I also don't like it when people write one blog and never update it. That's happened to me twice. I read a blog I liked and when I went back it was the same blog for two months.

Blogger has a great spam filter.<br /><br />Okay, I'm guilty of #2, but I've stabilized now.<br /><br />I don't mind the moderation, but captcha and moderation is overkill.

Maybe I can expand this to be 10 Annoyances soon enough.<br /><br />Some bloggers don't realize that moving graphics (falling snowflakes and leaves) on your background does detract from pleasure viewing because as the falling graphics move off the screen on the sides, this activates/deactivates the side and bottom scroll bars giving it the effect that the scroll bars are flashing on and off.<br /><br />Sound and moving objects are not good design elements unless you're attempting to keep a 9 month old baby entertained. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901684621715980573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351235520870325177.post-42638552008748502352012-02-07T10:01:32.327-05:002012-02-07T10:01:32.327-05:00Great advice.

I don't want to listen to someones music when I'm reading, I have my own. <br />And with some blog/work websites, they'll have videos playing automatically, usually in some small hard to find part of the page. When I'm online, I'll have 10 or 15 tabs sometimes, so I have to go through all of them looking for this tiny video just to turn it off. <br />Hate it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416563729054759598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351235520870325177.post-70339072943577472172012-02-07T09:12:11.992-05:002012-02-07T09:12:11.992-05:00LOL!!

I changed mine about three times over the past three years because over time I would see other features on other blogs and tried to move away from the standard templates to get my own look. One change was a huge one, going from greens, blacks and olive colors. LOL. Shut it, don't laugh at me.

Some blogs I open, and leave straight away without even giving the content a go. Themes and branding are so important. Mine is changing in my head all the time, but I will commit to a theme only when I am ready. <br /><br />I turned off the captchas, and will turn off comment moderation too ... thanks for the tip!<br /><br />Oh, and spelling and grammar is a huge one for me.
