Reading blogs...a survey...which of these things do you prefer to see on a blog? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. PeacefulWmn9 (2491)   ranked 9 out of 391 in blogger6 months ago

Hi: )

I love to both read and write blogs and was wondering if you'd give me your input on this short survey. What are your preferences in the following:

Do you prefer...

1. Short posts or longer posts
2. Light or dark blog background colors
3. Simple lines or lots of "goodies" in the sidebars to look at and check out
4. To comment or not to comment
5. Subscribe by e-mail or in a reader such as Google
6. Reading a certain blog every day or just a few times a week
7. Topics all on a particular subject or a lot of variety

Thank you for your input!

Karen

1. Short (but informative/entertaining) posts
2. Light (but using dark colors actually help the environment, I've read)
3. Simple lines so the page loads faster
4. Comment
5. Email
6. Few times a week
7. It depends on the blog. If it's a personal blog, then it'll be boring if the person writes only about one thing. But if it's a blog specializing on a topic, then I'd want that blog to stick to its theme.

1. Short posts, but not too short or I would feel I it was not worth visiting the blog again.

2. Light backgrounds. Black is out, as it can be difficult to read text, and I don't like photo backgrounds that interfere with text.

3. I like a few "goodies" in the sidebars to look at and check out, but too many flashing banners can be offputting.

4. I do like to be able to comment if I want to, and I don't mind comments being moderated.

5. I subscribe either by e-mail or by RSS when a blog is really interesting to me.

6. I would never reading a blog every day, just visit a few times, perhaps once or twice a week.

7. I like to read blogs on topics that interest me rather than one that features a lot of general posts.

Your responses are so helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to answer the questions. I am trying to figure out which changes I might need to make to my own blogs: ) Thank you again.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji,
First of all, I am sorry to dis-appoint you as I have no idea, how to create a Blog.
But i do read the blogs in following preferences:-
1. Short-Posts.
2. Light back-ground, so taht, it could be read, in dark back-ground, it may become
mis-spelled and may carry wrong meaning.
3. Simple
4. I wish to comment, it will show how many people favoured/Voting
5. Email to friend/others
6. I am not sure, as per requirement.
7. Better to be specilised in order to make it easy.
May God bless You and have a great time.[em]thumbup[/em
