By danderma | September 6, 2011
If you blog only about your self… Kila tet7al6am o 7anana o self centered.

If you post about fashion… weh emsawya ro7ha ma7ad y3rf bel markat wel lebs ’3airha
If you post about diet… laish diet 9ekay 7aljich o teth3feen.
If you post about your cheat day… waaaaain el regime?
If you post about London… Londoniya wanna be o 3balha m7ad ra7 london ’3airha.
If you post a restaurant review… eeh etsawelhom da3aya le anah akeed 3azmenha.
If you post about a negative experience in a restaurant or shop… laish it3amemeen o teg63een rez.ghom entay me7tara minhom etha shay mo zain la tgoleen.
If you post about an event… eeh akeed ma36enha gifts o emnadenha lazim tet7aylag.
If you blog about things you get as a gift or to try… tetshay7a6 o mo shayfa khair o akeed mo 7lo.
If you post about a personal issue… athatna o e7na shakoo feech
If you post about a general society issue…. tetfalsaf emsawya ro7ha mo9le7 ijtema3i
If you post a photography post… Allah y3afee el Canon Eos ele etkhaleha tetfalsaf

If you blog about anything…….. you will receive comments.
wilcomments = ta3beer 3an ara2 elreaders.
wil2ara 3 anwa3 :
- ma3a
- ’9id
- mu7ayed
Sure, blogging is not about pleasing your readers, but sometimes their opinions do matter. That’s why we have the comments section. Of course, not everybody is going to agree with/like every single post. That’s the beauty of social media and interacting with different people. Kil hatha ysahim fe ethra2 elblog w ta6wera, lakin mo elsay6ara 3ala elblogger wala elta7akum bshakh9etah. Ya3ni ma7ad yigdar yalghee sul6at elblogger 3ala blogah.
& there are some Blogs that are exactly like ma ya6lbho almushahidoon, especially the new blogs. tlgon elbloggers dayman y6lboon taqyeem elqura2 o ara2hom. They want to know what the readers think of their blogs. No blog wants to lose its followers.
3umooman, eltanawi3 bilposts shay 7ilo.
*Why are YOU complaining? Blogkom is doing fine
danderma on September 6, 2011 at 12:55.
Laa ako farg been el commenting o been el te3ethreb… hatha ele agoolah
Bs marrat el kalam ele yenseme3 ykoon malah ma3na that’s why

Commentators comeback :
If you post royalty free stock photos without permission …. we will know about it (http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-7997692-man-with-magnifying-glass.php)
If you write the same stuff everyone else writes about…your blog sucks.
If you write about stuff only YOU like…your blog sucks.
If you use old and boring content…your blog sucks.
If you use Improper writing “wa haloma jarra…”…your blog sucks.
If you hide behind a fake identity/nickname…your blog sucks.
If you use too many photos, ads, videos than words…your blog sucks.
danderma on September 6, 2011 at 13:00.
If you comment in a non polite way… you suck!
Btw how would I be able to get el picture without el watermark if I didn’t get it from an approved place with permission? Use your brains shwaya

How about you use your brain a bit and open up to comments ? and btw I was being polite in my last comment.
danderma on September 7, 2011 at 00:49.
Are you mad? Why the hell are you looking all over the place for that damn picture? Now hadait el deniya wel deen la9eg le eb hal picture? You are actually trying to find it online to prove what? That I stole it y3ni wella shino?
I would understand it if it was your picture or something but just to google all around to find a picture to make an absurd point is strange. It seems like you have a lot of time on your hand!
manafo on September 7, 2011 at 17:06.
you should look-up “reverse image search”. I’ll make it easy for you, because you don’t have much time to spend online (http://www.tineye.com). you are welcome.
That aside, I’m not here to be rude and tell you what to do or what not to do in your own blog. it’s your blog ofcourse and you will do whatever you want, you could just have ignored my comments or denied them to be posted. I do come to your website because I follow @Blogatapp and some of your posts I find interesting. (like this one)
my point is, having goof style and basic internet/blogging etiquette will make commentators complain less. some of the “if’s” I menioned makes me run away from blogs, so I just wanted to say my opinion and maybe advise cause others might be having the same point f view.for example, sourcing your images, just like when you watermark your own. not flooding the homepage with images, use a break/read more function, and so on.these little things do make a difference to us visitors.
There is no need to be offensive to commentators and attack them the attitude you demonstrated above. so lets all chill and take it easy and enjoy
danderma on September 8, 2011 at 04:29.
Newtons 2nd law states that for every action there is a reaction.
The attitude I demonstrated is the reaction to your attacking comment. All the “Ur blog sucks” are not nice to be frank and do not result in me answering tolerantly. Then again I should have given you the benefit of the doubt. It could be that you meant it in a general way and you didn’t mean my blog per say but the way the comment was constructed doesn’t really state that.
Honestly you are confusing me. If you meant it in a general way then I owe you an apology for biting your head. If you did mean my blog personally then I don’t care. I have a zero tolerance policy towards rude comments.

Awal Shay ili muu 3ajba lay dish ur blog it’s that simple! Wall a ma7 ad 6aghum 3ala eedhum w galluhum type this site

Ehe yat 3la il blog. 7eta in Twitter yegolon le athetena sektay! B3d oho twitter o kaifi ele mo 3ajbah la ysawele follow… enama sektay? Shakoo!
manafo on September 7, 2011 at 16:53.
I agree with you about twitter. people some how don’t know how to use the “unfollow” button.
The Balcony blog on September 7, 2011 at 06:46.
i totally agree !!
Blush on September 7, 2011 at 13:00.
You are so useless Manafo, indeed you are behind something anyone is free to access and take. The thing is what kind of picture you take to make your blog article interesting. What is a big deal in taking picture from anywhere from internet. IS it your family picture or something ya3ni?
Danderma’s articles are unique and interesting and many people out there love following her. If you have any problem with her then please go open some other blog which has plenty of duplicate stuff and give you useless comments there, in that way you will not know where your time passed!
manafo on September 7, 2011 at 16:52.
Blogging etiquette makes more people like your blog, and complain less. that’s the whole point of the post isn’t it ? whining commentators. so my point is if have good etiquette, you should have less problems with commentators. why do you all take it too personal ?
Jacqui on September 7, 2011 at 23:24.
I leave you with one phrase:
“The more popular you get, the more haters you acquire.” – I made that up!
LOL! Seriously hehehe allah e3eenich but you’re doing an awesome job!
Just A Bunch on September 8, 2011 at 00:15.
My dear Dandarma, don’t bother too much about negative comments, just shake them off! You are free to write whatever you wanna write; this is your own blog, & you have dedicated readers & followers, so why care about some negativity? You know you won’t be pleasing everybody, even your own readers & followers can’t possibly be liking every single post; to each their own, but at the end, what matters is that you keep doing what you love & people are free to either stay or leave
btw, I’ve enjoyed this one; made me laugh! But I can also sense the heavy-chested disturbance between the lines!
manafo on September 8, 2011 at 07:28.
Danderma, even if you don’t like some comments, take them into consideration, think about them, unless they totally don’t make any sense at all, and pure rubbish. It’s never good to say: I don’t care. I know some times feelings will get in the way, and you will say “shyaby hatha weya wayha msawy ro7a fahem, 5al yewaly”. but if we are able to listen, we will satisfy more audience. I’m a co-writer in a blog, I do understand your feelings.
danderma on September 10, 2011 at 14:05.
As a co-writer on a blog I expect you would know how to make your comments more coherent. Anyways 7a9al khair I suppose.

مساء الخير
وجهة نظر حلوة بس اراضاء الناس غاية لاتدرك
ولو ناخذ شريحة من المجتمع بنحصل فيها اهتمامات مختلفة
يجوز تحصلين ناس تحب تقرا بالمدونه مالتج عن المطاعم او الحلو وماتهتم بغيرها
بجهه ثانية تحصلين مهتمين بالطباخ والكتب والمواضيع الثانية
كل الشكر وتقبلي مروري

7yach Allah o welcome to my blog

Although i travel to london annualy bas i loved your experiances there . i loved how when i read something you wrote which i did exactly the same! i loved the post where you took a picture of the swing , cuz the exact same thing happens to me when ever i pass by the swings i get an immediate flash back :”)
danderma on September 13, 2011 at 11:11.
Ee they are so nostalgic! Nothing beats the rush you feel from a swing chair!
Caesar on September 25, 2011 at 10:41.
The word blog comes from “Web Log”. A log is a diary of sorts for thoughts, complaints, ideas, records, collaboration or anything really.
So technically, and due to the innate meaning of the term “Blog”, anything goes.
In this context, nobody has the right to tell you what’s right and whats wrong to blog about.
Cheers

danderma on September 26, 2011 at 10:04.
Thank you! That’s what I’ve been trying to get across for the past 3 years!!!
