First, try to get your shrub to bloom, then worry about pruning it. I wouldn't prune it this year if you don't have any flowers. That article is just saying some people prune late in the year, thereby cutting off the buds forming for the next year.

This article should help determine what's wrong:

Check your fertilization (needs high phosphorous) and amount of light it receives.
