    Feedback
In summary, the speaker is a programmer with limited writing skills but was encouraged by friends to create a blog. They are seeking feedback and mention two online critique workshops - Critique Circle and Critters. The speaker then thanks someone for trying to critique their work but admits they are not familiar with poetry or lyrics. They also mention being on the second rewrite of their blog.

I am really a programmer, so my writing skills are limited.
However, friends encouraged me, and I wrote http://tpsme1.blogspot.com, but can't seem to get any feedback.

Any feedback will be appreciated and favor will be returned.

A humble newbie

Have you tried any of the many online critique workshops? One of the best, I think, is http://www.critiquecircle.com/default.asp.

You have to critique others to have your own looked at, but they make it easy with their in-line templates.

Another good one online is Critters.

I was going to critique it, but when I read it, I had no idea what I was looking at. I'm not a poetry or lyrical kind of guy, sorry.
