Newbie mistakes can still be valuable lessons

Newbie mistakes can still be valuable lessons

Hi everybody! Sorry I disappeared. It wasn't my choice. I made some mistakes that got my writing privileges revoked. I thought I was helping people, but apparently, it was not seen as help.

Well, lesson learned! I will not be posting any links to any of my blogs, unless I am specifically asked to do so. Even then, I will probably only do it in a PM and only if asked to do so.

I believe that every lesson that I get here at WA is a valuable one. Grass can grow, even in cement. I made a bad decision, but it will not hold me back. So I will file this one away and move on!

In the mean time, it is good to be back!

I have missed my e-friends!

I still love WA and I hold no grudges. I would just like to use this experience to warn all newbies:

DON'T POST LINKS TO YOUR SITES OR YOUR BLOGS. EVEN IF YOU HAVE THE BEST OF INTENTIONS, JUST DON'T DO IT!

Trust me, there are other ways to help people and it is not worth getting blocked for your efforts!

I hope that the lesson I learned the hard way, will be useful to someone else!

Happy to be back,

Virginia
