A prime example of what not to do

Here is something that I found that has proven that my hypotheses are correct. I found this blog under the “Most Recent Update” menu at the blogger home page. It’s called Thoughts

Here is a list of why this blog has no comments, so for all of you who want to create a blog that is audience friendly, take some notes.

Background color – Pink is a “loud” color and it makes the blog seem childish

One word title – It is a blog about this persons thoughts, but you can tell there is no
creativity, anywhere

Personal Information – “Went grocery shopping. Bought all mother approved food. Tofu,
avocado, rice, beans, potatoes, corn, asparagus & broccoli. Made
some tofu & onion dish that was delish. Mmmm.” No one
really wants to read what exactly you bought at the store today

No Pictures – A couple of pictures would help


There is nothing personally wrong with this blog, it’s basically a diary blog and this person uses it a lot so they must enjoy it. This is a prime example of a blog that will not generate an audience, so if you are a person who wants to welcome strangers to your blog, follow these hints and you will be seeing comments soon.
