This week’s musing, courtesy of http://readbookswritepoetry.blogspot.in, asks:
What attracts you to a book blog? What puts you off in a book blog? Do you share personal stuff on your book blog?
What puts me off; blogs that are so busy with background that I have trouble reading the posts and sometimes even finding the post.
Do I share personal stuff: Not that much. I do put some personal information in the about me part of the blog but only share anything on a day by day basis if it impacts my publication schedule and then only general comments.
I agree, I hate crazy backgrounds! http://bookyaddict.blogspot.ie/2012/08/musing-mondays-8.html
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Blogs with neon background or a thousand widgets that make your browser crash definitely put me off. :)
ReplyDeleteI do like a calm, untidy blog..with good reviews!
ReplyDeleteI need to clean up my blogs, I'm not all that tidy...
ReplyDeleteHa, I've had that happen sometimes where I just can't find the post. As much as I've tried it just didn't exist to me lol. here's my Musing
ReplyDeleteBlogs that are so full of STUFF that I can't easily navigate are blogs I don't enjoy....
ReplyDeleteHere's MY MONDAY POTPOURRI/MUSINGS POST
I think I'm pretty tidy on my blog, but it's not a book-focused blog. I talk about books, but I ramble about everything else, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree that too busy of a background on the blog makes me short on patience. and it definitely is easy to become a follower of the blogs that promote a genre that you like.
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by!

Hi! Thanks for the visit to my blog!
ReplyDelete"...blogs that are so busy with background that I have trouble reading the posts and sometimes even finding the post."
You've said it! I hate those too. I don't like anything that makes my eyes hurt.
Yup - busy backgrounds - and a too busy blog are a bit of a turn off for me too. I don't mind some personal content but lots of books of course.
