Um, Excuse Me, But You Have Broccoli in Your Teeth
written by khull on Oct 23, 2008
How many times have you encountered a web page or blog where something isn’t quite right - the header isn’t showing, there’s a typo or a broken link, maybe there’s that lovely white box with an X in it where the image should be?
So the big question: When you stumble upon a problem that you know you would want to know about, do you send the site owner a message and tell them? Or, do you glance away and move on, kind of like when you encounter someone with a bit of broccoli in their teeth?
I visit, well about 300+ web pages a day 
and usually will encounter at least one or two things I’d want to know about.
How about you?

I notify a blogger if the problem is easily fixed, like a typo in a banner, but if the writing is terrible there’s no point in commenting. In that case I just move on.

It drives me crazy to see misspellings and poor English. And somehow, it just sends their credibility down the toilet, especially when resources like http://www.m-w.com are just a tab away.

I actually emailed someone yesterday, because their comments were not working. That’s the first time I actually told someone of a problem.

Not to mention the pop ups and (countless) widgets that slows down the page loading..ARGH?!@
It’s really a pain..

I have to be in a seriously poor frame of mind not to notify the blog author of any problems encountered on their site.
Sometimes such an occasion has generated a new post. For instance, I’ve come across so many Blogspot blogs that have left their comments on the default settings without realising, and so I posted about it, including a ‘how to’ for where to go and what to do to amend them.
So, when will you send me my halo?
