This thread is encouraging. It's difficult not to feel discouraged here. NOTHING happened for 2 months, then BAM, I had a couple of hugely successful posts. So, I churned out some more and I'm back to 5 views and 5 cents. Hooray!

I appreciate the info on commenting and drilling down to the topics outlined by @elain54. I think this will really help me push through. Thanks all who commented on this.

Now about this horrible spam problem...#waronspam!
