There comes a point when, after you've researched till you think your head will explode, that you need to just start acting. More advice is always available. You can continuously read about best practices, tips, tricks and many other different things that are supposed to help you, but at some point, you need to cut the cord. I love how you put it, "Get out there without really knowing what you’re doing and start making mistakes." I always tell people that they're never going to improve unless they start making mistakes, because you don't learn that much from not messing up…so hurry up and get out there and start messing up! :) I fully agree.

I definitely didn't include those links to suggest that people shouldn't visit those sites. My actual intention was the opposite -- to mention some sites I love. I probably could have worded the transition better. So, yeah...I gotta learn by making those mistakes. I just posted a comment on your site, Michael (everyone please read his post here).
