Part of it <em>was</em> luck and timing: I started blogging when there was already a site like Problogger to help prepare me, so I didn't make a lot of the more commonly complained about mistakes, like using blogspot, or not getting my own domain name, or using the wrong permalink structure. And I chose to use Wordpress right when v2 just came out, which has many more useful features (publish ahead, full preview, etc.). If I'd had to upgrade from 1.5, I'd probably have had plenty of headaches to deal with. What I mean is that blogging is so flexible and open that you might not know you're making a mistake until you've tried it, and what one person considers a mistake isn't necessarily true for the next. But taking my own site as an example: if I'd started using RSS sooner, I wouldn't have had a strong enough body of posts prepared to keep an audience (e.g. low content). If I'd started focusing on writing that body, then I wouldn't have had time to configure my blog's layout and learn some CSS and PHP. And so on. We can always wish we'd everything right and all at once, but in my opinion, this sort of effort is better off being focused on different areas in our lives. Of course, if you're running your blog as your business, this is probably not true. @Leon: Not that I didn’t make any mistakes, but that they didn’t matter.
