I've added a new entry to my blog, "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.: *Lightning*
         "Invalid Entry" Open in new Window.
I am creating a blog and I have made a banner for it but I can't choose between the two fonts. Which one do you think is better?

I like the first one. It's easier to read.

Thank you so much, "RAOK Upgrade Brigade Group" Open in new Window., for the upgrade! *Delight* I am so excited and I'm going to go crazy creating new items. The interactive and book items are tempting me! Should I start a blog? Maybe I could write a novel! I wonder if anyone would join my interactive?

Oh, and I must get myself a signature! :-[
I see you decided to get a blog. I think it's a good choice, then there are blogging groups, too. Here are some of them.

*Confettigr**Confettib*Welcome to the "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group" Open in new Window.! *Smile* *Confettigr**Confettib*
Can anyone give me some reviewing tips?
I like to start with being honest about why I'm reviewing a piece. (I found this funny ... I'm doing it as a random review ... etc)

Then I comment on the "idea" behind the writing ... the storyline, the poem topic, etc.

If it's a story I like to state what I can see as a theme, who the main character is, whether it flows well, what the point of view is. If there's any problem with any of those, I'll comment on it and suggest changes.

Then I look at word choices ... like too many adverbs or too much dialogue or how they use "sense" words (the five senses, touch taste feel hearing seeing).

Sometimes I'll comment on grammar or spelling or punctuation but not often.

Always keep your comments non-personal. In other words don't tell someone they need to learn how to spell or that they shouldn't be writing fiction or something.

Always assume that if they have requested a review that they are here to LEARN. Most people learn by either seeing or being shown examples of what you are talking about. Don't treat them like children but explain things like you'd want someone to explain things to you.

Always give them credit for having spent time to write a piece and the work they put into it.

Always ask questions if something is confusing rather than assuming the person writing got something wrong and you are right. This can help either you to learn new vocabulary or sentence structuring or them to question if they are getting their point across.

And, if you really don't like a piece, just move on the next piece.

I try to review a few random things each week but I mainly choose to review things that are written in a genre I am trying to learn myself. The reviews help me probably more than they help the person I'm reviewing sometimes.

Hope that helps!
Wow, so many responses! :D thank you all so much. This is definitely helpful, and you've given me a lot to think about.
Wow, I can't believe I won third place in
