And maybe worst of all, if you're good enough at getting away with it, no one knows you're doing it but you.

Or, rather, as you go on to say in the next paragraphs, the worst part is that you might not know that you're doing it. In the vein of feedback, I would probably make this clearer in this sort of punch-line sentence. To help you decide how much to update on this, I read lots, but haven't yet written many blog posts.

Excellent point, I've added to that sentence both for consistency and to make it flow better into the next paragraph. Thanks!
