Make better photographers?

I take pictures. And I take more pictures. I download them. Occasionally, to my dismay, many a picture has flaws in them. A pole sticking out of the head? Blurred image?

How can I shoot better pictures?

Here is where all my friends come into the picture. I shoot. I post. You shoot. You post. I err. You correct me. You blur, I critic you. Makes sense?

Rules:

• A topic is chosen weekly
  
• All members post one picture (only one picture) on the topic (with a couple of lines writeup on the picture)
• The picture posted has to be taken by the member (copyrights taken very seriously)
  
• Pictures must be shot in the duration of the assignment. Earlier pictures not allowed.
• Include all EXIF of the pictures
• Each picture has to be titled
• Members point out the goods/bads in the pictures
  
• Pictures can be Color or B/W unless otherwise specified
• Every member gets a turn hosting the weekly topic
• Post-processing of pictures allowed
• More rules will be created as we go along
