Mr. Nick Thacker, where were you when I first started my blog?  I absolutely loved "Building a Blog For Readers..." First, as I read, I could not stop thinking how my husband and a friend of mine, both embarking on new blogs, need to read this manifesto sooner than later.  The tips/strategies you provide are easily essential to developing a successful, sufficient, and sustaining blog.While I read, I actually developed ideas for my own blog that I feel are necessary for it to remain afloat and true to why I started it in the first place.  I developed a vision as to what it needs to look like and what to focus on in the future.  This is huge.  I have been struggling with idea development for weeks, unable to pin point exactly what my blog needs.When I read your manifesto, my two-year-old was sitting next to me watching Blue's Clues on my iPod.  He never once interrupted me and he did not have to because I was able to read though the pages quickly.  The organization of tips reads smoothly and builds accordingly. Everything makes sense. I love it.  My blogging experience had not involved me reading books on blogging.  Therefore, I can honestly see your manifesto becoming my "go to bible for blogging".Finally, I truly enjoyed the input you included from other successful bloggers. It helped to show how blogging could be a successful venture, even for me, as long as the blogger (myself included) dedicates a certain amount of time, focus, and passion into it.  In regards to what your manifesto still needs, I am not one to ask.  I am only still learning what a blog needs and you are the first person to point me in the right direction. Thank you for that.
