Review Week Comments and Feedback.

Today I'm gonna review weekly comments and the feedback I received. As a person who values feedback and doesn't take offense to it, I actually liked the feedback idea. I found the feedback I received was in great quality, I felt the feedback was fair and understandable. I also receiving comments as it made feel closer to my year, how they acted and how we would joke.

To be honest, after reading people's introduction blog, I started to hate my own introduction blog, everyone has a more interesting life, WE HAVE A WRESTLER! and me? I'm just a cub leader who like metal and generally focuses on their work rather then their friends. I thought about changing my blog and my introduction but to be honest, I forgot.

I found comments the most useful when it was easy to read, I hated when people would leave just walls of text, it's harder for me to read because of my dyslexia, in fact I had to get a RULER to read someone comment! Eventually I stopped reading the Berlin wall of text and remembered to returned my Brother's ruler, sorry Mark. I also found comments that talk about their game or their experience was useful. I felt it made the comment more relate-able and made their advice more value-full (Blogger is being weird with spelling, that or I'm an idiot.) in my eyes. 

Now, it time to discuss about how I gave feedback, obviously I gave flawless advice that people love and, okay all jokes a side, let's really get into it.

At first I didn't think much on commenting, just do this and get it over with, then I actually started doing it. I thought it was a simple task, I was wrong, I would spend minutes on someone's blog trying to find the blog I was supposed to comment before realizing that they used the wrong tag or didn't do the blog. So I back to the website, go to a different blog, hope to god that they did the blog and after finally a blog to comment on, I realized I had nothing to say.

I soon developed a plan, I would read the blog, then make points for the comment and finally write the comment. I tried to find positives and negative that I could write about in feedback, but this was sometimes really hard! There's was one time where I couldn't think of anything positive to say about the game and just wrote about the blog or how the person had good sketches ! I also had a situation where I couldn't think of anything negative to say about a blog and nitpick their game ! Oh I also had a time where i didn't know what to say about a blog at all and went back to the website!

I would try to be fair as possible but it was hard when you can only see the bad or only the good. Sometimes I felt like a complete jerk other times I felt like I was too soft.

Now it's time to look forward, I think I need to be more truthful, be nice about it of course, but, as my mam would say, "call a spade, a spade.". I also think some of my advice/tutorial weren't great, so I think I need to think harder about the advice I give and how I give it. I also think it might be time to make some changes to my blog and how it looks.
