This is one forum I don’t post in (or at least incredibly rarely).
As for why…
– I have never offered my site up for critique, so for me to hand out what I have not asked for seems wrong for me
– I believe that a blog should be designed for the person who owns it, not the people who read it. While a viewer could offer some possibly useful comments, if that conflicts with how the owner wants it, then they are compromising their design.
– I honestly look at content, not design. I will look at any blog once, but I will only return to a blog if what is being written is interesting to me. The best layout is the world doesn’t alter poor content (content again being a subjective item).
Overall, I don’t think I have anything positive to contribute apart from the occasional blandishment, so I stay away from commenting here. I do check links, but commenting ? I’ll leave that to those that do actually know what ‘aesthetics’ mean – I have no clue ??
