The Feedback and Comment platforms are Crucial to your learning

Along with the classroom section(where you can post your questions) here at WA, the feedback and comment platforms are crucial to your learning. You get to interact with other students (yes, we are all students here), learn to receive and give feedback and comments. It’s also where you develop an in depth analytical view, that will change the way you view not only your own website, also how you will begin to look at other sites across the Web. An important skill to have as you become both a website developer and designer, all the while working shoulder to shoulder with other great Members, here at WA

Who participates?

The input is amazingly multi tier, as the people who participate range from Beginner, intermediate to pro levels. At first it may seem a little intimidating, no worries, you’ll soon be made to feel right at home.

Are you hesitant to give feedback?

Often times as Newbies, we may feel intimidated to give feedback because we’re not experienced. However, as a Newbie, you’re in the perfect place to offer up intuitive insight.

How the site made you feel as a visitor? Did you easily find your way around?

How was the content, hard to read, not engaging? Give feedback on the UX (user experience.

Don’t sell yourself short, UX feedback is very important,it represents how most people experience websites, as most are not Web Developers and Designers.

who am I writing this for?

This tutorial was written mostly for the beginner, to give you a feel of how to use both platforms, in the way they were intended, and you will get the most out of them, if used seriously.

.Ok, let's dive in

Thanks Jozeph, really enjoyed the tut, will bookmark for further reference, thought the breakdown on the types of feedback were really good, the only thing is the part about the grammar you thought was a ugly comment, nothing annoys me more than seeing bad grammar and wrong spelling, and it's not that the person giving the comment was so bad, the author should have proof read it first to get it right in the first place. i have to admit when you are a newby the more encouragement you get the better, thanks for sharing cheers Helen

ah my friend, and I agree. However your take on someone's grammar belongs in "feedback", not in comments on the website itself. Does that make sense ? :)
let me now

About tolerance
When you read someone's content, maybe that person speaks 5 different languages, so when you land on a site where the person has grammatical errors, ask yourself, is this content good, is it accurate?

If it is, chances are you're dealing with a resource person, explaining things in his/her second, third or fourth language.
Lucky for us english educated people, the international language right now, is not Mandarin :)

Hi Jozeph yes that makes perfect sense, but there are some out there that do speak engish really well, ie first language, but you probably wouldn't know it from their writings, thanks for getting back to me, cheers Helen

Generally, we shouldn't comment much on the design and format as these are individual's liking. Google loves rich and unique contents with photo images and linkings for top rankings of our websites and this is somethings we need to remind each others should we fall short of them.

Joseph. Thanks for such an inclusive training on a sore subject that often appears on our WA blog central. This will definitely be a useful tool going forward to refer people to when there's any confusion. Geoff.

Hi Jozeph!
Actually , I'm on Lesson 9, but I have two questions:

First about those four boxes to check off, so the privacy policy does't get ranked. How do I Save them, they're in the SEO section?

Second: when I want to pre-publish, without Google seeing, which Publish button do I use?

Thanks so much for your time!

They're saved when you publish the page, and also, when you have something in draft mode, it is also 'not seen.' If you want to Publish without Google seeing you use the same four boxes.
