I think Rachel makes some valid points.
I've come across posts that I know must have taken a good while to write. They can be about the most amazing adventures but I often struggle to read them for one reason. So I need to say that I write this as hopefully constructive criticism.
If a post is written as one continuous body of text or if broken down into paragraphs but lacking a clear line between each paragraph then I struggle to read it.
Look it's me, I admit it, I find following a long post difficult and as a result even though it could be wonderful in every other way, if it's not broken down into bite sized chunks I can easily follow, I get brain fade and move on. So for my sake, paragraph, line space, new paragraph please.
I would also ask that folks don't photo shop their pics. Why? It's because it gives a false impression of your reality.
If I post pictures of myself dressed to go out and about, I don't want to create a false impression to those teetering on stepping out the door that you need to be picture perfect in order to do so.
I don't pass close inspection so I feel I need to give a true account of that and in doing so demonstrate that you don't need to be floorless to mingle with the muggles.
As for the original post, I find myself only replying if I've something new to add beyond what's already been written.
