Blogging has been very good for me in at least one area - It has been teaching me humility.
I am accustomed to being very quick on the uptake. By this, I mean that I seldom have to read things more than once to make sense of them, and I am very good at putting together the pieces of mental puzzles. I collect trivia, and I have actually been on 3 TV game shows, the last of which was Jeopardy (not that I was a big winner or anything, but hey, just getting on is a pretty big accomplishment).
But the intricacies of blogging software and all the little neat features - well, it might as well have been Greek to me. I have had to ask for help at almost every step of the way, and for me this is not easy (ask my husband. He used to get mad at me because I would walk over and get something that was sitting next to him so that I wouldn't have to ask him to hand it to me). And not only have I needed to ask for help once, but over and over again for stuff that I really feel stupid over. This has been, as I said, very good for me. Thank you all for your patience.

Asking for help is not nearly as bad as wasting precious hours or days on your own when the solution could be right at your fingertips.
On the other hand, I'm one of those ferociously independent types myself. I'd drive in circles for hours before asking directions.
Hi!
I heard you were asking about me. I'm still alive and such, just no more blogging. :)
It was too much of a source of attention for me.
God Bless,
