I don't believe I've ever referred to myself as an "expert" and wouldn't do so. I would however like your input on the post itself if you're going to join this conversation. Thanks!

Personally, I’d say that if you don’t have at least a year’s experience for some online skill, aside from just writing about it, then you shouldn’t call yourself an expert in it.

So many of us are control freaks that we are scared to really get down and gritty with blogging. Lift moderation. Let people speak. Be prepared to defend your posts - and let people chat. That's where community building starts. I would add: Let the conversation flow. So many of us are control freaks that we are scared to really get down and gritty with blogging. Lift moderation.
