First I apologize if this thread violates with the rules, but regardless of it, I want to start this question, nonetheless.

This January happens to be my Fifth anniversary of my blog. And my upcoming entry will be my 50th. I don't waint to sound conceited nor narcissistic about this, but it's been five rewarding years. I can't believe how time has flied, but working on this blog has given me so much pleasure and joy. It's also been stressful and hard at times, but the good things has still kept me going (despite how hackneyed it sounds). I've also expanded my horizons and started various entries about subjects that I wasn't planning to start in the first place. But I'm glad I've done it.
However, regarding the response I've received, I've been fortunate enough to have readers every day, though the variety of readers have varied throughout the years. But regardless of having received some praise, I'm still curious about what I've truly done right or wrong with my blog and what my pro and cons are about it. I've tried to approach some blog experts, but they've always been busy or urged me to start surveys to my readers.
So I've decided to rather start this survey here, considering that this board was among the first sites where I promoted my blog (though I've later on created a twitter and Facebook account to promote my upcoming entries). Considering that this is a Disney Board after all and my blog is primarily made for Disnerds, as we've callen, it's perfectly appropriate to ask you guys about my blog. And I appriecate honest criticism and feedback as long as it's constructive. And I'll give you the link to what was my first entry, btw: https://mydisneyanalysis.blogspot.com/2 ... -film.html.

Again, sorry if it comes across as conceited or irrelevant, but I'm really curious to know.

Well, I read your first entry, and I thought it was very good. I didn't like the red-colored font you used for the heading of your blog. I think you should use a nicer font and use a deep blue color. Deep blue is associated with Disney. If you could download the Disney font, that might be nice. I didn't like that you said "you know it, and I know it" about the film being uneven and deeply flawed because of it. I actually do not mind the gargoyles. I think they are a flaw, but I think they just needed to be in Quasi's imagination. I don't know, the way you said "you know it and I know it" sounded like your way was the right way even though it's just supposed to be your opinion. You do need to work on your grammar but perhaps you just need an English friend to check that for you and be your editor. That person can't be me, I have too little time for the things I am invested in as it is. I'm just wondering if you could find someone who does have the time. But your assesment of Hunchback was very, very good, and I think you must have a very good blog on your hands.

Well, thank you.

Regarding my grammar, the thing is that I'm not an Native Engish writer, so I know that my grammar is clunky. And I'm sorry if my "I know it and you know it" comment sounded condescending, since it was not my intention. Otherwise, thanks for your comment and feedback.

I knew English wasn't your native language from you saying so in your blog. I was saying maybe someone who knows English well could be your editor. But your welcome for me taking a look and giving feedback.

I'm liking what I'm reading in your Hunchback article very much!! I'm going to read it more when I have more time, and I'll try to take a peak at your other artivles-- I like that you include the film's history in the post, and I love the pictures of the marketing and products!! I don't like that the red text is in all capitals...

Thanks for all your feeback, BlackCauldron85. The reason why the introductury segment is capitalized is to make it readable to the visitors, since it contains important information. But I'm sorry that you don't like it.

I finished the THOND article and read the cheapquel one. I like the snarky captions under the photos! Both articles are enjoyable reading; I bookmarked your site so I can read more later! My only complaint besides the capital letters I mentioned might be that that introduction is on every single entry, vs maybe just in one section? It's not a huge deal, and most people will just scroll past it when reading multiple articles.

Thanks for your praise and constructive comments, Blackcauldron85. The reason why I'm having that introduction in every single entry, is due to how people knowing about that information through every entry of mine, instead of just looking for it on my very first one.
