I really don't like critiqing others, not one bit.
BUT, sometimes you have to.
And those times that you really don't want to do something are great times to practice owning.
Tapanga Malanga presents, How to Own Critiqing.
Critiqing others affects others. (Easy to understand, right?)
So it is important to take this lesson seriously.
Watch the video below to get in a more serious mood.
Oh, sorry that clip is down right horrifying... oops. No time to fool around though.
Get to work while following these tips:
Un) Be as clear as possible.
Duex) Think things out before realying your opinion.
Trois) Be ready to explain what you mean in case the person you are critiqing doesn't understand.
Quatre) And last but not least, share the positives as well.
Here's my critique of my own blog:
As for use of media, I think I do a pretty good job. I use a lot of pictures and videos on my blog... I figure it will look more appealing. I also link a lot of things just incase people want to know more.
With scanability I give myself a big fat F. I write too much and I ramble... a lot.
I like my site but it is pretty busy not to mention the fact that it looks very "ametureish". I'm woring on it!
Something I want to work on right away is making it more accessible! It be a shame if someone came across this site and couldn't fully enjoy it...
Well, I'm all done! Are you?
Good!
Now you can stop being so serious! This clip will definitely put you in a goofier mood.
Enjoy!
And remember, keep owning my friends!

this is horrible.... JK!!
I like it!
very very funny! lol
I honestly don't see anything wrong with your blog, it looks professional to me and I love the pink, very girly! Good job. :)
I agree that you do a great job posting media on your blog. The videos that you post here definitely add a great dimension to the overall blog. I have just started to begin posting videos myself, but I really like what they can add to a blog.
However, I also agree with your assessment that the site could be a little more scan-able. Perhaps try to keep things short and concise to make things a little easier on your readers. I actually don't think your site is amature-ish though. You have used a unique style on this blog and I definitely appreciate the creativity so please don't change a thing as far as that goes.
The color scheme works great for the tone of the blog and the title, tagline, and banner at the top all are very enticing. I think this blog definitely grabs your attention right off the bat. Overall great blog, and I look forward to reading it more in the future.
