What did I learn by not blogging?

A long layoff comes to an end.
What did I learn?
* Blogging is an outlet often without filter. Be wary.
* Blogging is best kept short, especially if you don’t know exactly what you are talking about.
* Blogging is best kept very long, especially if you know exactly what you are talking about.
* Political blogs are the Hostess snack cakes of the blogosphere.
* Social media blogs sometimes, but rarely, have great gems of interestingness.
* It’s OK to make up words.
* It’s still OK to be nice.
* It’s OK to ask questions.
* It’s OK to answer them.
* When in doubt, bullet points.
* Smile.
