Ten things I’ve learned about blogging:
1. Blogging requires discipline and commitment.2. Your blog is you.
3. You shouldn’t take yourself too seriously.
4. Your beliefs should be grounded in bedrock.
5. Political/Current Events blogging requires an energetic mind that is wired to rapidly collect, coalesce, and synthesize data.
6. You should be able to write well, and to pen an aphorism once in awhile.
7. You should be an insatiable reader.
8. You should be curious about damn near everything.
9. You should have a yearning to improve humanity.
10. You should have at least one pair of asbestos underwear.
Thanks to the tallglassofmilk for the real-world education. I truly appreciate it.
Moze,
You learn fast. I've been here since last August (oooh Drink this...'s 1 year anniversary is coming) and probably still couldn't sum the blogging up as succinctly.
So, of course you're welcome for the "real-world education," but more than that you are thanked for being a real-world thinker.
And even more than that, you are appreciated for indrectly filling my glass with all that high praise in your blogging points. It's quite overwhelming to know that in knowing/learning all of that, you became and are still a faithful reader (and now contributer) of Drink this... and with a full glass of humility, I accept it all!

I like it. Especially because I think I meet all ten criteria.
