You cannot wait for someone to "appoint" you an expert. You need to claim the title for yourself. Regards, Mark Aaron — I remembered something else last night when I was thinking about this.

When I first started my blogworld blog, it was a place for me to record things I was learning so I didn't forget them. I also figured there were others who might need help with the really "basic" stuff to do with blogging. So when it comes to "blogging", I'm nowhere near an expert BUT hope that I do have something to offer my target audience. Aaron - I think you make good points. And NO-ONE can ever know anything so why people feel it's "bad" to admit they don't know something is an area I struggle to understand. The "negative" side of blog comments (attacks etc) is an area that concerns me. I HATE conflict of any kind. I think your thoughts on not retaliating are VERY wise.

Because one of my blogs is in the creating-your-own-happiness niche I'm sometimes tempted to clarify that I'm not setting myself up as a moral expert. But I resist this route and share details that make my points. That works better for all. Your last piece of advice re: not attacking or being defensive is critical. It's easy to respond to positive remarks; it's how we respond to negative responses that is the true display of character. Thanks for sharing these important points.

Being able to admit you don't know is a great strength. I had my first really defensive comments the other day, was interesting that when I replied in a calm and thoughtful way, I had no negative responses Great advice Aaron,
