Learning to blog

im new to blogging so i want to make sure i dont make any crazy mistakes like i did when i first joined twitter.  i was warned that twitter lingo can be confusing so i used to google everything i didnt understand before posting comments. boy did i feel bad when i learned that BOL meant "bark out loud" and not "be on later" like google had told me... im pretty sure i lost some friends when i said things like "im sorry you dont feel well BOL..." yikes! no worries because i think im catching-on to this blogging thing pretty quick... except i cant figure out why no food comes out when i click the SPAM button on my inbox...
