I had to stop reflexively turning on the computer every morning to check for comments, traffic, et cetera. Hence my late response; didn't click on the PC until 2 p.m. today! Cheer me on! And best of luck with your blogging! :-) Yes, it can be addicting. I had to stop reflexively turning on the computer every morning to check for comments, traffic, et cetera.

I haven't enjoyed a new hobby so much in a long time. I just keep noticing that this fun keeps me up late and in front of my computer for hours. I agree with all of your points — especially #4!
