I didn't commit an ad hominem fallacy. I did not say that her blog is invalid because of her character. I was just commenting on her character (actually more so on her work tbh).
i.e. an insult is not an ad hominem.
This is an ad hominem: "Your argument is wrong because <insult to character>."
This is not an ad hominem: "<insult to character. Particularly an insult that they often wrong>"
