johnnylad · Tennis legend

yes

SMC1809 · All-time great

Is that yes, he can post his blog, or yes, it's against forum rules?

johnnylad · Tennis legend

I say go for it, had the courtesy of asking first!

Thanks for the replies. Here's my blog http://tennisbanter.blogspot.co.uk/ please don't be too critical as I'm new to blogging (haha) but I could really benefit from feedback from people who my blog targets :) :)

Not sure if the second yes to an either/or question was JL's idea of a joke confuse but I assumed the first yes meant ok anyway.

I have no problem with it, tennisadam, especially since you asked first, as long you don't start off multiple threads with links to the same blog.

(though maybe we had better reserve the right to change that view if another 100 bloggers suddenly want to do the same wink )

Feedback (from a non-blog reader)................okay theres a few typos and layout issues, and Nadal lost in the 1st round not the 2nd.

That aside its a pretty good read but, as a blog, I'd rather have more of "you" in there otherwise it could be a magazine article. To be honest though, I am, not sure I would bookmark a blog as a message board such as this covers lots of opinions mixed with facts. To get this "target audience" clicking on regulary I guess you'd need an "in" or a twist that made it stand out.................satire, humour or controversay? I can see its a lot of work though and it is pretty good, I would just need a good reason to start following what it is you want to write.

As a not very knowledgable fan, that's interesting. however if you're claiming to be a tennis expert, please get player names (federer, lisicki, sloane, ferrer, to name some of them) spelt correctly, and get a friend to do a spell check/grammar audit for you.

Thank you very much for your replies I really really appreciate it. I'm typing it via my ipad so the stupid autocorrect keeps changing some of the words I type. I know I need to prove read my posts in more detail and I will do. I'm trying to arrange a interview with somebody from the LTA but at the moment it's more of a hope than a reality,lol. I'm currently not telling any of my mates at the mo until my blog hopefully works out which I hope it does. Keep on reading! :)
