Blog Critiques Available

Let me start by stating that I am NOT an blog expert by any means. However, I have looked a lot of blogs and studied them probably more closely than most people do. I have read and followed what blogging experts advise (and I really do agree with), and the results are the blogs I own, Beautiful Blog Designs and Moving Forward.

I have accumulated a lot of information for this blog and done my best to categorize it in a way that is very user friendly. But, I think that there may be so much information, some important, simple things get overlooked. So, I am going to start offering to do blog critiques. What does that mean? Well, you simply send me an email asking me to take a look at your site to see if there is any thing you can add or change to make your blog more reader friendly and more appealing.

Don't worry, I will not be publicizing the critiques, they will simply be email between us. All I ask is that after the critique, if you made changes and are happy with them, that you mention Beautiful Blog Designs in a post or by putting my button in your sidebar (maybe just temporarily since I am not in favor of tons of buttons).

If you would like a critique, please include the following information in your email:

  • Your first name
  • Your blog address
  • How long you have been blogging
  • Anything else you think is pertinent

Halloo...I don't dare ask fer a blog critique. I think I would be crushed. LOL...but what a generous offer! Especially for those new to blogging, yr critique could be so helpful!

Amanda said...

I love you, Olde Dame! You are such a character and so supportive! Thank you!

By the way, I already had someone take me up on the offer. Yay! She didn't need much help though, and already has a great start for her blog. I was honored she asked though.

I just wanted to let you know that I've got a half off sale right now. EVERYTHING from buttons to a complete design is half off the normal price. And yes, I would love a critique of my site. Any advice, suggestions, or places where you see mistakes would be GREATLY appreciated!
