Ok.. I have a pet peeve and it’s really getting under my skin.
Why is it when someone wants feedback or reviews on their site, they don’t bother to leave their own feedback first? I mean… I could go around all day long asking people to review my site and give me feedback, but what kind of person am I if I don’t bother to give my own?
Oh shame on me… I was quite cranky this morning… my apologies…

Thanks for stopping by forex… I’ve also visited your site and left a comment as well as a review on your blogcatalog. :)
I am jealous. You’ve got a good PR there. Nice blog by the way Jojo

I agree with you, Judi. That bugs me too! I’ve never had to ask for feedback and I think it’s because I DO comment and review and recommend and give feedback at other places, unsolicited. I prefer genuine responses, rather than requested one!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, too. It’s great to ‘meet’ you!
I’ve never asked for feedback, except from my members. That kind of feedback only improves my site. Otherwise, if you give me feedback it’s greatly appreciated, but not required………….:)
Well…it’s a norm. That’s how we can improve our site, through their feedbacks. Anyway…I had linked you up :)

Nothing wrong with wanting feed-back. I also like feed back, but I’m afraid my collection of photos and notes on asian crime investigation wold not be your thing.
I can’t help you much, feed-back wise, as I don’t use Word Press – whatever that is. Still in all, you site appears to hold together nicely.

I quite agree!
Enjoy your weekend!
Stine’s last blog post..Blog Update – January
I reckon you have a bang-on peeve there, if you’re referring to the kinds of request I think you are. It infuriates me when people ask me to write a recommendation for their site (i.e. Entrecard) when I’d have written one already if I’d felt so inclined. Also, leaving a message on the chat widget asking you to link to their site from yours… excuse me?!
Coincidentally, I left a comment on a blog yesterday, responding to a blog author and cohorts whingeing about people speeding thru dropping Entrecards and not reading their posts.
My experience is that people do whizz thru 6 out of 7 days, and they are welcome to, because on the 7th day, they’ll linger and leave a comment. There are blog authors who seem to have the attitude that visitors are under some kind of obligation to read what they have to say, instead of the onus being theirs, in that they need to ensure the content is interesting enough to capture people’s attention;-D
