I've never had the sort of real life friendships where you can just call people up to chat about nothing like you can on Twitter and to be able open up my world for people on my blog and read about so many other wonderful ones is brilliant!

Realising that was what transformed blogging for me. And I think it's what a lot of newbies don't get at first and why it can feel so frustrating. <br><br>Oh and I can pull of referring to 'newbies' now I am a *veteran* blogger of ten whole months.

It's definitely one of those things where you have to not be shy and jump in with both feet.
