Many thanks to our host, Alex Cavanaugh, and this month's co-hosts, Janet Alcorn, SE White, Victoria Marie Lees, and Cathrina Constantine, for making this event happen.
This month's optional question is: What turns you off when visiting an author's website/blog? Lack of information? A drone of negativity? Little mention of author's books? Constant mention of books?
Droning is a huge turn-off. That's when I skim. Ha! I think I just realized why the teacher on Charlie Brown only says "wah wah wah".
It looks like Peppermint Patty agrees...
What is your biggest turn-off when you visit websites/blogs?
I agree that droning on is a turn off. I'm glad I don't usually see it on the blogs I follow.
ReplyDeleteMostly not, but sometimes...that's when I skim and pick something to comment on.
DeleteI'll never watch a Charlie Brown special the same way again...
ReplyDeleteHaha! I had a lot of those teachers in school.
DeleteI avoid the droners. Nothing new to say and it's not positive.
ReplyDeleteThose long winded blogs do tend to spout negativity.
DeleteDroners go away. And I like that teacher on Charlie Brown. I think I had her in middle school.
ReplyDeleteHaha! But really, that teacher doesn't speak for long.
DeleteClutter. I like simple, easy to navigate websites. I shouldn't have to read an instruction manual to peruse a site.
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly. It's aggravating having to slog through a website to find something.
DeleteYou had me at your blogpost title. Then I saw the YT video and I started dying. But yeah, I get it. Personally, I don't like cluttered or too hard to navigate websites. And now, droners too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the title. When I thought about droning, this scene came to mind. I personally don't like clutter either.
DeleteWe all seem to agree. No droning on, then?
ReplyDeleteExactly ;)
DeleteI tend to skim long articles as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's the only way.
DeleteYeah, I don't have time for really long posts.
ReplyDeleteI get that people have a lot to say, but I just don’t need to know everything lol.
