1. I can’t figure out how to work a trackback.
   Do I put code somewhere? Does it do it automatically? What the heck is a URI? The only “pingbacks” I seem to get are on the posts I write where I refer to my other posts. Isn’t that kind of incestuous?
2. I have no idea what CSS is.
   And the only HTML I know is how to make something bold and how to insert a line break.
3. My “Authority” on Technorati is only 25, and I’m ranked number 331,293.
   That sounds bad, doesn’t it?
4. I do a horrible job of visiting the blogs of people who comment on my blog.
   No one likes a selfish blogger, right?
5. I can’t stand the look of ads on a blog.
   Isn’t that the way people generate income with blogs?
6. I’ve used the same Wordpress template as half the blogs I visit.
   This one doesn’t allow my pictures to be very wide, so I keep shrinking the cartoons almost to the point of being unreadable.
7. I can’t figure out a way to use all the widgets and gadgets and add-ons that other blogs have.
   Some of the ones I’ve seen have monitors for how many calories the blogger had that day. How can I compete with that?
8. I haven’t done most of the tricks that I wrote about in the post “What If You Gave a Blog and No One Came?“
   If I don’t take my own advice, who will?

Guess I’ll have to stick to trying to make a living writing other people’s blogs, newsletters, brochures, etc.
