I’m talking in general. If I put something out there for critique, I expect critiques. Comments are good. Without comments, good and bad, we would get stuck in a vacuum, just like Zannah mentioned. </p> <p> But I don’t think you have to say that everything I do sucks. LOL </p> <p> Actually thinking about it, I think it depends on the site too. Blogs actually aren’t even blogs out there. There are few “blogs” that are actually “weblogs”. I’d almost say 95% of them out there are Journals. Definitely not blogs. But that’s a whole other story and I’ll stop now. hehe. :) </p> Well, with the commenting thing, I’m not talking about just blogs. I’m talking in general.

That happens on almost any site really. It’s the way IE handles cache and history. Unfortunately, there’s no real fix for that if you just hit the back button or use the history.back function. If you’re getting the same issue with any other browser, it could be the case. I’m using firefox and it works fine. </p> Actually, with the submission thing, that’s only something I’ve seen with IE.

I’ve had that experience one too many times. </p> <p> But since you opened the door, I’ll start telling you your stuff sucks.  :) </p> As far as comments go, I’m always hesitant to leave non-positive comments unless there are other people doing the same thing.  A lot of personal blogs are just “agree with me and tell me I’m great” forums, and if you post anything remotely non-positive, no matter how tactfully and diplomatically you word it, you will be ganged up on by friends of the site’s owner and called every nasty name in the book, and a few that aren’t in the book too.

If there’s an error submitting a comment (such as forgetting to complete the email field) when you go back, your comment is gone and you have to start over. 

I suspect this is an EE issue, not yours.  But I thought I’d toss it out there.

There are some sites where I visit frequently, but rarely comment, only because I’m not sure how that person will take things. That makes me sound rather hypocrytical, but hey, I like to call it tact. ;) </p> <p> I myself don’t mind comments at all. I think sometimes, just the idea that they took the time to make a comment boosts my ego a little. :) </p> I understand exactly what you mean zannah.

No one likes werking in a vacuum.  (It gets uncomfortable in there!) </p> I, personally, am hesitant to leave anything even constructively critical, because 1) I’m not sure how the person will take it (maybe they have a super fragile ego or something?) and 2) I don’t consider myself the greatest, so I’m generally not completely comfortable critiquing someone unless they specifically ask.  On the other hand, I do understand what you’re saying – I like it when people give specific feedback (ie: colours are a little washed out, or hey, the shadows are great, etc…) No one likes werking in a vacuum.  (It gets uncomfortable in there!)
