The JR Express 100th post: Your Opinion
.
My dear readers,
This is my 100th blogpost and for the occasion I’d like to get your opinion on The JR Express and what I should improve 🙂 Please post a comment on this blogpost and express freely your opinion about the blog. If you prefer to do this by e-mail you can send me your opinion on jadrahme@gmail.com .
I also would like to know if you think that I should have a different Twitter account just for my blog or keep using my personal one (a poll is available at the end of the post for you to vote). I should note that I rarely tweet personal stuff on my Twitter account and 90% of my tweets are about Technology, marketing, creativity, social media etc. If you can tell me why you think I should/shouldn’t have a separate Twitter account I will be more than grateful 🙂
Don’t forget to check out my Twitter account and the blog’s Facebook page.

The JR Express 
I really enjoy reading your blog and it has some interesting content but I have recommendations I personally find will improve it even further and attract people to come back:
1- avoid smileys
2- you currently haven16 categories and your posts are unevenly spread out accross those categories. Either remove some categories or make them more generic to include more posts. I am sayinng this because if I came accross your blog through one of your two fashion posts, if I don’t know what this blog is truly about and if I found your fashion post interesting, I might come back from times to times to check if you added more fashion posts and not find anything (in this case). Making more generic categories would be better.
3- in the beginning your descriptions were too long. Try to keep them short or have more valuable content and avoid the “blabla”. I check at least 10 blogs a day and sometimes when your posts are long and could be trimmed down to a more valuable content, I skip the text and go straight to the video/link at the bottom.
4- I don’t know if there is a way to recommend similar posts in wordpress, but this would be a big plus. There isn’t in tumblr and I am doing it manually for some of my posts but it’s ugly.
Im always waiting for a JR Express new post e-mail notification in the morning when I check my e-mails. Keep it up jado !

Thanks for your feedback bro! Concerning the smileys I should maybe avoid them and appear a bit more professional while trying to keep a personal tone. What you are sating about the categorization is completely true I should work on this. Texts and descriptions should definitely be shorter and I think you realized that I started doing so in my latest posts. Finally, for the posts recommendation, I don’t have the ability to have an incorporated function through wordpress but I do include hypertext link in some posts. Maybe I should try to do something manually and see if it works well!
Thanks for sharing your honest opinion, for being a regular reader and for your support bro 🙂

Jad I read your blog regularly and I find it a great source of reliable information. I saw a major improvement in your style an language since you started. Keep that up. My only suggestion is to keep your tone serious. Keep up the good work
