This is very simple. I want to see how much you've improved as a writer since your first post. In short I'd like to read your first post, your best post and your latest post. I will give you only constructive positive feedback. I promise to reply asap but please be aware that I am quite busy and am away now and again.

Don't worry if you've only started out - I want to see your work too

    wow...i think that's a great and creative idea...

    LIFE AS I KNOW IT: it's a blog about me and what effects me. there are posts about poverty, health, peace, self improvement. there are some personal posts also.

    my first post (back then i had very little knowledge about blogging): lifeasiknowit22.blogspot.com/2008/08/life-as-i-know-it.html

    best post (my fav one): lifeasiknowit22.blogspot.com/2008/10/lets-open-our-eyes.html .it's about poverty.

    latest post : lifeasiknowit22.blogspot.com/2008/12/reminder-why-i-shouldnt-smoke.html (about me and smoking)

      omg! You have come a long long way! you have a really awesome blog. I'd hate to see my lungs like the pic in your latest post. It's amazing to see such improvements between august to october. Things like the highlighting in yellow and the briefness of your first post in contrast to the depths with which you write now. Keep up the blogging!

    Ok..here is mine..
    don't go by the dates written there, I change them to have the order of the posts I want...And I started a few months back...
    Also when I started, I wanted to use fancy language and words but now I am becoming more original and actually writing what I want....

    1)my first one- achyutktelang.blogspot.com/2007/10/twenty-20-where-is-its-place-in-cricket_...

    2) My best according to me- achyutktelang.blogspot.com/2008/10/portraits-my-work-of-art.html

    3) Latest one- achyutktelang.blogspot.com/2008/04/my-body-health-enigma.html

    Thanks in advance!

      Really well designed website Achyut! I can really see the improvement in your writing. I am engaged with your current writing whereas your first post was far more static. Keep it up

      PS. I was a black belt at Tae kwon do when I was younger.

    This is my latest post... I just borrowed the idea. You may also read my previous articles. Here are my blogs...

    newgenmarketeers.blogspot.com/ - for those who are in a network marketing like me...

    pinoyinvestorsmoneyjournal.blogspot.com/ - for those who are stock traders like me also hehehe... hope you like it!

    Cheers!
    1. Kwaichi
      You have nicely designed websites there.
  4. Achyut
    Hey Thanks for the review!
    1. Kwaichi
      I think I found your first post which was super short! Your latest post is written in far more depth. Thanks for popping by
    1. Kwaichi
      I'm glad I am no longer Alone or Lonely. That was a great article. I like your latest one and know a lot of emotional hijackers - although not as extreme as killers! Do you have any evidence to support introvert kids socialising well with each other better than an introvert with an extrovert? My ex girlfriend was a pro wrestler so I can't rate that as your best article lol I have to say that your first article was your best in my opinion. You are a very talented and analytical writer who deserves a PHD let alone more traffic. I'll be keeping tabs of your excellent work.
    2. saiffarooqi
      hey, thanks a lot for your really nice review. it makes me feel better about myself . as far as evidence goes, not specifically about introverts but there are studies that show that similarity leads to better relationships, which includes similarity in personality, attitude, interests, etc. its like the old saying "birds of the same feather flock together". i can tell about myself that i'm an introvert and most of my friends are also introverts.

    My first post:
    www.wikyblog.com/CynthiaWunsch/Wednesday,_August_1,_2007
    My best post . . . hard to pick but I like this one:
    www.wikyblog.com/CynthiaWunsch/Wednesday,_October_15,_2008
    My latest post:
    www.wikyblog.com/CynthiaWunsch/Wednesday,_December_10,_2008

    I made only two posts during 2007 and first six months of 2008 because I couldn't figure out what to blog about. After talking with friends in July 2008 and when they told me I had a ton of information that people would love to read, they finally convinced me and since then it's been super easy.
    1. Kwaichi
      Your work is really easy to read and very engaging. I can see the vast improvements in your writing through regular posting. I am really interested in your article about music and education. You caould have a really good debate with saiffarooqi (just above you in this discussion) if he takes the view that children with well off parents are more likely to take up an instrument.

      Either way I love the work and I thought the water images were really cool. Is that a hoax?
    2. geekchick
      The water photos are absolutely not a hoax, if you go to Dr. Emoto Masaru's website that I linked to you'll see many more just like those, and all those were taken directly from the video which I linked to as well.

      Children with well-off parents may be more likely to play an instrument, but if you read my post on El Sistema (that was back in July but there's a link from the Blog Action Day post) you'll see that wealth has little to do with the benefits.

      Betty Bailey has done some excellent work with marginalized populations and music, and the posts on social capital linking to the videos show that even in the most impoverished and marginalized populations, classical music can be a powerful factor in transforming people's lives. I'll be featuring Ms. Bailey's research soon but I have other posts in the pipeline.

      Thank you for the kind review!

      I really like your work. It's really touching and makes me wonder whether I've experienced symptoms of depression recently. I agree that your best pick is your best work. Although a series it follows on easily from stage to stage. Keep up the great work
    1. Kwaichi
      I have experienced the same anxiety's as your first blog post. I have just written from a personal perspective to keep my work unique but it is hard sometimes to discipline myself to write. As even more of my work online is video stuff I have to dig in to edit footage which takes ages. I really liked your latest manny post despite what others say. I love sport and found it quite touching and direct. Your chosen best post was very poetic in tone and fluid like water.

      You have a fantastic and versatile range of writing skills and I hope you keep it up despite your early reservations
  6. JoelKlebanoff
    Sure, why not:

    My first post:
    joelklebanoff.com/joelsblog2/?p=762
    (Please forgive it. It was, after all, my first post and a rather stupid way of introducing my blog. I regret it now.)

    My best post? It's all so subjective isn't it? The one that I enjoyed the most (and I have low self esteem, so I usually don't like anything I write), although it wasn't the favorite of my readers, is this one:
    joelklebanoff.com/joelsblog2/?p=961

    And my latest one is this:
    joelklebanoff.com/joelsblog2/?p=1420
  7. Kwaichi
    omg lol! I could not help but burst out in laughter at your first post. It was hilarious! Short, sweet and in your face - absolutely love it. Your other posts are too funny. You have a new fan and subscriber sir! I could do with some comic inspiration
    1. JoelKlebanoff
      THANKS! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you'll continue to find it funny. By the way, don't forget to tell your friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers and other hangers-on about it. Again, thanks!

    Hi... great idea... when I first started blogging, I used it as a PR device for my art gallery and the theatre company which I started back in 1994. Then I started including more personal stuff in it with this post, which was the 3rd I think
    anntracy.blogspot.com/2007/10/theres-no-business-like_18.html

    I've been told that many people like my travel stories on the blog... so here's one I could submit for the best
    anntracy.blogspot.com/2008/07/hwy-50-to-colorado-springs-part-1.html

    and the most recent is
    anntracy.blogspot.com/

    thanks and happy holidaze
    1. Kwaichi
      Happy holidaze! As an actor I totally agree that there is no business like showbusiness. I can definitely relate to your first and latest post although I'm yet to get a full script to stage. Loved the travel blog but for me the acting blogs capture my attention more. Great work!
  9. sisterofmercy
    Wow, quite a request!
    Hmm ok then, here's my very first post:

    a-wonderful-oddity.blogspot.com/2008/09/first-ever-blog-bear-with-me.html

    My best post would have to be the one I did about The Smiths:
    a-wonderful-oddity.blogspot.com/2008/11/kerchingthe-sound-of-smiths.html

    My latest is a post about the injustice of venues in restricting access to the under 18's:
    a-wonderful-oddity.blogspot.com/2008/12/teenage-angst.html

    I'd like to think I've progressed a bit but I don't really think very much when writing them, so the style is a bit all over the place.

    Any feedback would be brilliant, cheers!
    1. Kwaichi
      I really like your first post as it's personal and really engaging. You are a really talented writer and without knowing - I would never have guessed that you are only 16. You remind me of Dawson out of Dawson's Creek as you are analytical and obsessive about your music as he was with his movies. That's far from a criticism though - quite the opposite. Keep up the exceptional work!
  10. giojahn
    Can you please check out mine? mine first one doesn't have much comments and I really want to hear how I am doing so far.
    Thanks in advance.

    www.greatestgoal.blogspot.com
    1. Kwaichi
      I don't think that having loads of comments mean that you have a good or bad blog. I like what you are doing and posts like 'AAAA' are reflecting how many people would like to be treated when they have a complaint. Being on a site like this will really help build up your traffic and will result in more comments too

    Hmm ... well, my latest post happens to contain my first ever post

      Great blog! I've tried using blender. I made a 3d text logo and I animated a man with a hat. Maybe you could make up a new title page for my vids if you have time? Keep up the great work and the blender too

      I have read all your blogs and certainly know where to go to if I know someone who is going through the middle of their life. There are certainly other aspects of advice which would help anyone too. Fantastic websites

    Great but don't review me at the moment, I've just started and need to refine my articles which are too short.

    I have an entry on my blog dating back to 1993. It is the sole surviving remnant of stuff I posted to a BBS back pre-Internet. When I first started my blog, I didn't write as much and used other stuff I wrote (newspaper stories I wrote, reviews, etc.) to add content. However, here's the first piece I wrote specifically to be in my blog in 2006.

    radioflyer1980.wordpress.com/2006/09/16/sunday-school/

    And here's my latest blog entry from this morning:

    radioflyer1980.wordpress.com/2009/04/11/if-this-blog-were-a-tweet-youd-be-d...

    From my perspective, my writing has probably devolved in two and a half years. I write something every day now for my blog while that first post took me probably half a dozen drafts over the span of a month to write.
