" A good blog with only a few formatting and spelling errors - I suggest rereading the published blog and you'll pick these up (bullet points under the Threats imposed on bogs section are grey instead of black, etc.).
I think you've covered the main issues mentioned in the seminar really well but I don't get a sense that you were actually there. You haven't mentioned Chat Moss at all and don't really give your own opinion on the subject. How did you feel the Wildlife Trust were coping with the issue? Do you think the project has a long term future?
I really like the layout of this blog, with the large grey quotes, the picture and the bullet points it is quick and easy to read. I think you could improve it by putting some scientific names of species in and expanding certain points with further references etc. You have clearly read some good references around this subject so you should make sure you link them into the text so other people can go off and look at them too."

"This is the first time I've visited your blog and I think the layout is very impressive. The header picture is really colourful and immediately made me want to read what you'd been writing about.
This blog is a nice summary of the topic you found most interesting within the seminars. I think it's a great idea to talk about one overarching concept rather than the specific topic within each seminar.
However, you've only mentioned mammals (and not put scientific names). Are you concerned with all the other invasive species ie plants, reptiles, insects, pathogens? How do you think we can reduce the chances of more invasives coming into the country?"

"A very good summary of how you tackled the assignment. I particularly like the screenshots which, although small, definitely help explain how you did it! I also found the task quite difficult as I'm not sure what I want to do for a career. It was useful to know what each section entails, but an odd way of assessing it.
Do you think the assessment would have been easier if they'd got us to write up a business plan for the Dragon's Den business we came up with?
Also, finally, you've got a spelling mistake in your closing line. Defiantly should be definitely."

"A really brilliant blog that was great and easy to read. It was really nice to see your own opinion on the subject, and not just a regurgitation of what the seminar was about.
I can't really offer any advice on improving the blog (it's great already), other than to put more references in. You've got some good articles linked but may state the source of the pictures and link some things into the text to back up what you've said.
Overall an excellent blog and I'm sad I haven't looked at it before today! May even go back through and read your other posts :-P"
