It's very interesting to see how you're analyzing blogs, John. As I've said before, I appreciate the objective view. I'm sorry to see Joanna go, though! Oh god, we’re next.

I remind you though, that Joanna outlasted 28 other blogs. It was a great showing. Every team but one eventually goes home with a loss. John Hi Robert,

I understand how you feel. I remind you though, that Joanna outlasted 28 other blogs. It was a great showing. Every team but one eventually goes home with a loss.

I think your reasoning is sound on the way you scored the two, but Joanna is my friend and I'm sorry to see her out for the count. It's true that her blog is much more personal and fun, and does indeed veer away every now and then - but that's why we like it! By the way, I appreciate the kind things you said about my guest post. Sorry it didn't help, Joanna! Cheers! Well I for one am disappointed that Joanna lost out this round.

I understand your point of view. Rest assured, I am certain I would have been eliminated by this round myself if I had chosen to compete. Joanna,

The critiques have been valuable but nerve-wracking too. You have given me a lot of food for thought though. I certainly wouldn't include my blog in a top list of 'writers' sites as I don't blog for writers as such - but anyone who wants or needs to write with greater confidence. That makes my focus very different to those of other blogs. I also (as you acknowledge) have a personal dimension to my blog which means I veer off from time to time. And for me that's why I enjoy it, and how I make powerful connections with other people - and that's how I'm going to keep going, competitions, kudos or no :-) Thanks for all the learning points and for running this competition Joanna Do you know I am actually quite relieved to have got knocked out of this round?!
