I’ve been getting a little frustrated with the comments that have been coming into our sites lately.
Don’t get me wrong. I love getting comments as much as the next person, but since I’ve got so many blogs it’s really easy to spot commenting patterns and dare I say it? Comment abuse.
I won’t rehash how I feel about this here since I just wrote a post about Comment Spam and Comment abuse over on one of my other blogs – The Web Files.
I hope that you’ll go and read the post and tell me what you’ve been experiencing, especially if you are a do follow blogger.
Over on WebStyle I wrote another post about blogging. Well blogs and their lack of navigation.
Considering that I run the do follow blogroll I spend a lot of time going over sites trying to find comments in order to see if they follow or don’t follow. Lately I’ve been discovering a lot of sites with very few comments in recent posts and I’ve had to search, in some cases, the whole site in order to find a comment to verify a sites do followness.
This doesn’t take much time if a site is easy to navigate but the sites that don’t have next page or older posts navigation links take up too much of my time. Go read some of my blog navigation suggestions if you think your blog might be one of the ones I’m talking about.
What are your blogging pet peeves?
One of them is when everyone is using the identical template. I get a bit confused sometimes. Most of the bloggers I end up going back to a lot, they have all customised their templates to suit themselves and it suits them – and me.
I love your template but I think I said that last time I was here. 🙂
You’re Canadian? Yay Degrassi! 😉 Thank you for sending so many of your best comedians out here for our comedy festivals.. in particular The Three Canadians who I adore..

My pet peeve is when I can’t find out who is writing a blog. Sure one might want to remain anonymous, but at least say that’s the case rather than make me trawl through about pages and such.
If I recieve a letter, I expect it to be signed and I think that sort of etiquette needs to follow with blogs.
My pet peeve is teeny tiny type combined with excessively long paragraphs or, worse yet, no paragraph formatting at all.
I breeze right by those blogs without pausing to read. If they can’t be troubled to make their blog visually non-taxing, I can’t be bothered to spend the time finding out what they have to say.
This seems to be a hot topic in the blogosphere now. By the way how do you manage to manage so many good blogs? Are you a full time professional blogger?
