What if the sole focus of feedback was to encourage those seeking it, creating a progression in design learning by prompting more of the good, while purposely leaving weaker facets un-criticised?

Every now and again I like to ask you, my reader, what you think about my blog. You’re taking the time out of your day to visit, read and interact through the article comments, and it’s important for me to ask for your feedback.

Comments are the life-blood of any blog community, and it’s with delight that I can give a special mention to the person who left the 3,000th comment here on my website.

Your website opens doors to contacts you’d never imagine you’d meet. Now more than ever, millions of people have access to your online presence, and whether you like it or not, they’ll immediately judge you upon your site design.

To be honest, I was reluctant to take on this ReviewMe review for EarnMyDegree.com.

I haven’t worn a watch since my last one was ripped from my arm by a drunken hooligan, but I’ve been asked to write a website critique for Watchband.biz, an e-commerce site offering replacement watch straps.

In the spirit of giving back to those who read your blog (the SOAP programme I wrote about earlier) Dawud Miracle, of Healthy WebDesign, has kindly written quite an in-depth critique of my logo design website.

At the start of the month, Easton Ellsworth, of Business Blogwire, initiated Pass the SOAP — a nice idea for helping others improve their blogs.

A few weeks ago I asked you how can I improve my blog? I thought the response was superb!
