A Bill Of Rights With Blogging Tips For Beginners

File:Bill of Rights Pg1of1 AC.jpg We, the blog readers of the blogosphere, hold these truths to be self-evident:

  • That our time is valuable, so we should not be held captive by blog pages that are obstructed with pop-up ads that float across the page.
  • That our comments are worthy, so they should not be subject to the whims of the evil captcha empire.
  • That our reading time may be stolen while children nap, bosses blather, or family members watch t.v., so it should not be broadcast with background music.

What rights do you want bloggers to respect?

    I want people to stop posting 20,000 self portraits and 50,000 angles of the turkey sandwich they had for lunch. 🙂

    Hmmmm, I want people not to try and impose their own "rules" on my musings. If i want to blog about a very interesting crack on the wall – so be it.

      Love it! I like that this post talks about popup ads and captcha, because those don't have anything to do with content. Other posts with a similar subject get into nitty gritty of what i want to write about.

    I hate captcha codes – I can hardly ever decipher them anyway.

    And, don't make me search for a way to comment!

    Love this! No auto-play anything – music, videos, etc. Captcha is the worst!!

      ughh …. autoplaying is the WORST. I hate when I have 500 tabs open and something starts autoplaying.

    I hate those captcha codes! It has taken me 3 times to make a comment before. So lame!

    HAHA! I love this! NOTHING that gets under my skin more than captcha codes! No that's a lie, there are some blogs that I just down right can't figure out how to post a comment on!
    The one thing I want bloggers to follow is simple: proof read. It doesn't have to be perfect but please make it comprehensible- just read through your work once or twice before hitting the publish button. 🙂
