INTRODUCTION

Hello Minecrafters, and welcome back to another blog! I wanted to discuss the differences between Quality and Quantity in PMC Blogs. I fully appreciate any support or feedback you give to me, and will always be eager to hear any feedback. So, let's jump into it!

Quality

Quality is a great aspect to have in a blog, it shows the reader you are truly dedicated to what you're writing. This includes, correct grammar and punctuation, no flaws, and a great looking thumbnail for your blog. Don't get me wrong, everyone is human and I totally understand that, writing comes with flaws. If you look through my old blogs, when I was a kid I had countless spelling and grammatical errors. You should strive for quality on all work you post here on PlanetMinecraft; for now, we'll just be focusing on blogs. Their are countless blogs on PMC that just don't have any effort put forth into them, lack of grammar and correct use of punctuation, no thumbnail at all, etc. These type of blogs will never grow your writing skills on PlanetMinecraft. Here is a great example of implementing quality into a blog.

"As he ran into the mines, he slowly progressed lower...and lower...and lower..."

It shows that you've taken time to implement that into your blog, it's something small, that can make a big difference in the aspect of the reader's view on your blog. Personally, I think quality rules over quantity, but...that can sometimes not be the case.

Quantity

Quantity is something most bloggers take advantage of. They write long blog posts, but it doesn't mean they are good blogs. The amount of words on the blog is just hiding the fact that the blog quality is very low. This could mean not using grammar correctly, not using a thumbnail at all, or not implementing something that catches the reader's attention and makes them think "Wow, that's a pretty cool thing that they added." I could sit here and type a gigantic 5 paragraph blog about cats, and get good feedback, but did I really go above and beyond with the blog and make it high-quality?

Combing Both

For a true and exemplary blog, you could combine both, quality, and quantity. That would mean your blog would be a large size, with implemented additions that add a sense of quality throughout your entire blog. That kind of blog would be considered "A Super Blog." Everything that is needed to make a perfect blog combined all into one.

CONCLUSION

Thank you for reading this blog, and I hope you've enjoyed it! I am always welcome for feedback, suggestions, ideas, etc.! I'll be releasing a blog soon showcasing my time on the Official PMC Server, and showcasing my project on there. Anyways, I hope you all have a wonderful Minecraftian day!

Ahem. I note, with some dismay, on your blog about quality over quantity, that you completely misspelled "combining" as "combing". I thought that was rather ironic. Can you comb a blog? Does a blog have hair? Oh well. Sorry, I just had to point that out.

Good blog Keith and I agree with all of it, as quality in a blog makes it much more interesting.

I don't want to be picky, but you have left yourself open to it.
You haven't quite adhered to your own advice re grammar, punctuation and spelling..

I'll leave it to you to find and correct them:)

Anyway, diamond from me..

Sorry Keith, but I've removed my diamond from this, as you haven't acknowledged any of my comments, which leads me to think you're not as serious about the issues as your blog suggests,,

I'm going to call that quantity, not quality. That's something I add on to a school paper because I feel like I'm not going to make the page requirement. Adding actual detail instead of just repeating yourself is what makes quality.

"As he trudged deeper into the mine, the miner lit a torch to illuminate his path through the caverns, the stalactites looming perilously overhead as he delved deeper into the earth."

Regardless, this was a well-worded blog and the blogs section does need quite a bit of help.

It's considered a writing tool, and I would consider it quality, because it is better than just "-- he progressed lower."

I don't know what happened to the words, but the font was supposed to go smaller and smaller so it looked like the words were going lower. Aside from that, thanks for the feedback!
