		<description>Stephen, you are the one that is incorrect, maybe you are misunderstanding me.The voyage that he took to try to reach Asia was the voyage in which he accidently ended up in the western hemisphere.The whole point of the trip was to find a new trade route to Asia, yes he tried to sail to Asia by sailing westward.Columbus was incompetent, an idiot and a fool.Just because someone accidently stumbled upon gold doesn&#039;t make them smart, if the author of this blog would have done his research he wouldn&#039;t have written this blog.I am done with this and also this website because of this ridiculous blog, it makes me question the validity of the author.And I don&#039;t know of anyone that celebrates &quot;Columbus Day&quot;, no one cares.</description>

		<description>Lulu, You are incorrect, but I&#039;m not going to argue it past what I say here.  Columbus knew the world was round and he sailed WEST.  His own logs show him taking westerly routes the whole time.  You need to &quot;revamp&quot; your comment.  He sailed west to go east and he sailed east to go home west because he believed the earth was round.

		<description>Columbus Bolumbus, who cares! :) That&#039;s not your point. I get your point loud and clear. Corrections are fine, but often we humans get caught up in examining the tooth pick and miss the entire HUGE forest filled with vitally alive trees. I prefer to go for the forest you offer us. The rest is irrelivant to me. Thank you for a GREAT post dear Dragos. I badly need this info. 

I have a question: Now I read your 100 ways to improve your blog and am curious; are THOSE the ways to build incoming links? I really was hoping you WOULD go more into more detail on this. It&#039;s juicy information. LOL! :)  I wish you would do a post specifically on this. I think it&#039;s THAT important and I don&#039;t really know what it means or how to actively go about it. I comment on other post, but I&#039;ve a feeling there is more I should be doing. Would LOVE to hear more about this. 

Thank you for another GREAT post Dragos. I am so enjoying these. Good job you are doing. Robin

		<description>Stephen, Columbus&#039;s did think the earth was flat,his initial intention was to sail east to find a new and better trade route to Asia and he thought he was sailing around Africa to get to Asia and somehow accidently stumbled in the &quot;West Indies&quot; or the carribean.That&#039;s how incompetent he was!lol.After the initial discovery of &quot;the new world&quot; that&#039;s when he set sail again this time knowing he was sailing to the west.called The blogger did mean America as in the U.S. sorry can&#039;t sugarcoat that.I guess if more research was done it would be more credibility to the story.</description>

		<description>Dragos, I got the point.  I think the metaphor works and was obviously well thought out.  This and your 100 ways article are fantastic resources about blogging that I thoroughly appreciate.  I think your 100 ways post is the best I&#039;ve ever seen for what it was trying to do.

		<description>Columbus sailed 4 voyages in which he discovered the New World for Europe.  I don&#039;t believe he ever landed in what is now the U.S. but he certainly landed in &quot;America&quot; (You know Central and South?).  On one voyage I believe he hit south America and on another I believe he landed in Central America.  His 1st voyage came very close to Florida when he landed in the Bahamas.  That&#039;s my contribution of a 35 year-old memory of schooling.   

As far as revamping you said he believed the world was flat.  Huh?  He sailed west to go to almost straight east to EAST Asia on a flat earth?  Columbus in no way thought the earth was flat.  His whole point was to circle around the globe, which he way underestimated in size.

A comparison between blogging and sailing. Oh, and the answer to the question: who the heck is that &quot;Santa Maria&quot; in the title :-)...</description>

		<description>Those are inspiring words for a writer I admire a lot. Sailing on the Mississippi surely was an enlightening experience for Samuel Clemens. The guy we all know today as being Mark Twain, of course ;-)</description>
