Commenting On Posts

Try it, you’ll like it

Since I’ve never done it myself, I’m not sure the procedure. I assume it’s fairly easy, but I think commenting on a post requires clicking on the COMMENT thingy above each one.

Go on, it’s okay. I like hearing what people think. If you ever left a comment and were sad because I didn’t reply, please don’t be. I haven’t replied to any of the comments left on the site. What do you think, would it be better if I did? I think follow ups may make this seem like a more legitimate enterprise. Would you be more interested in commenting if there were FABULOUS PRIZES involved?

Leaving comments is cool, and lets me see who’s reading the site. It also gives me valuable counter information to my normal ranting, which I enjoy. I’ve decided to embrace critiscism whenever possible, because if you can’t take it you shouldn’t dish it out. So correct grammar, point out flaws in arguments, and generally get all up/grill etc.

CONCEPT: 4/5 – Leaving a comment is a cool way to let people know you’re cool!

INNOVATION: 4/5 – There’s still time, you can be one of the first.

SATISFACTION: 4/5 – The only thing more satisfying is passing a law you penned. When was the last time you did that?

EXECUTION: YOU/5 – This, gentle reader, I leave to your discretion.

FUN FACTOR: 3/5 – Reading’s more fun than contributing.

OVERALL: 7/10 – Aw, you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

Life in Review

Daily reviews of daily things. Articles, books, websites, smells, video games, food, sensations, concepts, conversations, drinks, activities, music, people, bits of earth, etc.

The idea is intriguing, and adds a feeling of usefulness to what would otherwise be a fairly straightforward journal. A formula will also be followed, including but not limited to:

Title – What the review is of.

What – More in depth blurb or explanation.

Body – Description and observations about the subject.

Pros/Cons – An optional component where the pros and cons of the subject are weighed.

Ratings – Rank the subject against other subjects. Subjects will be rated out of 5 in CONCEPT, INNOVATION, SATISFACTION, EXECUTION, and FUN FACTOR. There may also by an additional rating based on other observations of the subject as well as an OVERALL score which is out of 10, and is not an average of previous ratings.

There will also be swears.

CONCEPT: 3/5 – Interesting. Will be fun to watch play out.

INNOVATION: 2/5 – Blogs and Reviews are both nothing new, but at least an ounce of creativity is required which warrants a 2.

SATISFACTION: Remains-to-be-seen/5 – This will be updated in the future with an accurate score.

EXECUTION: 3/5 – The fact that I got off my ass and made a blog is pretty good. I’ll give myself a congratulatory ‘3′.

FUN FACTOR: 4/5 – If this ever gets below a ‘2′ I may have to discontinue writing.

OVERALL: 8/10 – Commitment and creative output are in conflict! Let’s watch!
