		<description>Congratulations and welcome.

I&#039;ve been reading TA for a little while now (don&#039;t think I&#039;ve commented yet) so that&#039;s great.

Enjoy; 9rules is a great place — but you know that of course ;-)</description>

		<description>@Tony
Thanks!

@John
Thanks, and to answer the question:
Yes and no. Narrowing it down somewhat, there are three main reasons why I wanted to become a member: (1) be part of a community of bloggers that&#039;ve inspired continue to inspire me, (2) traffic and exposure, (3) it&#039;s a recognized label of quality (well, I recognize it :-).

Now, to elaborate on traffic: I don&#039;t see it as just any traffic. Like I said above, I first got to know 9rules because I kept coming across sites with really great articles who were members of 9r. With such a high standard, 9r presumably attracts readers that aren&#039;t looking for a quick &quot;lol, this r fun video 4 u&quot;-type blogs, but rather thought provoking and elaborate writings: Quality readers :-)

Of course, there are other reasons. But I think these three sum it up nicely.</description>
