"Because your blog is Ugly and Boring"

As each day passes and I get more and more into blogging I realize that I go and visit less and less blogs. I have my favorites, my must reads ( you know who you are), but I don't just go and read and comment like some sort of blog ho anymore. No need to pimp myself out anymore, I have moved up in this little game and now I am the pimp.

I have actually had some people email me and ask me, "Why don't you ever read my blog anymore" and I say, "Oh, I am so busy designing and working lately that I haven't had time, but I do miss your blog." That is complete BS.

What I really want to say is, "You hardly ever update, your site is ugly, and when you do post something, it is boring."

Please know that if you are reading this now it probably isn't you and your site that I am talking about. If I haven't been to your site lately it is probably because I have been inundated trying to get blogjacket.com up and running as well as working on the redesign of www.annefittenglenn.com, www.thethompsonbaby.com and a couple of other little fixes for mrsthang and some other bloggers that have asked for assistance.

I only post this post today because I realize that the blog community is still an extremely sensitive one. People don't really like criticism - critical or constructive - they prefer heaps of honey sweet praises and loads of gushy comments despite their depressing poorly written drivel.

So, if you do send me an email that asks "Why don't you read my blog anymore?" I will probably respond with, "Because your blog is Ugly and Boring". It might not actually be Ugly and Boring(for some reason I felt I had to capitalize those words), but I like to be mean every now and then and you need to thicken your skin you sensitive little baby.

eddie. you're a little feisty today!

can you believe that i went ALL DAY YESTERDAY without reading a single blog?

it was like a mini-vacation for me. a mini-vacation full of withdrawls and heaving, wondering when I might get the chance to visit my faves again.

I think we all have our favs, people who fit into our perfect little world. Sometimes our favorites won't love our writing style, and sometimes they will. That's how the cookie crumbles.

If people can't take constructive criticism on how to make their blogs better, then so be them. I personally like it when people give me feedback (as a newby) so I can ultimately become a better writer. But that's me.

Thanks for the help on my site by the way :)

Eddo, I found your blog within the past few weeks when I was introduced to the world of blogging and while I have not had the time yet to create a great blog like yours (it is really cool! :), I would love any suggestions you have for design. I just chose one of the defaults that are available until I can put time aside to create a really cool one! Check it...

I heard the Ugly boring Line yesterday... I am over it. And I got acalades and praises from Eddie today... "so I am no longer boring people with every detail of my life... today anyways." Sometimes my readers are a bit fickle.

lol.

That's right, O great Founder of the Blog Patrol. You the pimp!

Thrilled to hear that my redesign is high on your priority list--I just hope I don't have to start paying you to read my blog! ;).

Wait a minute. Didn't I see somewhere on your page that you're a Christian? Is that right? Sad to see that you seem to be living up to that bad reputation you've gained amongst some other bloggers.

Ha ha! Anonymous! Finally someone says something controversial.

Sorry I stopped visiting your blog - it was ugly and boring.

You're a jerk, Eddie. This is my last time reading your blog. Oh, and by the way, you have no clue how to punctuate, and your grammar skills are atrocious. Say whatever you like, I'll not be back to read your reply.

Well, looks like I upset someone - I guess they couldn't take a joke.

que sera sera.

eddie. who is anonymous? and are they just kidding with you?

can't you look at your stats and see who they are?

THE WORLD WILL DIE IF YOU DON'T TELL US.

I looked in my stats and I didn't see anyone familiar around that time - if you know of a way to find more details in your stats, please pass the information my way - I have never really explored my stats all that much other than number of unique visitors - that is all that matters to me.
