Best critical Friend Forever!
In a sense larger than this class, isn't this what we all hope to have in our lives. A best friend is not someone who only cheers on our greatness, supports us in time of need, and laughs with us at our foibles, but is also someone whom we can trust to call us out when we are acting stupid, making mistakes, or just needing a wake up call. For this particular project, however, I do not need quite that much. To be a critical friend, and have a few in return, I need to first compliment what I see going well in other's projects. Next, I will seek out more information by asking probing questions to try to guide my CF to see what I see that may need improvement. Finally, I want to help my friends overcome their obstacles and point out issues that are apparent, or not, in their work. This may include becoming an editor for spelling and grammar, but based on my experience reading my peers' blogs over the last eight months, this will not be too much of an issue.

I liked how you said you want to start out by mentioning the positives of the website.

I agree with you Todd. Being positive is key about critical friends. There's nothing like feeling awkward about your projects. It's embarrassing enough to have to show your stuff to others let alone someone who will tell you what to fix. Staying positive and being professional about it is key.
