Encouraging and Discouraging Remarks

It took me a long time to improve my blog and to be honest, I spent much time learning things on it. It has been a trial and error phase. I have been in different facebook groups for bloggers in order to learn more. As being a newbie in blogging, I love to ask opinions about it. Then, one of them said my blog doesn't have good photos, fonts, and in general, it is not appealing. I was a bit hurt because after all the hours I spent to make my blog look good, it still is not appealing. I don't know what to say but just give the one who comments a thanks for it. On the other hand, I also received some comments on how can I improve my blog more. I really appreciated those kinds of comments.

Positive or constructive criticism is fine, but if someone is trying to criticize for the sake of it, its more discouraging.

@avi256 if we know that someone is criticizing purposely,then best solution is to ignore it and keep going

indeed, it is good to receive good criticisms as long as they are constructive. i think that one who gave you discouraging comment was harsh but she meant nothing but you improve more

I tried blogging years ago, but I got bored. Not to mention I couldn't monetize it for some reason. But with mylot I can write anytime and much more environment friendly here.

Since you got encouraging comments about it, leave that discouraging one go. Do you know anyone who knows how to put together a nice appealing site? It never hurts to ask for help on getting a nice site.

My first design was a mess. I made already some improvements on that and I am still working on how can I enhance my website.

I looked at her website and there were lots on it. I think she has been running her blog for more than a year.

Sometimes we just have to ignore all the comments.

Good said. You can have a good blog and also improve it weekly or from time to time. I think keeping your blog minimum graphics will help a lot. I do recommend it. Try to write short. I do it.

Thanks @mysimplelot! Some readers love to see photos and my intention for putting photos is to make my contents readable. Well, I love posting long articles. I think it makes my purpose in my articles clearer. Do you also have a blog?
