interrogation
So I have a question, or two, for all of you. It concerns bloggers and non-bloggers alike.
So speak up, comment...be heard.
I am very interested to know.
If you have been reading and you have never commented...then consider this your big chance.
I would love to hear from you.
- What attracts you to the blogs that you like?
- What keeps you coming back?
- What detracts from one?
- What makes you decide you don't like a particular blog?

"What attracts you to the blogs that you like?"
ReplyDeleteInsightful commentary, informed author, a topic I am already interested in, and (if you promise not to tell my wife this) if it is written by a beautiful woman that certainly helps. Hey, it is something that catches my eye and gets my attention. ;-)
"What keeps you coming back?"
Consistent posts, high quality, some humor.
"What detracts from one?"
No consistency in posting!
"What makes you decide you don't like a particular blog?"
Boring, a topic I am not interested in, author who doesn't seem committed to keeping up their blog.
* What attracts you to the blogs that you like?
ReplyDeletesubject matter, writing ability, visual look... thats initially...
* What keeps you coming back?
interesting content and interaction (someone who comments on my journal as well as me on theirs)
* What detracts from one?
bad layout, cramped layout, lack of updates, someone who doesnt comment on mine...
* What makes you decide you don't like a particular blog?
it is different each time. sometimes i think if someone gets heaps of comments all the time i think they probably wont be interested in me... if they dont update i lose interest too
(i just came back to yours. i stopped looking because you said you were taking a break. im glad youre back)
John and Groovybabe: Thanks for your answers. I defintely see some things that I personally need to put into action
ReplyDelete*cough* consistency *cough*
I am going to write a post around everybody's answers so keep them coming!
Consistency isn't a factor for me since I have blogs on my Google reader. If they update I see it, if they don't, I don't lose any time checking.
ReplyDeleteFor me the blog either has to be a subject I'm interested in, or if it's not a subject that interests me, it needs to be very well written, and usually funny.
Writing style is important. I also need to feel a connection. I enjoy seeing pictures (and wish I knew how to make my blog more "scenically" interesting). And I love your sense of humor--a huge draw!
