Glad you got the social links fixed. I understand, I too have the same approach with a topic like blogging. When you're confident in your knowledge and can draw from your experiences, you've got good going for you. I agree, putting your own spin on things is simply allowing who you are to shine through without worry about what others think. It's about being yourself, as simple as that seems: a lot of folks struggle with it because they think they have to adapt or at least try to, take on someone else style. Anyhow, until later. :) Thanks for the lengthy reply. Glad you got the social links fixed. I understand, I too have the same approach with a topic like blogging.

I noticed Twitter is running kind of slow at the moment (for me, anyway), so perhaps that has something to do with it. (Edit: Ah...I just noticed all of the social media links in the post are messed up. Thanks for letting me know). As far as talking about blogging, I don't find it too difficult. It's not the main topic of this blog, just something I like to discuss from time to time because it has a lot to do with writing, especially these days. But you're right: the niche is very crowded. I think the best way to get around that (like I mentioned in the post) is to make your advice personal and put your own unique spin on things. I've been running this blog for over a year now (and a few others before this...in fact I've been working with the Internet since the AOL 3.0 days), so I feel comfortable just sharing what I've learned along the way. I don't really worry about the over-saturation of the niche, because I figure someone, somewhere, is going to find something I write useful. I try not to worry too much about it. Thanks for your comment. ;) Hey Miguel,

Your Twitter link doesn't work. :) What's new? When discussing "how to be a blogger," do you find it difficult? The reason I ask is because this niche is crowded, and it seems like around every corner I find (myself included), blogging about blogging. Just wondering your thoughts and wanting to get a better understanding of your approach? -Mig Hello Rob,

I like what you’ve got going on here. Your Twitter link doesn’t work. :) What’s new? When discussing “how to be a blogger,” do you find it difficult? The reason I ask is because this niche is crowded, and it seems like around every corner I find (myself included), blogging about blogging. Just wondering your thoughts and wanting to get a better understanding of your approach?
