Plus I often have my own music playing at that time. It used to be even more of a problem when I lived at home and it was late at night or something I'd not know the sound was on and all of the sudden I'm blaring music when people are trying to sleep. I won't follow blogs that play music on the page load.Teresa Dawnhttp://naivaze.c omnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-20368871618811478692010-05-09T06:36:42.475-05:002010-05-09T06:36:42.475-05:00The "read more" is my biggest peeve..As ...The "read more" is my biggest peeve..As soon as I landed on the blog with just "read more", I am out..I don't want to read more; I just want to read enough..Icy BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137249916575963385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-23155223601166529992010-05-09T01:38:16.359-05:002010-05-09T01:38:16.359-05:00My pet peeve is bloggers WHO HAVE PET PEEVES!

Music, word verification, dark background light print, weird blog colors, background that makes posts hard to read, no e-mail linked to profile<br /><br />One that no one has mentioned yet is not having an option to comment as Name/URL. I used to blog on Blogger. I actually have a couple of small blogs still here. But my main blog is privately hosted WP and for whatever reason I cannot link it to my Google account. So I may be difficult to find but it is NOT because I'm trying to be difficult or mysterious. :)<br /><br />As for long winded posts - GUILTY from time to time. I'm self described as verbose! :)<br /><br />Surprised and delighted that nobody seems to be peeved by meme addicts. :) Or over-users of smiley faces!Bethhttp://www.bethszimmerman.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-56760099242709865862010-05-08T19:46:31.874-05:002010-05-08T19:46:31.874-05:00I don't like when I comment and comment AND co...I don't like when I comment and comment AND comment on peoples blogs and they NEVER say hi. Now, of course I understand if they are a famous blogger. I even understand if they are someone that gets like 15 comments a day or something. I DO NOT understand that they have 0 comments and they STILL never say hi to me. What the heck is wrong with them? It makes me so mad.<br /><br />Also, all the photographers around here where I live never say hi to me. One even works at my church. I think that is jerky. I think they are jerky. They need to get over themselves and say hi : )<br /><br />Am I a jerk?<br /><br />Maybe! <br /><br />You are not a jerk!<br /><br />I so agree. Those click more things annoy me. I only click on Scary Mommy's. No one else. I think those people think they are cooler than they are.

Top on the list is going to reply to a comment via e-mail and getting that blasted 'no reply blogger' e-mail! <br /><br />I agree with the abbreviated posts, although I've used them if I've done a really really long tutorial or something and all the photos make my page load slowly. I HAAAAAAAAAAAATE it when people only do partial RSS feeds. One of the ones I used to read switched over to that and I just dropped them!<br /><br />The music thing doesn't bother me so much anymore because I'm out of the US and most of the players have location restrictions now *L* SO instead of blaring music I get the player saying "Due to your location the media cannot be played."

Many that you graciously answered for me. I always appreciated that. Thanks. I'm no expert, but I'm happy to help anyone out if I can. They can feel free to ask.<br /><br />I don't like music that plays automatically. I absolutely hate, hate, hate that word verification. Sure, I understand why people use it. But it seems that blogger is running out of short and easy words, because they are getting increasingly longer too. The individual letters are getting jumbled closer together, and in scriptive writing and they are getting harder to decipher and type in the right letters. Sometimes I can barely make out the letters to type.<br /><br />I don't care for really, really long posts. Yes, sometimes we all do them depending on the subject matter, especially when it's something from the heart. But with all the reading and commenting that blogging requires, the shorter, the better. I try to keep in mind when I post, that the readers don't want me to go on and on.<br /><br />And I don't like awards, or being tagged to do something, and anything else along those lines. Sure, I appreciate the gesture and the recognition, but they are very time consuming. I sincerely thank people who do it, but no thanks.Mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979949404266325705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-85566426478854715542010-05-08T11:44:38.395-05:002010-05-08T11:44:38.395-05:00I read almost every blog in Google Reader, so thes...I read almost every blog in Google Reader, so these come from that side.<br /><br />Feed ads drive my nuts. Some blogs have more ads then content in their feeds. Sigh. I'm scrolling damn it.<br /><br />Only putting a preview of your post in your feed. I have over 400 blogs in my reader. You want me to click through, pay me.<br /><br />The only other thing that bugs me is people that don't check their layouts in browsers other then IE. I use Chrome for a browser.

I have never figured out how to put music on my blog, so I put YouTube videos in almost every post that way people can choose to listen or not (although 90% of the time my videos help define my post!) <br /><br />My biggest peeve? Bloggers who don't use paragraphs. They have one GIANT paragraph that goes on and on and on. They may change focus every few sentences but they keep running on. They are almost impossible to read. <br /><br />Otherwise, I have very few peeves. Most of us are not professional writers, maybe wannabes, so I read for the content and I don't care if one day you wax poetical on your kids and the next day get all militant politically...it makes it more like a conversation in real life.Happy Hour...Somewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12006873159933226231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-66185753695680267012010-05-08T08:39:36.637-05:002010-05-08T08:39:36.637-05:00Like Mary, I've only been blogging since Janua...Like Mary, I've only been blogging since January, so I don't have a list of peeves.

I can understand a typo or few, but one long, run-on sentence is hard to read.<br /><br />The auto music is annoying to me too, but I just keep the sound on my computer turned off unless I specifically want to watch a video.<br /><br />Word verification doesn't bother me. I can't stand spam, so anything someone else wants to do to eliminate it or lessen it, is okay with me.Tara R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02993625193184914299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011403437449160094.post-58511266677832490852010-05-08T08:27:07.940-05:002010-05-08T08:27:07.940-05:00These are GOOD!

This week, I had some tiny fonts appear randomly in two posts and had to go in and fix each annoying one, because it was driving ME crazy!<br /><br />As for Anonymous commenters who leave legitimate comments (Hi Lisa! Hi Aunt Rae!) I think they typically come from folks who don't have blogs and don't have the desire to join Google or Disqus.
