I will definitely read it. I already made a special bookmark for it. ((Deneb))
I'm glad you're doing it, but don't forget what a free-wheeling place the Web really is.....people may post who-knows-what to you, and you may have to find more ways to have a *very* thick skin. For example, you mentioned....

I haven't gone to your site again yet, so I hope I'm not misunderstanding, but I have 2 things I say (sometimes over and over) to myself at reactions like that:
"who cares?"
"so what?"I really do find those useful to repeat in my head. The "so what?" comes out of an old exercise my ex-T (pdoc) used to do in our CBT group, to help show us how we were jumping to huge conclusions based on the reactions (or often the anticipated reactions) of others, which then led to bad feelings about ourselves.
Other peoples' opinions of your writing, etc., do NOT change the way your friends feel about you, not do they change your value, which is great.
