Well you can see them in my game archive... I seem to making the dumbest of blunders... or my opponents keep outplaying me...

Before you make a move, double-check to see if your opponent has an obvious winning response (like capturing a hanging piece for free).

Don't hang pieces? :)  To be fair, I have a lot of trouble following this advice as well.

I used to be a 1900 in Online Chess.. I'm a 1460 in OTB USCF....

I know the things that you are saying... (Joe and Gargle)

I just lost another one on mouse slip, that wasnt my fault that time..

I agree; tactics are of the utmost importance. After making a move, just relax your mind for a while, then take a look to the position again to check that you've not made any obvious errors. As for being outplayed... only studying and experience can help.
