HI Becky! Glad to see you at the Hop! Sorry I goofed up the question! I modified it a bit. That's what I get for doing these things before I go to sleep at night! Silly me! I'll be back tomorrow to check out some of the posts you referenced. I'm especially intrigued by the article on titles!

I'm worried about the GFC widget and getting that configured correctly.  I want to be sure that people who are following me will still be able to see my posts in Google Reader.  I use Feedburner for RSS, so I think I'll be okay there, I hope!!

I'm also having issues importing my comments from intensedebate.. Grr...

Ohh! Never heard of that one!!

Ahh.. good point!  Thanks for mentioning that!

Please share as you see fit.  Thank you for the support!

Faye, I have to admit that I do that a lot.  I will read some of my reviews and think that they are just plain terrible.  Then I'll read a favorite blogger's posts and how amazingly written they are and I'll feel especially inadequate!!  It's not so much about caring what other people think than just writing from your heart and sharing what you feel.  People will connect with you if you are honest and just be who you are.  I hope that helps.  Keep it going!  :)

Oooh, I've never been called brilliant before!!  You've made my day!  Thanks!  I'm so glad this has helped you and that you continue on with your book blog!  Remember to do it for YOU and for no one else!  That's the key!

Oh, I'm sorry :(  Try again later?

Well, I don't feel like anyone special in the blogging world, so I definitely suffer from insecurities on a daily basis.  One thing I've come to realize is this:  If someone else has beat you to the punch about a topic idea, it doesn't mean that YOU still can't post about it and say it in a new/different way.  If you feel compelled to post about something, post about it!  You can always link to the other person's post if you feel more comfortable!  Don't let someone else's post stop you from posting about it yourself.  We all have something to say and we all say it differently, so go for it!
