No problems, but do take their advice on mash temperatures and stuff. There is a lot of knowledge on here and I don't think anyone is here to look down on other less experienced brewers, just some people are blunter than others when it comes to advice, take all the advice you can but don't take anything too personally. We are all here to help.
Bluntness is good, without it everyone would just tell everyone they are doing great not matter what they are doing.

t-bag, dont listen to all these negative do-gooders. People are always critical of those who try to achieve a goal. Do the blog just as you see fit. These folks are not experts.

Thanks Paula Abdul. Our combined posts did more to help him than your "you can be anything you want to be" nonsense. He asked for feedback and he got constructive, actionable criticism. I have written multiple successful blogs on a variety of topics so I know what I'm talking about.

Indeed 
t-bag, another thing that hasn't been mentioned is you need to determine what the point of your blog is. Revenue, Personal Journal, Reference Material? I would suggest eliminating the reference material goal because there is already a wealth of information on forums like this. If the goal is revenue then you need to start formulating your posts so they drive the most traffic and keep people interested in returning. Then you can implement affiliate links to stores or Google Adsense ads to make money. If the goal is just a personal journal then who cares what we all think?

Tbag, the most important thing to remember these days is to NOT immulate anything from Cali. Theirs is a failed State. All the talented folks from the Golden State have or in the process of moving to TX, NV, CO, NM.....and that includes beer brewing and blogs.
Just follow your ideas for the Beer Blog. The best part is, there are no consequences for a failed blog....just experience.
