Desk Ergonomics 101

I have been blogging since February of 2010, and I've written for Weddingbee since September of 2010.  Over that last year or so, I've developed some lovely numbness and tingling along the medial side of my right hand (along the pinky finger).  Of course, I'm a physical therapist so I know how to treat it and it's fine, but it got me thinking about body mechanics and the ergonomics of blogging.  I used to blog on the couch with my laptop in my lap.  I'm sure my posture looked something like this:

The truth is that laptops should not be used in one's lap...not for an extended period of time, anyway.

Now that I have a nice little writing nook, I purchased these little desk accessories from The Ferris Wheels on Etsy.  The padding helps to maintain a neutral wrist position.

Okay, so we've got the wrists taken care of, but what about the rest of the body?  Well, I've compiled a list of tips to take to your workstation:

You're welcome.  That will be $200.  ;)

Have any of you developed any overuse injuries from blogging?
