I have to link to this post from Darren at Problogger.net. His list of reasons why having a blog is like having a baby are filled with great insights. With children of my own, I know where he’s coming from and can see some of the parallels. As I remarked in a comment on his post, the parenting skills I’ve learned over the years have really helped me in my blogging, namely in being patient and being able to force myself to clean up messes.
