We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found the answer is community. – Dorothy Day. This is a guest post by Frank Dickinson. If you have community, you have a lot. This is even true when it comes to your blog. There is no better feeling than building a growing and interactive community of readers on your site. That amazing feeling doesn’t just happen.

In an effort to better explain to friends and colleagues what I do and where my passions lie, and to illustrate who I am to those who don’t know me at all, I changed my LinkedIn summary yesterday.
