Having a successful business blog or personal blog is going to require you to be open minded, it’s also going to require you to be willing to listen to constructive criticism and feedback from your readers and potential clients. I know that most of you think Ive lost my mind, but the reality is that just because you think your blog or business blog is the cats meow hardly means it’s reality. It sounds crazy, I know. I mean doesn’t everyone love the super small font and the requirement of a telescope to read the page content? Don’t count on it.
You should be willing to listen to your readers and accept their feedback about the experience they have when visiting your blog, taking the time to ask your readers what they HATE (or maybe just dislike) might open your eyes to issues that you never even knew existed. Even if your daily readers and blog subscribers don’t point out any issues they might very well offer up an idea or two that might help to benefit your blog traffic in the long run.
So now that you have a pretty good idea as to why I would want to know what you hate about this place I guess it’s time for you to leave a comment and break the news to me, tell me what you hate about the Extreme John blog. I have thick skin and as long as you keep the personal attacks to a minimum I don’t foresee anyone getting hurt around here. OK, I doubt there will be any of that but you can at least tell me what you would like to see more of or what you think can be done better around here.
P.s. Don’t bother bringing up the terrible spelling and grammar, you won’t be telling me anything I don’t already know.
P.s. II Oh yeah, if you decide to ask your readers what they hate about your blog let me know how it goes or share a link to your post here in the comments section, I’ll stop by and check your post out.

I hate that I can’t get enough of the girls and that I keep having to come back only to find some stupid post as to what I hate about this blog.
Actually John it’s all fine with me. I can’t find anything that I think is missing.
Sire@WassupBlog´s last blog ..The Morning Glory Cloud And Anna Creek Station
Oh no you don’t. You’re not suckering me into this again.
The only thing I would like to see is your last few posts. Sometimes I see several I want to read, but have to go through a few extra steps to get to them. This doesn’t have to be a sidebar navigation. It could be in the footer somehow. Other than that, I’ve got nothing.
Anne´s last blog ..Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving 
@Anne, it’s actually pretty funny that you mention that…. where the hell did the recent posts in my sidebar go? Haha. Hmmm… Dawn!
Rather than tell you what I hate about this place (can’t think of anything!) you made me realize my font size is too small on my site, so I will be trying to figure out how to change that in my style.css later today. Thanks for pointing it out!

Keith@ Hot Blog Tips´s last blog ..Article Promotion
Frankly speaking, nothing I hate with your blog, at this moment. I love your sidebar categories section design, each section has its’ unique design, you design it yourself? and you how you change it? Mind to write a tutorial about this thesis customization?
Don’t worry John, I’ll speak out if anything goes wrong in your blog.
Cheers,
Lee
@Lee Ka Hoong@How To Blog, most of it is really just widgets and some CSS stuff. The images are way out of my league and done by Dawn my graphics guy.
@Extreme John, seems that you have a great graphic guy behind ExtremeJohn.com.
Anyway, I would appreciate if you could write a short tutorial and show us how’s the Thesis CSS coding will be looked like. You know when it comes to CSS stuff, I’m totally new to it, I just know a little bit about that.
Thanks in advance John!
Nothing on your blog that I hate as of right now actually. As I visit more I’m sure (if I find something at all) I’ll be able to help you out here!
Have a good one, John!

Eric´s last blog ..Lets Help Each Other
@Eric, ok sounds good, keep me posted.
I got Nothing for you since you asked for no personal bashing.
Love the site and all the links.
It does seem a little slower loading time lately, maybe its my computer?
Another Extreme post that nobody else is doing.
Have a Super Safari Super Bowl everybody.
SafariDave´s last blog ..Paleolithic Era Dog
@SafariDave, I agree the servers are much slower lately and it’s annoying. It’s the initial connection time.
I hate that i can’t have a original blog design like yours. I hope one day i make a god original one for my blog.

Yeah I think it would be cool to see some videos off the cuff with the Flip

i love the question and the post..it makes sense to open yourself up to criticism and correction.the feed back will surely make your blog better.
by the way,your blog is great,i love the way you make your blog look and sound quite informal even when talk about very serious issues.it stands you out.
will surely ask the same question later on my own blog.

You get too many comments – it’s hard to read them all.
You have too many good posts. I don’t have the time to read everything here I want to.
You ask hard questions. It would be easier to say what I like about the blog.
Ned Carey´s last blog ..2010 Baltimore City Tax Sale Announced
I think I express my opinion pretty often enough that you’ve already heard all the things that I don’t like about it.
Mike @DailyShotOfCoffee´s last blog ..Rocketfuel XXX – Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Bold From Rocketfuel Coffee Review
I’m jealous of your success, but I don’t hate it.
Hey, I got my first criticism today, and that’s great. Critical comments are so much more helpful than “thanks, you’re right” and such comments. Stirs the brain and checks the ego.
itauditsecurity´s last blog ..Why a Wastebasket Audit?
The one thing that sometimes bugs me is the semi-nekkid wimmin. I’m really not a prude, but two things bother me about it –
1. I sometimes work with my kids around. Some images here are racy enough to make me avoid your blog at those times.
2. Well, not sure how to put it, but how would you guys feel if I had pictures of hot semi-naked guys on my webmasters blog? It’s like, I’m perfectly fine if you manage hardcore porn blogs even – entirely up to you – I just don’t see the relation to the professional stuff I come here to read about and discuss.
Hope I’m making sense. Tell me if you think I don’t, so I can start putting sinful pictures of almost-naked hunks on my blog too :p
Anne @ b6s.net´s last blog ..Managing the Content on Multiple Blogs
@Anne @ b6s.net,
>I just don’t see the relation to the professional stuff I come here to read about and discuss.
I agree it’s not what I come here to see ( but it doesn’t stop me from looking.
) but since john is in the tanning business, which is about vanity and looking good, I do see how it relates to what he does.
Ned Carey´s last blog ..2010 Baltimore City Tax Sale Announced
More rants maybe. I like reading about what other people hate so I can sit in my chair and laugh and feel better about myself that other people hate the same thing. For example, road rage. Oh man, if someone pulls in front of me and then drives under the speed limit. You were in such a hurry to cut me off and now you’re not???!!!!#$#$@
The only thing I hate about this blog is… I don’t come here often enough to enjoy it.

Deneil Merritt´s last blog ..January 2010 Income Report
Hmm, I definitely don’t hate anything about this site. I would say that you spend a lot of time advertising your businesses, and for those of us that live in the other 49 states, (Or other countries), that doesn’t do us a lot of good…
HOWEVER… you also put out a ton of content to counteract the advertising… a lot more content than I put out, and a lot more content than a lot of other blogs put out, so I really can’t even complain about the advertising.
Let me say this. I’ve been reading your blog for months, and I feel like I barely know anything about you, Extreme John. I know that you like MMA, the company of hot women, and that you’re a workaholic that advocates the use of tanning beds. Other than that, I don’t know much about you. How about some more content that is personal to you?
Trey – Swollen Thumb Entertainment´s last blog ..TMNT: The Travesty Of The Third Movie
One thing that I really hate about this place is I’m not as extreme as you are John
with girls on your footer

@Latief@AnotherBlogger, haha thanks and thank you for the comment I appreciate it.
I hate how you tease us with your pics

I don’t hate a thing about this blog. If you ask me what I like most about your blog I have one answer: I can be free in your place.
