It’s wonderful to see so many people joining in #MBPW and I really do hope you are trying to comment on at least two other posts to encourage commenting.
What makes a good comment in your eyes? And how would you take any negative feedback? Interesting thought and I believe constructive criticism is probably one of the hardest skills to master. Personally I find it very difficult to leave any negative feedback on posts I come across especially if I don’t know that person but is that the correct way to go about things? Letting that person continue with their mistakes? Shrugging my shoulders and slipping off quietly – or would it be better to say something?
Michelle focused her reviews of May on negative reviews, if you read through mine you won’t find any completely negative so far, this is because the products I choose to represent I like and when I have found something I didn’t like I do try to compensate with something good too.
It’s a tricky one and worth thinking about as we do have a responsibility to our readers to disclose and be honest. Do you agree?
Please find the Linky below to add your #MBPW to. It’s also an excellent opportunity to run your eyes over back posts and spot glaring mistakes you may have missed. Be auto critical – could you have written that one better? Did you miss a vital point out? Have a look at the round ups and check if you can leave a post on them too – every little helps!
Reviews, Travel were a couple of this week’s but here’s a link to all on the Brit Mums Blog find one that you can enter too.

Oh and as far as reviews go I ignore reviews from people who only have happy glowing reviews of products they haven't paid for (even if they aren't being paid for it IYSWIM)

I like debate, conversation and other peoples opinions (even if I don't always agree with them).As long as feedback isn't abusive in any way then I say bring it on.

On critical comments I have had comments expressing a different opinion to my own and I am fine with that, especially as they are usually from long-time readers. I used to comment on every post I read, and I suppose I hoped for return visits, but that often doesn't happen, so it varies. I was quite keen on the 'like' button and I have one now, but am not so keen about the resulting post on my FB timeline! Anyone come across a 'like' function that does just that?

I read lots of posts whe people are complaining about their children's schools. It's very hard to write a comment that's helpful and not to just say that schools aren't baby sitting services. I always go away and think about it carefully so Incan word it in a way that's helpful.
