You know that continuation bet thingy? I suck at it, yeah. It's a good thing Hold 'Em isn't a 50 street game or I'd be broke. Where do I give it up here?

Lets talk about this continuation thing. For me it is like an itchy hemorroid that I can not scratch enough to make the itch go away. When is the best time to scratch this puppy and when do we just suffer through the flop? I find that I spew the worst with this play that I wish I had never heard about.
I understand a continuation bet as a bet you make when you miss the flop but want to represent that it hit you and your hand is going according to plan hense the name continuation bet. When do you want to use it? It is very expensive for me because I miss the flop, bet the flop, miss the turn too and then if I bet again I have a toliet hand and if I check I show weakness and someone bets into me.
Obviously I am over using this play in the wrong spots. When and how is it appropriate?
