Blogging Pet Peeves

Things about blogging that makes me scratch my head. OFTEN!

Why do you have comment moderation and word verification at the same time. Do you hate those that comment on your site that much?

Speaking of word verification, why use it at all. If you are afraid of spam (hey we all are) then moderate your comments. That way you won't have to worry about spam, and you aren't making your visitors jump through hoops to leave you a comment.

Music when your site opens. Okay some of it is okay, but your style of music may not be for everyone.

Seven tons of stuff on your sidebar that takes a week and a half for your site to open.

Ads that flash and jump all over the place. I swear I have a tic from some sites I've visited.

I comment on your blog but you've never commented on mine. Pretty soon I'll quit commenting. Just saying.

Rollover ads. I'll not come back to your site ever again. I've had Entrecard folks that I dropped on for a very long time then all of a sudden there are roll over ads. Bye.

Having too many ads. Okay by me if you want to earn some money, but if you have so many ads that I can't find much else then what is the point. Oh yeah...making money.

People with no profiles. Your comment is so going to get deleted.

Spammers trying to sell me Viagra. Hello, I'm female and I'm pretty sure I don't need Viagra. That goes for the male enhancement ads too.

Spammers that leave links to pornography. I'm just not interested okay?

Spammers period. Get a life will ya?

Colored text. My eyes are old and they just can't take some of these font colors.

So what blogging pet peeves do you have?
