I’ve been blogging for a while now. Maybe too long. Long enough to have accumulated a list of things that piss me off. Ten things to be exact. Ten is a nice round number. I’m sure if I gave it more thought I could come up with more. But anyway here we go:
1. So-called blogs that are nothing but collections of links to other websites.
2. Blogs that have no real content — just a bunch of keywords and phrases for the search engines to generate traffic for the ads on the site.
3. A writer who lists his blog on a blog directory for all to see then, when you click on the link to check out his blog, you find that his blog entries are password protected.
4. A writer’s blog that has no writing at all, password protected or otherwise — just a one-note advertisement for his latest self-published book.
5. Blogs by those big media talking heads like Bill O’Reilly and Michelle Malkin.
6. Blogs that haven’t been updated in years and just sit there like a ghost haunting the Internet and sucking up bandwidth. Hey, if you aren’t going to maintain your blog, why not just delete it and spare us from reading your opinions about stuff that happened five years ago.
7. Photoblogs — unless you are a professional photographer who produced photos of artistic merit, I’m not interested. No one wants to see your pictures of that family vacation to the Grand Canyon.
8. Web design blogs that link to free files you can download only to discover that the links a) are dead b) take you not to free downloadable goodies, but to a paid service or c) take you to files that are corrupt, laden with spyware, viruses or trojan horses and will otherwise crash your PC.
9. A blog that pops-up overnight — say, a month ago entitled “Diary of a Mad Editor” run by a daft cunt who didn’t do her homework and doesn’t seem to realize there is only one, authentic Mad Editor, and she ain’t it.
10. Fucktards who, because they can’t come up with anything better to write about, come up with top ten lists.
