description>Thanks, Mike. You make some excellent points. I&#039;ve been going back and forth about sending this to my nephew because he&#039;s obviously made up his mind, so I&#039;ve tabled that for a while. And you&#039;re right that he will make it either way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes, our stone tablet blog days were good times. Twitter kind of reminds me of those days. Hard to believe it was only a few years ago. What was your blog back then? Do you have one now?</description>

		<description>Hang in there LaVonne! Your nephew sounds like the kind of person who will find a way to succeed -- with or without your help. Either way, he is lucky to have an aunt who cares enough about him to want to share her lessons learned so he doesn’t have to learn everything the hard way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;While he can certainly go a different route, sellers like Wordpress because it allows them to get rolling quickly and inexpensively. A Wordpress-based site allows sellers to add content quickly so the payback for their time is high since content directly contributes to marketing of products. As a bonus, the search engines seem to love Wordpress sites.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think your comments about comments are right on, but your nephew may disagree. Regardless, no one can deny that getting customers to engage leads to loyal customers. Some businesses engage customers using comments, some use newsletters, some use tools like Twitter, and some use a combination. The key is engagement. However, you already know that from your success rocking the Pleistocene era with your stone tablet blog. Those were good times. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have a great one!</description>
