Blogging pet peeves
Posted on December 4, 2003 @ 2:03 pm
Sugarmama has a great post up today discussing her current blogging pet peeves (as well as some of the things she actually does like to see in a blog). The only thing I can think of to add to her list of annoyances is the kind of blog that not only relies almost exclusively on quizzes (”Which character from F-Troop are you?”) for its content, but that also posts tons of the always-tacky graphics announcing the results–typically complete with misspellings and bad JPG compression to boot. Oh, it’s even better when the graphics are remote-hosted and show up as broken images when the host server is inevitably down.
