When Mel at MomComm started offering blog critiques, I kind of wanted to sign up for one. But I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to be critiqued, and then her queue filled up and stayed full forever. She offered a lot of great advice in her critiques, though, and it made me wish I hadn’t been so averse to criticism.

So when she asked for another wave of blogs to critique, I signed up. This time she’s looking at specific pages; today, she’s focused on my About page.

As always, Mel has a lot of great advice, and it’s stuff that’s applicable to any blog. She suggested, for example, that I change my permalink structure — that’s the stuff after butterscotchsundae.com/ in the location bar up there — to make things more SEO-friendly. Another web-savvy friend suggested I do that some time ago, but I’m wary. I’m afraid it’ll break my web site.

I’m not afraid of any of the other suggestions, though. They’re just going to take a little time and effort to rearrange and rewrite some things.

Thanks for the advice, Mel!
