The Results On "How To Improve My Little World" Blog Survey

Yup, a few days ago I posted a survey regarding on how to improve my blog. The response was not bad. There are so many friends and strangers gave me very useful critics and comments. Therefore, today, in this post, I will share with the results will everybody! Before that, A BIG THANKS for really giving me a very good response!{I can't elaborate too long, still have not finished packing my stuffs(^^)}


Results
Majority of the responses were given in my cbox. Reasons:{Personal Analysis}
  • It is easy to use
  • Do not need to log in
  • It is easy to load
  • It is time-saving

Part 1
The respondents chose to respond a few criteria from the list.
  1. Content - fine
  2. Creativity - No comment
  3. Originality -No comment
  4. Quality & Quantity-No comment
  5. Personality - remained unchanged {This is my blog after all}
  6. Language skills - No comment
  7. Presentation Skills -No comment
  8. Consistency -No comment
As you can see from the results, people really emphasized on the content part. However, due to lack of respondents for Part 1, the results might encounter discrepancies. After viewing all the response, most of the respondents took part in Part 2 . Therefore, for Part 1, if you still have any ideas/comments/critics, you can drop a comment anytime.




Part 2
Design Issue:
  1. Do you like my blog design?
  2. Is my layout too messy?
  3. Is my colour scheme all wrong?
  4. Is my widgets not appealing?
For this part, I summarized all the ideas into point forms:
  • simple and nice blog design
  • Add border to make the blog neater
  • blog design is not cluttered/messy
  • soothing to the eyes, but, not all the respondents like the green background
  • nice layout/template
  • cute widgets
  • blog description's font color is quite difficult to read.
In Part 2, most people really see blog design as a very important aspect in blogging. Therefore, I really took in all the comments and compiled them into useful guide. I even added border for my side bar navigation and change my blog title's colour. Again, any comments are always welcome here.



Part 3

Type of blogs:
  1. Picture blog - add more picture{A picture really speaks a thousand words}
  2. Music blog - Some prefer music blog; however, not everyone loves it.
  3. Word blog - No comment
  4. Video blog - No comment

Therefore, after reviewing all the comments, I would still stick to my original style. But, I will add more elements into my blog posts. Comments are welcome here!


Conclusion
After reading all the results, I also started to try my best to improve my blog. However, at the end of the day, this is still my blog. Therefore, for certain aspects, I would keep it remained because that is my personality. Undeniably, the blog survey had really given me a good chance to improve my blog. Again, a big thanks to everybody!!!! Your ideas are really helpful!!!!


p.s: Sorry I sounded a little rush!!! I will be leaving to my Uni soon. Therefore, may not be updating that often! But, please still visit me and leave me a comment! I will get back to you as soon as I can! - - - - - Heading back to packing!!!

Shopper! Beware When You Shop!

As my course was going to start, my mum and I went to do the last minute shopping. Yup, it was really food-stocking day! Plus, I also needed a beautiful frying pan to cook (^^). Therefore, really needed to shop till I dropped.


Well, as me and my mum was busy stocking food in a supermarket, we came across the food racks and saw the price of my favourite peanut butter, RM 9.95. To be honest, usually, the plain peanut butter is a little bit cheaper. But, this time, all the peanut butters were the same price. So, we chose the peanut butter with strawberry. However, we walked by another section. There was the plain peanut butter lying above the price of RM 8.60. Of course, I wanted to save a little money, so I changed to the plain peanut butter. So, before I paid, I went to the barcode scanner to check the price. To my surprise, the machine displayed the price of RM 9.95 instead of RM 8.60. Hmmm, it was really annoying, but, I went to take another bottle and scanned it again. Finally, the machine displayed RM8.60.


Peanut Butter, my favourite! But still, have to be careful while doing shopping!



Maybe you would say that this was really small matter, but, I was able to save about RM 1.35. To rich people, RM 1.35 was a small amount. But, some people only made about this amount a day! No kidding! So, as a wise consumer, we have to be very careful while purchasing goods. In my case, the fault fell on the negligence of supermarket's staffs to update the barcode.

Okay, these are my few tips while doing shopping:
  1. Make a shopping list.{Save time and save petrol-don't have to go for 2nd round.}
  2. Try to remember the previous price of the same goods that you have bought.
  3. Check the expiry date{A lot of people really ignore this important point}
  4. Check the price { This is the must!}
  5. When you pay, check the cashier display{Because sometimes, they still forget to update the latest discounted price into the cashier.}
{Even though these tips are quite common, not many people remember to use them while doing their shopping chores} Anyway, Happy Shopping!!!!!!


Moon Cake Festival is coming! Happy Mooncake Festival!

  • P.S: I am also very happy that there are so many responses from all walks of life for my blog survey. For my next post, I will reveal the survey's results{Again, I thank everybody for supporting my blog survey}
  • P.S:I am also planning to not use innit to promote my posts for the time being due to personal issues{Really agitated by some people there} Please don't judge me, this is my choice and the world is democratic! {Maybe will blog a post on this to make things clear}
