The 10 Habits of Highly Annoying Bloggers For a long time I've known that some things have bugged me about certain blogs and/or bloggers. This is my attempt to collect them in a top-10 list. I was going to write a paragraph for each one, but I... [Jeremy Zawodny's blog] #11. RSS feeds that don't include the entire blog entry. Actually, I'm guilty on many count myself... Bloggers who rarely produce original content, instead simply aggregating links to other blogs that I already read. Guilty. I'm just trying to collect information about specific topics that interest me. Bloggers who spend more time blogging about blogging than anything else. Guilty. I think the blogosphere is only just beginning, although I am focusing more and more on desktop tools for weblog producers. Bloggers who are FontBitches and don't care. Innocent! Bloggers who don't provide any "about me" info on their blog, or pointers to it elsewhere on their site. I like to know more about the people I'm reading. Bloggers who don't provide a blogroll. Guilty on both counts. I am still building my website, and I need to figure out the best way to add these. Bloggers who post excuses for not posting. I don't care if you're busy today. If you're not posting, fine. I'll just assume you had other things to do. Innocent. Bloggers who react but rarely act. Commenting on what other people say or do is interesting, but I'm annoyed by folks who never seem to have original material. (Yes, this is like #2 but it's not quite the same.) Hmm, innocent. There's lots of activity going on, but it's more in the market analysis phase. Bloggers who don't provide obvious RSS links for their blog. Yes, I know that RSS auto-discovery is great, but not all tools do it. Each of my categories has an RSS link at the bottom of the page, but I'd like to put all my category links and RSS feeds at the top of each page. Bloggers who have TrackBack but don't use it. Innocent? 1:09:23 PM
