I was also able to take everyone who subscribes by email.  The only people I can't take with me automatically are the people who type in the domain name or use bookmarks.  But hopefully they'll update their bookmarks like I hope you do.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So far I haven't noticed a drop off in traffic to the new blog.  I'm thinking it was a great decision that I should have made earlier.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Dean</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2009 18:45:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: We&amp;#8217;re Moving To CopywritingDean.com</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/were-moving-to-copywritingdeancom/#comment-136893865</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Stephen&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, have no spelling problems, but I am wondering why all guys move around their blogs. Just when you have found a quality blog someone moves it all around, and if you've followed a blog through RSS you might not have found out until AFTER the move has happened.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then that someone might be "lost" behind a new domain name....&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, good luck. Always good to know restructuring created an active decision, and I will remember to update my Favourites/Bookmarks. :-)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think it is also important to use a story (like you did in this post).&lt;/p&gt;

I really appreciate the feedback.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Dean</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:00:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Sales Letters That DONT Work.</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/sales-letters-that-dont-work/#comment-136893817</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Glad you got your book Zazzu!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My complaint isn't that some sites are too long but that they are boring.  Some letters need to be long, but it needs to be relevant and engaging.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You might be a skimmer.  I always skim sales copy and I'm a copywriter!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Dean</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:58:54 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Sales Letters That DONT Work.</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/sales-letters-that-dont-work/#comment-136893816</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Excellent - I would have loved to say this many times but didn't say it as good as you can! We all don't have time to wade through what some sites have!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the prize book - it arrived and it's on my list to read next.  I'm into 3 books right now.  Thanks again.   Maybe I'd better move this one up in priority though!  I'll leave the others until I get the one you sent done!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Zazzu&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Zazzu</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2009 02:12:19 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Sales Letters That DONT Work.</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/sales-letters-that-dont-work/#comment-136893814</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the comment James, and thanks for stopping by.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Dean</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2009 01:10:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Sales Letters That DONT Work.</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/sales-letters-that-dont-work/#comment-136893813</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Great stuff, Stephen, as always. This is timely advice. Thank you for sharing. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cutline always ranked very well for me, but it was REALLY boring me and was not showing up properly in IE.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another reason for the switch was the "featured post" that I'm able to put up in the header.  Love it!  Just think of what you can do with that!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Dean</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2009 03:07:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: New Blog Theme At StephensBlog.com</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/new-blog-theme-at-stephensblogcom/#comment-136893845</link><description>&lt;p&gt;@ James.  Thanks! I appreciate it.  I'm adding you to my RSS reader and will stop by to check it out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;@ Rick.  Oh man, hearing that from a gun instructor I immediately felt like I needed to prove my manliness.  And then I thought, wow, manliness is kind of a girly word.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;@ Sarah. Hey! Is this your first comment! Probably.  Thanks for stopping bye.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Dean</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2009 03:05:24 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: New Blog Theme At StephensBlog.com</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/new-blog-theme-at-stephensblogcom/#comment-136893843</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Stephen,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I love that you are adding a little "color" in your life.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It's bean a few days since I grabbed onto your 24 hour special.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And, still filling my basket full of copywriting nuggets  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mmmm good!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Had to get the Mind-Extracting-Equipment preforming in top notch when entering into  your,  Tapping Michel Fortin's Brain.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yes, been a couple of days and I'm halfway through Volume 1 of  2.  I'm travelling at a nice brain sucking speed.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So many "aa-ha" nuggets.  And follow ups to other exciting copywriting  information bases.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Next week the golden nuggets will be all extracted out of Volume 1 &amp;amp; 2 of Tapping Michel Fortin's Brain and into mine!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Copywriting now will be clearer and on target.  I'll be hearing in my head how this copywriting orchestra is really written for big results for your client.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cheers&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The new blog theme looks great. I like the cool colors. Great posts too! : ) I added a link to your blog in my blogroll. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Take care,&lt;/p&gt;

I've never had a "day job," so I guess I wouldn't know.  Jumped in to copywriting straight from school.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Stephen Dean</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 12 Feb 2009 03:06:32 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Robert Plank Shares How To Make $5,000 Writing Articles</title><link>http://www.stephensblog.com/robert-plank-shares-how-to-make-5000-writing-articles/#comment-136893791</link><description>&lt;p&gt;It sounds more impressive, but everyone I know who has quit a day job said that the time they used to devote to the day job just turned into free time.  They weren't able to add that to their business.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I don't think I would be any more productive in IM if I quit the day job.&lt;/p&gt;
