Hi all, I’m an aspiring blogger. What I meant by ”an aspiring blogger” is I want to continue doing this for a long time. I want to keep things professional, while at the same time keeping things interesting and entertaining.
Please check out my page(?):

Any insight, correction, tips or anything of help would be appreciated. After all this is my first time blogging and my first ever post.
Thanks.

Hi BABANAFANTASY,
Do write something about yourself in the About section. Right now it says “This is an example of a page. Unlike posts, which are displayed …” etc. This page is your second chance for the first impression, if the “first” first impression from the posts people read will get them curious enough to see who is writing all this. So it doesn’t look good to have a default meaningless text there.

So far, so good 🙂 Try to pick one topic and stick to that for the entire post (I’m curious about the mutism, what is that?). It sounds like you have a lot of topics in mind, so take one at a time. Good luck!

Indeed, I have lot in mind. As a matter of fact, I’m in the final stages of a new post that’s currently in the creation process.
You will also get to know more about the selective mutism part and how it had negative effect on my life later on in time. I’m sure that will be an interesting topic.

I am really confused about the difference between my self-hosted WordPress blog and this WordPress.com website. When I initially began doing research on how to start a blog, every single article insisted I pay for my own web host and avoid these training-wheeled blog sites.
Problem is, I am totally lost and don’t know what I’m doing. The information about blogging is overwhelming. Ignorance is my worst enemy, and I don’t feel like the blogs about blogging really care about helping people like me get started.
Since I paid actual money for my website, I intend to make it work and learn to love it. Why type of resources (and I’m talking ELEMENTARY-level) are out there for me to learn how my website works? I don’t want to add my weblink here because your “rules for comments” or whatever said we can’t put links to our site in our comments.

I checked out “WordPress for Dummies” from my local library about a month or so ago. There was a couple of chapters on the self-hosted versus the site-hosted.
I’m not brave enough to go self-hosted for now, but maybe one day. 🙂
Good luck and have fun!

If you can drop the paid version I’d suggest switching to a free blog until you know more about what you want from your website. I wouldn’t worry about posting your url. The guidelines talk about “shameless self-promotion” but not asking for help and feedback on your blog, which is what this is all about…kinda hard to give you much more advice unless we can see your site 🙂

Hey guys ! 🙂 This is my blog :
http://vandysnape.wordpress.com/
I have a separate page called ‘Vandy’s book nook’ where I post reviews for most of the books I read. I don’t usually write the reviews as separate blog posts (because I don’t want to turn my blog entirely into a book blog). But I have a feeling that the layout and general appearance of my page ‘Vandy’s book nook’ is not very good. Can you please suggest any changes ? Is it necessary or okay as it is ?
Thanks 🙂

Hi guys,
It would be great to get some feedback on this post of mine about my experience of trying to do some sports again:
What I was going for:
– easy to read
– funny
– not boring
– not banal
The things I’m interested in regarding your feedback:
– Language/sentence structure: is it easy to read or did you “stumble” over some clumsy structures?
– Is the length ok or did you get bored by the end?
– Was it interesting enough for you to voluntarily read the second part of it?
– What do you think of an idea to post the same story in two languages?
Thanks a lot in advance for your time.
Now I’ll go and read some posts of yours to return the favor 🙂

I know the frog reference is related to a fairytale and turning a frog to a prince. My question is. What do you call the female version of the frogs you have written about. Seem i have met all your frogs gender opposites. the one exception is the girl that is gay. all the rest are spot on. With the girl having a car with boom boom music and huge rims on the car instead of it being britney spares and other girly music she had country music and hardcore rock, and even some rap music too. She scared to poop out of me. I was afraid to break up with her even after i found out she had a boyfriend good thing we never slept or maybe i would have caught something.

Hi to all seeking feedback bloggers, those of you who posted in this section already and those of you to come,
I looked into several blogs that were referenced here already and would like to give a general feedback that happens to be common for all of them, and I’m sure will be relevant for some other blogs as well.
I’m sure most of you heard of Freshly Pressed. For those who haven’t: WordPress people manually select the posts they think are the best, mark them as “freshly pressed”, and post links to these posts at places where everybody could see them. That guaranties you hundreds and hundreds of readers and lots and lots of followers. Dou you know what one of the criteria they use to select a post is? Proper grammar. And WordPress people know what they are doing (see the full list of the criteria here: https://wordpress.com/support/freshly-pressed/)
I’m sure that they are not too strict on it, but if you have no idea how to use quotation marks (hint: if you use quotation marks only to stress the meaning of the word you fail), where to put your commas, which words should or shouldn’t be capitalized, etc., there is no chance you are getting there. Also, there is also little chance somebody else would read things you write on regular basis.
So first of all, get your basics straight, people. You might be taking a reader on a journey through a breathtaking landscape, but if the road is bumpy and full of holes, your reader will get off the bus before reaching the destination and will never come back again.
Hope it helps. Good luck to us all.
Take care,
Gill
