Glad you liked the list. My real new home is working out well too - you'll love it next time you're over :-) Space Age Sage - that's priceless! I think I'll run that thought through my head whenever I'm suffering from blogging overwhelm too Robyn, thanks for the link. You're right, linking out is so important, especially in the early days. Although there might be a lot of technical things you've not learned yet, you know the things that do matter - like generosity, helpfulness, a willingness to learn, offering encouragement and help to others. I know you helped me a lot when I first started. Those are the things that really matter :-) To get your picture showing here you need to sign up your e-mail and a photo with gravatar http://en.gravatar.com/ - only takes a minute. Lots of bloggers have this on their sites now so it's worth doing if you want your picture to show up next to your comments Hi Jeanne, thanks for the feedback on the site and yes absolutely, where'd we be without the support and each others help (and to be honest, what would be the point, and the fun, if we weren't doing it together?) Joanna Hi Liz, thanks for popping by! Glad you liked the list. My real new home is working out well too – you’ll love it next time you’re over :-)

Hi Jeanne, thanks for the feedback on the site and yes absolutely, where’d we be without the support and each others help (and to be honest, what would be the point, and the fun, if we weren’t doing it together?)

Where would we be without their support? Excellent post! Jeanne P.S. Love your new site! Joanna,

I'll have to change my link to you site. Now that was one of the first things I learned as a blogger - that there are links and they help you recognize other people in the blogosphere. Joanna, the scary thing about your list is that there are some things there that I've yet to learn and I'm hoping that doesn't matter either. :-) <abbr><em>Robyn McMasters last blog post..<a href="http://brainbasedbiz.blogspot.com/2008/08/why-are-some-leaders-more-inventive.html" rel="nofollow">Why Are Some Leaders More Inventive than Others?</a></em></abbr> What a surprise to visit Confident Writing and to discover that you’ve moved.

I had no idea we could form these kind of friendships either - life changing conversations that would alter us all for ever (for the better). All the more reason to encourage others to 'just do it!'. Just jump in, the water's lovely Joanna Karen, what a wonderful perspective.
