I knew you'd have such great posts! this is awesome. I get questions about this stuff all the time, especially swapping. What a great resource to send newbies to. I don't think people realize how long these things take to catch on. I was blogging into the wind for months and months (and months!) before anyone noticed. brilliant!

I like how my blog looks in Bloglines, but if I didn't I'm not sure how I would change that. Isn't that something that Typepad decided and I have to live with?I joined the San Francisco Craft Mafia ring, but one of the things I'm supposed to do is put an image on my home page (they provide the code). I haven't a clue how to do this, since I am non-techy and I just follow Typepad's awesome templates.Another rule I follow in my blog (since I talk about regular life as well as crafty projects) is NEVER talk about my day job, mention it by name, complain about it. I've read too many blogs where the authors were fired for having a little too much freedom of speech. Great advice, thanks.
