Giving and Recieving Criticism On Your Wiki Posts

With having a wiki, people can comment on your posts.  When you post something people might think something is incorrect about your post.  Because of this they will leave a constructive criticism pointing out the problem.  As the person who posted the wiki, don't take offense to their comment.  Most are honestly trying to make your post better, and are not trying to make you look bad or wrong. So the best way to respond to this is to first see if what they corrected is really wrong.  If so then you correct the wrong piece and leave a comment responding to the person.  In the response you should thank them for their help and note exactly what you corrected.  If they are wrong and the information is correct respond by telling them why it is correct and/or why you worded it the way you did.  Responding to the criticisms is good for you as a blogger because it shows that you do care about your readers and you readers opinions.  Also with blogging you can give criticisms.  When giving criticism make sure the information you are giving is 100% correct.  Make sure that you are being constructive and giving advise not just being rude and calling them out. The best way to be a good blog reader is to have an open mind to their opinion and especially to post things pertaining to the subject in the most.
