I totally agree with the Work-Life Balance part in this list. Before I switched hosts, I had literally spent hours on my blog posting random posts and stuffs that only I myself would like to see - random videos. Not long later I was totally burnt out. And had caused a major lag in my front page. Well, look at the difference now in my newly re-setup blog (i lost all my old stuffs though), and check the times I actually do post. Huge difference. :D More manageable for myself too. :) Yes! I totally agree with the Work-Life Balance part in this list.

They are are great inspirations to us newbies. I started two blogs simultaneously, and have my work cut out for me. I've been learning the hard way, made some of the same mistakes as you, and a few others, like getting into blogging before I had done all of my homework, and banging my head against the wall because I didn't understand some of the blogging "language". I, too, use WordPress and have from the beginning. I love the ability to post date, and use that when the creative juices are flowing. If I'm not feeling creative, I use that time to do product reviews or showcase advertisers (on my second blog). Thanks for sharing.
