Description:

For this swap you will have one partner about whose blog you will write a well thought-out critique, which you will send to them by email.

This swap is not for those of us with thin skin. The intent is to write and receive a thoughtful critique, which can and should contain criticism. Possibly even harsh criticism. If you only want sugar-coated compliments about your blog, this swap is not for you. But feel free to create a similar but kinder and gentler blog review swap of your own!

Some rules:

  1. If you feel that receiving harsh feedback will impair your ability to rate fairly, (this means hearts) please refrain from joining this swap.

  2. When you join, leave a link to the blog you want reviewed in the comments section. If you forget, I may remove you from the swap before assigning partners.

  3. Your review of your partner’s blog should be at least 500 words, emailed to them. Some topics to cover might be:

a. Content

b. Favorite posts

c. Layout

d. Colors

e. Readability

f. Spelling/Grammar

g. What you would like to see more of

h. What you would like to see less of

i. Ways to improve it

j. What would make you more likely to come back?

k. What could they do to better draw in readers and followers?

  1. Do not focus only on the positive aspects or only on the negative aspects. Describe both the good and the bad as you see it.

  2. I know I am not allowed to tell you when to rate a heart or not, but I implore you to rate fairly. Please rate based on the effort put in and the thoughtfulness and usefulness of the review rather than how it made you feel. Please do not punish honest reviews!

  3. This is an electronic swap, so I will be fairly lenient with ratings. I will exclude people with low ratings from the last three months unless you message me and explain them. You need to take the initiative on that.

I just took a glance at all the participants' blogs and most of them are quite nice. I am concerned about the 500 word thing. I'm not sure I could come up with 500 words to critique some of these blogs because the people with the ugly blogs didn't sign up here. Just wanted to voice my concern.
