The littlest things can turn me off. you have to post a lot but not too much. I hate pop up comments. I hate blogs that are just full of ads. etc etc etc. Thanks for this post, it's a nice little thing to read, and I'm hoping that I'm getting my blog right! I want to have a blog that stands out because it's good. I'll keep working on it ;) I can be really picky with the blogs I read.

It's the worst kind of spam there is. Why would I want a big ad popping up while I try to read what you are writing. While I'm at it, I hate when people default their "Notify me of followup comments via e-mail" to yes. If I want to be spammed, I'll opt-into it. Sometimes I just want to leave a comment and move on. I also don't particular care that a person with a cat logo named "taylorblue" read your site 3 days ago. I'd rather know what kind of toothpaste the "morning routine" guy used. You're right, being bold and saying what you think is fun. I pretty much don’t read blogs with pop-up link ads. It’s the worst kind of spam there is.

I guess my #1 pet peeve are the sites that are too "busy" and confusing; there's no way I am going to spend time there. But just so you know, I spend LOTS of time online and guess I would be the type of person who you'd want to make a loyal reader. Onto a different but related thought about ugly girls not getting dates. I am a girl and am not ugly, but as someone who always roots for the underdog, I wonder why guys won't give a girl who is everything they want- but ugly- a chance? I know how visual men are, but aren't there more important things??? And lets face it, not all guys are model-material, either. anyway, i digress... Totally.

Yes, it's true, there are thousands upon thousands of crappy blogs out there. I probably started at least a dozen of them and left ones I got bored of to die in the wind. I've started up a new blog (the one linked to here) that's anonymous about my personal finances. It's really nice to be able to remain anonymous because it makes it easier to be open and say things that might be shocking or that aren't always PC. Still, I feel like it's kind of lame to hide behind a blog. Do you prefer blogs that have a strong identity behind them, or are interesting entries enough? Haha.
