Although I am somewhat new to the world of blogging, I do enjoy reading alot of other peoples blogs mainly to hear the many different opinions and views on alot of topics of which I find interesting.

It is also nice to see the different writing and blog styles which accompany each persons blog as they are very unique and personal to the individual who is writing them.

Having said all that, there are a great deal of things which I really hate when it comes to reading other peoples blogs but not being an expert, I cannot call these mistakes but rather just things that really piss me off.

Here in no particular order are my top ten:

1.   Music that automatically plays on a site.
First off, I hate your music and therefore I am pretty sure I would hate you as well if I even knew you.
Anyone who is so arrogant that they think that every visitor to their site wants to hear some shitty song which undoubtedly has been illegally downloaded, is a fool.
Learn some basic HTML and make it an option to your visitor if they want to hear YOUR crappy favorite song be played on THEIR computer in THEIR house.

2.   Weather & Temperature without naming the location
Like what !@!@&^*@ good is that. Tell me the temperature without telling me where it is.
Are you so paranoid that you think stalkers are going to visit your hometown if they see the weather is mild and pleasant?
If your weather button doesn't include a city, please just add a title to it or take it off your site because it is damn useless to everyone.

3.   Pop-up or Pop-under Advertising
These really annoy me because they are almost always advertsing !@!@&^*@ that no one in their right mind would ever click on voluntarily to buy so they have to use this unethical intrusion to get their slimy products in your face.

4.   Senseless use of Profanity
This is never welcome. Wait. No, I am guilty of this and I always find it funny, damn funny.
Ignore this one.

5.   Sites offering me a free IPOD
I hate that !@!@&^*@ , I can afford to buy my own IPOD and if I couldn't, I would not try and get one through some creepy pyramid type scheme.
Or are you just trying to be my friend and tell me about this great deal?
That is very kind of you but maybe just email the few friends you have left with this great offer and leave me alone.

6.   Clocks without a city or timezone
Very similar to the weather thing above. I don't need to know the time if I don't know what city or timezone the clock is reporting. Stop being so paranoid or get off the internet, Jackass.

7.   Shitty spelling
No matter how interesting your message may be, if you don't take the time to spell-check it, I don't have the time to !@!@&^*@ read or decipher what the Hell you are trying to say in your best broken English.
Get off your lazy ass.

8.   Donation Buttons
Donation buttons are only for greedy individuals who think we should give money to them or their snotty nosed kids for no reason whatsoever.
I don't want to hear their hard luck story or why their freak kid needs an operation.
Using a blog or the internet is not the proper way to raise funds, so stop whining and begging and shut the Hell up.
Four words: Get a !@!@&^*@ job!

9.   Plagiarism
This is alive and well in alot of blogs I have read so far.
The writer quotes someone elses blog line for line and word for word and then conveniently claims they cannot remember the source of the material they "borrowed".
That is pretty unethical to begin with but also pretty stupid since if I noticed it, you can bet thousands of others did too, you plagiarist !@!@&^*@ .

10.   Passing off a list as a blog
Anyone who uses a top ten list of their likes or hates is simply just !@!@&^*@ lazy.
They do not deserve readers since they clearly cannot put words together and must rely on a simple laundry list for cheap laughs or entertainment.
D'oh!
