1. Is it safe leaving my desktop unplugged overnight?

Yes

And will my pc be damaged from a power outage when shut down?

No. A power surge maybe, but not an outage.

 

EDIT: As a caveat, do not plug-unplug-replug in a very short period of time unless you have to. There's a surge protection component in the PSU that can burn out if you do this rapidly multiple times.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

Yes and not if you use a power strip

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.
