		<description>I can see the temptation of #1, having gotten into blogging when it was hot.  My old blog skyrocketed to the heights of popularity.  Now, it gets a small, but respectable following.  I went through a phase where all I wanted was to get my rank high again and it made me miserable.

Resisting #2 has been a discipline.  Not only avoiding what it current, but what is simply controversial.  Rants &amp; polemics have their place, but most often they are cheap ways to get a crowd.  Again, some do it artfully.  Not me.

Thankfully #3 is no problem for me, as I easily achieve humility that borders of godlike.  Seriously though, this one is such a trap.  I think I have done it several times, not out of false humility, but out of a genuine concern that the neutral medium of blogging can give one a tone of superiority.  At any rate, I good reminder.

I&#039;d comment on #4, but my laptop is aging and I can&#039;t share my wisdom... unless some of you out there wan- kidding!

Peace,
