I really like the approach you have taken to your book reviews. I found them interesting particularly your post on Marlowe. Your opinions were easy to understand and i thought clearly set out.
As a suggestion from someone who is also a relatively new blogger it might be worth using the “more” button. That way you can skip through the posts easily to find one you are interested in more easily.
Any comments you have on my book review blog would also be appreciated http://www.browney237.com as it is so hard to get feedback.
All the best.

Hey swimmers,
I want to create a submission page for my blog i.e. allow other bloggers to submit their own photos to my page. What would be the best way to do this/ can you with the free WordPress formats or do you need to pay for an expensive upgrade?
Furthermore, do you suggest creating a separate email account for posts? Is there a way to get some kind of integrated WordPress inbox with my blog?
Thanks for your help 🙂

Hey there! Also looking for some feedback! I’ve been blogging for almost 2 years, on pretty much anything related to expat parenting, life with the foreign service, raising third-culture children. It’s a travel blog, where I share our ‘visual perceptions’ of places we end up moving to… anyway, recently, I discovered that one can have more than one photo/image gallery as part of the same post… [I know, I’m probably a bit behind the curve! :o] – and one could have slideshows AND circle galleries AND whatever other type of photo display… It’s the first time I packed a full trip in one post… some 45 images… AND THEY DON’T PACK THE POST! 😮 So, here is my kind request for your realistic feedback: ‘How does it look?’ All comments are welcome [including let’s say… ‘lady, you should move away from blogging, and try doing something else…’:o] Thank you all in advance!

Hello, I like your cartoons. I have never been a fan of the three column layouts but that is a more personal thing, could well be because I am easily distracted and never know where to look on them. Maybe you could add a flickr feed (if you have a account) so peope can go look at more of your photos. I am going to try your wrap receipe, it sounds super tasty.

My blog is a rather niche one on heritage and stories of Delhi. While I have often heard the advantages of writing about topics of “local interest” I wonder if I have made this too narrow a readership segment. Any thoughts or past experiences on this would be very helpful.
Also would appreciate ideas to broaden the types of posts within this niche.
Thanks in advance everyone!

I would really appreciate any constructive feedback on our travel blog, especially regarding the recent post. Trying a new blogging experience: asking readers to think about their comments, even before they begin reading thru the post – trying to deal with readers expectations, better saying… 😮 Also, its the first time I’m trying different types of image galleries in the same post [tiled, circles, squares…]. Please, let me know how the whole idea is working out [or not!] to you… Thank you in advance! 😮

I have been doing blogs on and off for a while now, just me alone, with friends and family reading it getting upset because I told the truth and they didn’t like it. Anyway I did a very stupid thing while removing old data bases from my server, I clicked delete, with other things in my mind, I hit delete before ice ran through my veins, I realised that it was a year and a half of my life, photos, poems, muses gone.
I don’t swear much, but I made up for the years of not swearing. Anyway this time I have joined the WordPress gang, I used wordpress before but never knew that life outside the blog was as interesting as it is on wordpress.com.
You can have a look at my blog here. http://www.mysoresoul.co.uk enjoy. 🙂 …… bit of feed back would be nice please. 🙂
