Can you spare a little time helping feed back on a new blog we’re launching?

Hi everyone!

Our MSE Charlotte is launching a blog on her experiences digging out deals, bargains and glitches.

It’s still very rough but we’d really like to get your thoughts on it.

We hope you like it but we’re looking for constructive feedback, thoughts, ideas and bug spots. If there’s something you’d add, take away or just move please let us know. As it’s early days we can’t promise we’d do everything you suggest immediately or at all but it’ll be great to hear your ideas.

Thank you!

PS, we know this isn't a Grabbit but we figure as it's about Deals, which if you're reading this board you're most likely interested in, then you'll be interested in this.
Could you do with a Money Makeover?

    Are these all going to be deals that MSE Charlotte and/or MSE staff have found, or will the blog be including deals found by forum members? And if so, will they be given credit for finding?

  • Hi!

    Have a look through the blog to get an idea of the kind of thing Charlotte's covering at the moment. It's very much in the early stages and it's flexible so we can't say now what route we'll go down with it as we don't know ourselves.

    If you have a look at the Quick Forum Tips in the weekly email or our Deals section the team usually tries to credit the forum user who found it if they did find it in the first place.

    If i was you.I would go the exclusive to mse route as i am sure that most of us use sites such as hotuk deals...
    And this site just has not got the layout for such a easy journey...Look at how few deals are on there now..
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Did you assume I hadn't looked? I can tell you that the top post was about CocaCola, there was one that didn't interest me about some beauty bag effectively being free because of a £1 voucher ... I can also tell you that the IMO the layout is far better than many other blogs/posts that I end up reading as a result of links from others, but then I'd expect an MSE Blog to look professional.

    I know that you normally credit the finder in the weekly email. That's why I was asking whether the Blog would do the same.

    It is too big and so fills the page and then looks cluttered. . look at headforpoints for a brilliant site with a great layout (I have no connection but it is the only blogsite I look at daily). It is updated once a day in the morning and so you know when to look (occasionally also at lunchtime)

    Layout looks good to me - and the content. The only criticism I'd make would be the Facebook-only comment/discussion. That may be just a personal view, but haven't a lot of people moved on and away from Facebook now?

    I too think the huge pictures make it look cluttered, and I skim over the 'ever wondered?' chat to get to the deal.
