It's a hassle but if you decide blogging is your deal you're going to want comments at some point. Just something to consider. People! Always nice to see you (read you). You did drop a word so I'm not sure if you mean you only post once a week or are talking about Balance. Could be either I suppose. Also I do make minor exceptions. You are an amazing blogger so thus can get away with the one post a week. I will still stalk you when I have time. Erik ~ You can always change platforms.

You crack me up with that mac n cheese comment. Also, what's this all about, "If the author has very strong opinions that are totally opposite mine. There is no point." Wouldn't that technically be me? That's ok I still grok you. Sometimes it's nice to read opposite opinions to learn a new view.

I think it depends on the blog. I have blogs that won't change too much no matter if I do posts three times a week or three times a day. I also have blogs that if I don't post more than once daily the stats go down more than I'm personally comfortable with. So maybe it also depends on the blogger's satisfaction too. With one blog I get depressed when it goes below 50,000 and others I don't care. Crabby! One of my favorite bloggers. Thanks for visiting me here. I agree. Many people have mentioned music. I like when people have a button that allows you to turn the sound off. My audio is obnoxious too but maybe not as hard as yours ;) Amy ~ Agreed. Just like words I think you can usually cut some videos and be just fine. Even with good internet videos can be so slow.

Why I won't read a blog? 1. Aesthetically crap. I am visual and it has to draw me in by the way it looks. 2. Too much information not enough personalization. I want to feel I know the person 3.If the author has very strong opinions that are totally opposite mine. There is no point. 4.If it is a food blog and they mention boxed mac and cheese in a positive way. 5. Ditto for serving corn with pasta. 6. Interesting about the music. My readers have increased dramatically since I put music on two of my blogs. Great post jennifer. I grok it. So Jennifer, what you are saying is..don’t be chatty.

There are a few blogs I won't read anymore for this reason. The music thing irks me, too, especially when it makes my computer freeze up. Widget over-kill also bugs me. I also don't like when every single post has a video. It slows down the loading time, and most of the time the videos aren't worth playing once the page finally does load. I know video is supposed to be the wave of the internet future, but at least give me something to read while I'm waiting for your sub-standard videos to load.

I have to echo Beth and say one of the things that will send me fleeing a new blog immediately is when music comes on. I've often got my volume cranked up and can never seem to find the button to turn it down--there's something so alarming about unexpected music that not only will I shut down the blog window, I get flustered and usually end up closing down a bunch of other open windows as well trying to escape. (I am, obviously, not particularly sophisticated when it comes to using my computer!) Anyway bloggers: kill the auto-play music, please. If you're partial to a great tune, tell us about it and let us play it ourselves. Great post, Jennifer, and we seem to have very similar taste in blogs!

The blogs I frequent, I like to comment on. But I just don't have time to comment that frequently. I get something like 40-50 comments every day, but I only update two or three itmes a week. I think daily updates are really overrated unless you are an information providing site (like this one). Some of the best mommy blogs - dooce, finslippy, etc., only update two or three times a week and they have no problems with traffic.

If someone has a great personality that shines through their writing, even if there are writing mistakes, I'll stalk it.

Occasional off-topic posts are fine, but when you really have no idea what the blog is about, there is no reason to come back. The overly personal ones are a little annoying as well. Recently I visited one that I thought would have a similar theme as my chronic pain blog, or so I thought. The posts were full of vulgar language and complaints about how she hates her mother. Perhaps the blog was therapeutic for her but was nothing I would care to read. That type of blog shouldn't be made public, in my opinion.

I almost want to say I don't like bloggers who don't stand behind what they say or lie. But it's hard to prove a blogger is like that. It's just a feeling you get. On the flip side; most paid blogs do require readers to log in, no matter if the blogger thinks it's a good idea or not. So it may not be that bloggers fault. I hate ads on blogs but get it because that's one way blogs make money. So... Judith ~ "LOL So since I have a chef blog, when I hit 140 words I just sign off and leave you to figure out how to make the dish?" No, I'll read posts that are pages long just so long as you hit that enter key once in a while. Long I don't mind. Long with no breaks makes me insane. Beth ~ Funny about the anonymous comments.
