I'd add a little on the limits and say obviously don't move up limits too fast if your bankroll can't support it. I know a lot of people, including myself, who do it/have done it when starting out.

Nice post. A couple things I want to add.
When you say you need to find the right game type I would use this for the majority of play. I used to only play $1 or $5 Sit-N-Go's. I did pretty well but then took a dramatic downswing. I went over to ring games and learned them. Now I'm enturing over to Massive MTT's and doing ok. I think that unless you going to lose at the other types of game you should learn to play so you have more options to break a downswing.
Second about picking a site. It's true that every site is different but I change my playing style at each site. If I'm at a site with more experienced players I find that I do really well playing extremely tight. More experienced players will try to out play each other and if you only play the cards you should do ok. If I'm at a site full of "Newbies" then you can loosen up a little and do ok because a lot of them will call with nothing. Learning the site is just as important as choosing it.

familiar for YOUR situation.
Reason #1: Not Picking The Right Game Type
OK, so here's my big "aha" for online poker.
It was this "aha" that INSTANTLY transformed my winnings
from "decent" to "tremendous"...
Are you ready?
Here we go:
One of the biggest SECRETS to winning online is to play the
RIGHT GAME TYPE for YOUR UNIQUE STYLE.
Not only that... but you need to ADAPT your strategy for
EACH GAME TYPE you enter.
Let me explain...
When I say "game type", I'm referring to the many ariations
of ring games and tournaments. That includes shorthanded
games, "turbo" ersions, heads-up matches, and more.
The KEY is that your strategy should NOT be the same for
