In response to Robert F. Russo, I agree with David that perhaps you should play off of the Frusso name..who knows, depending on how you play it, Frusso (Frusso Creative, Frusso Design, Frusso by Russo, etc) could be a pretty catchy and memorable brand. I think it’s cool at least.

As Matthew said, it is nice of you to feature commenters on your blog. I’ve got reading material to last quite a while from this post!

If you don’t blog again before the festive period, enjoy Christmas.

Hello Sigurdur,

I’ve also not yet seen anyone publish reader comments like this. I’m sure people do, but it’d be nice to see more, as there’s no denying how valuable reader communities can be.

Don’t worry at all about using up the internet. You speak a lot of sense.

Mark,

I’m very glad you keep coming back, and it’s my pleasure to give readers a little extra mention. It is, after all, the season of goodwill. Happy holidays.

I think these reader comments round ups are great. It really shows you care about what your blog community think and contribute. This kind of attention to your readers is what makes me keep coming back here to get your latest posts, it shows you care about the readership and not comment counting or subscriber counting.

Its an all round warm, fuzzy feeling :D

These readers comments collections are a great and original idea. I have not seen it imitated elsewhere –yet. This fourth focus list made me think what is so clever about it.

Blog readers for some reason like lists. All kinds of them. I like them too. Actually I think it was a list of design blogs that made me come here in the first place – and not leave.

Blog commenters are honored in this way too. At least I am. And I want to make it into the focus list again. I know… I am a bit vain. And once I read this collection I start clicking on the links. Some I have jumped from before, others are new and enlightening.

I could mention more but I don’t want to use up the internet.

Matthew (firebubble),

Glad you appreciate these posts. They’re a very small gesture, and it’s the least I can do in return.

Patrick,

Good of you to say so. Thank you.

Rob,

Here’s hoping you’re a little closer to a decision, and that whatever route you take is a big success.

Mark,

Thanks very much for linking to my site in your blog sidebar. Great to have your ‘thumbs up’.

You clearly value your commentators David, like I do mine, we should always remember these people are our readership. Also we can learn from the experience of others, it’s one thing I enjoy about blogs.
