Today while replying comments I came across a link recommended by me as broken. It was totally broken in appearance as well. But for my surprise it went unnoticed for over a week.
While correcting that link I got to understand some thing about a human behavior. That made me realize do we all react like this to others blogging mistakes ?
At this point I want to share a little experience of mine to help out my readers in such situations.
Talking about nature of a good blogger! I remember I had some blogging friends as readers on my local blog who helped many other bloggers to get through early mistakes of blogging, including me. This not only helped in creating a working relationship for them. But if it was observed that between those individuals and that whole circle of blogging, a new series of online friendship started. It continued till they worked online for several mutual ventures, but all for social cause. In the end this all resulted in a local meet-up, and a bond created which is not only still working for them to get over their professional lives offline.
Well this could be one of the benefits of helping blogging friends. As, in turn it comes for your own good. Helping you increase your blogging efficiency. After all a blog is for your readers and your readers are somehow your friends.
What is your opinion in this regard? and what would you do When You Spot a Mistake in Others blog or Content?

I usually drop an email to the webmaster regarding any mistake in design or in the content. This helps me to build a better relationship between other bloggers

Really great question Hami?
I do try to notify the blog owner except on rare conditions when time is not on my side.
Thanks a lot for the nice post,

If I was the blog owner, I would have liked my readers to point out the mistake, so in the same way I try to tell the webmaster if I spot any mistake on his blog. But such occasions are very rare.
