Good Reads and Re-evaluation

It feels like I have taken a three week (live) break on poker and I have taken that time to catch up on some reading and re-evaluating some leaks in my game. I read a good article today about Defending Blinds in Limit Hold 'Em which was a big flaw in my game. As quoted from another Cardplayer article:
"Over the course of your poker career, you will lose money in the blinds. People hate hearing and believing this, but it's true. No matter how well you play, it is simply a terrible idea to put money into a pot from out of position without looking at your hand. No amount of post-flop skill can make up for it. Obviously, some people will lose a lot more than others, but all of us will be net losers in the blind positions."Just like Pete said in a commented post below "some players just cant win on some sites". I am thinking of taking another $200-500 shot at AP or maybe Pokerstars, but I am leaning towards AP as to try something new. Partypoker and I were just not meant to be. I think I will wait another month or so before I take another stab at online poker, spend some time relaxing and reading on the poker front.
Update: I put this topic up on 2+2 and the author of the article responded, read the thread here.
