Good post. One thing I may not agree with, however. I don't think for a blogging buddy, or buddies, that in the beginning you should connect with as many as possible. I think quantity is more important than quality. I do believe, however, in building a large network on, say, Twitter, or even in some forums. But each of these is not going to be as close to you as a blogging buddy or buddies. A blogging buddy has to be someone who can give you real advice, real help, and even constructive negative comments (as Henrick mentions above). Not everyone should be your blogging buddy. Choose a good one or few. Then network with many bloggers in and outside of your niche! .-= krissy knox´s last blog ..What was your favorite dish in your Thanksgiving meal? =-.

To give constructive critic, and then act. Respond to the critic, use the critic. That’s important.

I think the one thing missing in your description is the fact that one should also be able to accept negative comments. When constructive it enhances your own blogging experience.

Not all people can handle criticism, but when done constructively it is of great value to all parties involved.
