What Makes a Blog “Little Red X” Worthy?

Monday, March 29th, 2010 at 4:00 pm

We’ve all encountered them – those blogs that make you click that little red X in the upper right hand corner just to escape the horror of it all.

The thing is, we all have different reasons for our escape. Is there one or more specific items that you feel is being overused on blogs? So overused you exercise your gag reflex on your way to the red X?

I’m thinking colors – graphics – services – advertisers – fonts – grammar – darned near anything at all really.

I’m interested in learning what is it exactly that a blogger can do that would instantly drive you to clicking the little red X.

My Reasons to Click:

GRAPHICS that are far too large and takes too long to download.
Too many PAY PER POSTS and not enough of the bloggers personality and talent shining through.
Old worn out BLOGGER TEMPLATES. What can I say, I love eye candy!

Your turn!
