		<description>Heya Matt! Just wanted to give you a heads up. I&#039;ve moved to a self hosted blog, so your link is pointing to the old blog, which will be going away some time soon.
Here&#039;s the new link: http://www.treebound.net/blog/2009/02/12/an-open-letter-to-my-guild/</description>

		<description>@LarÃƒÂ­sa: And that&#039;s exactly how it starts. Your tribe starts with 1. Then 2. Then 10. Then 20. Before you know it, you eventually shoot past 100, 500, and even 1000. But everyone had to start from somewhere. The best way to grow is to interact and take care of them. Because those 10 or 20 readers are going to be the ones that help promote you and your work. Bloggers would do well not to piss off their audience. 

Unfortunately, that&#039;s a lesson that remains elusive to some.</description>

		<description>I really liked the article about seeing your blog visitors as a tribe and to care about the readers you have rather than trying to attract new ones. Love your readers, even if there&#039;s only 2 or 3 of them. Nourish them, care for them, see them and respond to their comments. I think that&#039;s the way to go for a new blogger, or well, for any blogger actually.

The numbers will come enventually if the tribe thrives, however small it is from the beginning.
