This is not for the bloggers but for the readers! So, you all have your favorite blogs and not so favorite blogs. No assumptions over there. But, no blog is perfect. Sometimes, you might have some readability issues or slow loading issues or some other issues with any blog.
These issues can be technical in nature or may be in her/his writing skills or in pictorial representations on the post or may be a lack of detail in the post. The issues can range far beyond what I have stated. So, have you ever thought that by letting the blogger know about your issues, you might help her improve the blog?

same feeling. I truly believe the readers must say if they feel something is not correct. It might be possible to please everyone at least bloggers can do their bit
Swati Murti says
yes and sometimes the blogger doesn’t even know that something can be a problem which the readers can bring to their notice!

so sweet of you to post this… im tired of seeing readers being blasted just because they gave some honest opinion about something or their comments being deleted… some bloggers are so rude… when the comments are not rude and constructive criticism why cant u just listen to ur readers? … rant over… grrr.. 🙂
Swati Murti says
yes actually it works both ways…some of thr readers are equally rude but yeah both have to work constructively to make this world a better place 🙂
Niesha says
I agree. If the reader is a well wisher and gives a constructive feedback then it should not be read, listen but should be worked upon. Very kind person once told me about some technical fault in the blog as i was a newbie then. I was glad that he told me. 🙂
But I am still reluctant to tell the same to anyone as some may take it negatively. doesn’t matters how politely i say.:)
Swati Murti says
yeah you are Niesha but it ultimately depends on how the thing is conveyed and in what frame of mind is the person reading…some are outright sarcastic which does irk people and sometimes the people are in bad frame of mind and reading something remotely negative can be taken in a wholly different picture!!
Megha Saraf says
Nice post Swati. Very well written. I too agree reader must inform the issue to the blogger politely.
Swati Murti says
yes, very true Megha. humility and courtesy should be extended both ways!
Rosh S says
Definitely agree! I have come across some blogs I like, but they take such a long time in loading that I have given up on them! I would have loved to leave feedback, but didnt want to offend.
But I would definitely like it if someone gave constructive feedback on my blog 🙂
Swati Murti says
hey Rosh…you are so right…people should know and tell but it is a problem. someone had told me about some scrolling problem in the blog but i couldn’t do anything about it 🙁 sometimes even if we know the prob, we are not able to rectify the prob!!
