You may not know it, but your blog could be detrimental to the health of your readers. Are they complaining of vision problems, dizziness or headaches? Depression or rapid heartbeat? Homicidal feelings? I’m afraid that your blog could be the cause. It’s vital that you read this scientific list of blog related illnesses and take some action, today.
Auto-music linked to headaches/shock/rage: Is having music on your blog really worth the risk of giving your readers a heart attack? For the weak of heart, it could be deadly to have music suddenly pump out of a silent computer. Unlikely? Maybe, but possible nonetheless. Auto-music has also been linked to headaches and feelings of uncontrollable rage.
Horrible grammar/spelling linked to anger and frustration: Reading a blog filled with spelling and grammatical errors is just plain infuriating. Proofread and proofread again and you will have happier, less frustrated readers.
Animated gifs/jam packed sidebars linked to dizziness: You know that feeling of stepping into an insanely loud and crazy club when all you want is to be laying on the beach? Let your blog be that beach. A nice and simple layout will make your readers feel relaxed and tranquil rather than dizzy and borderline homicidal.
Never ending paragraphs linked to exhaustion/boredom: Separate your thoughts into paragraphs to avoid putting your readers to sleep or boring them to tears. The return button is there for a reason… use it!
Small type/dark background linked to vision problems: Do you want your readers to need glasses because they read your blog? Do you want them suffering from crows feet and eye twitches? Use a font large enough to be read without squinting on a light, legible background and their eyes will thank you.
Word verification linked to depression: Let’s say your reader is having a bad day. She tries to comment on a post and can’t make out the nearly-impossible to read words. Or, she attempts the math problem and gets it wrong. It’s just too much for someone teetering on the edge. Get rid of word verification, boost your reader’s self esteem and maybe even save a life!
See? With a few easy steps, you can alleviate your reader’s symptoms and improve your blog. Better blog = Better health, it’s a win-win for everyone!
You’re welcome.

Awesome post!

GREAT tips. I’ve been weary of turning off my word verification for fear of spam. But I’m gonna go turn it off now and see what happens.
P.S. If anything is making people sick over at my blog, it’s my post from yesterday. Eating Macaroni n Cheese then going for a run where there’s no toilets along the way equals mucho bad stuff is gonna happen! ; )

Thank God you wrote this. I fucking hate word verification on blogs. It pisses me off and I usually leave depressed and you guessed it, without leaving a comment.
Rachel {at} Mommy Needs a Vacation recently posted..Friday Favorites #2
Thank you Jill! I have scared the crap out of me and my husband laying in bed clicking away when suddenly loud music comes screaming out of the computer. Holy shit it is scary. I have also almost broken my laptop as I watched it fly across the room due to my body’s crazy reaction to the noise!
Captchas are infuriating and make it impossible to comment a LOT of the time. It just kills me. I have wordpress and moderate the comments. Askimet catches a shitload of spam and the rest I delete. I approve the lovely people who comment and it takes all of 1 second. Is that not possible in Blogger? I still read – I just get rejected a lot from making my own lovely comments on these blogs!
This post is fabulous and it is right on. Simplify. Proofread. Paragraphs and some thing pretty to look at in peace. Bloggy Bliss!
p.s. I am working on making my posts shorter. Sometimes I crank out mini novels that Iam sure send readers into a snore fest.
Brittany at Mommy Words recently posted..Honey, don’t teach them how you clean. You sort of suck at it.
It can be terrifying, right?! Or, the worst is when you have a sleeping baby and BAM! The music wakes them up. Sooooo annoying.
Great tips! I do really hate the busy blogs, filled with crowded sidebars and a too-busy background. Less is more!

MamaCas recently posted..Sippee be GONE
That music scares the fucking shit out of me…it’s even worse when it’s all depressing and shit. Don’t these people realize that I’ve probably smuggled my computer into a dark closet for 2 freaking seconds alone and their damn “meaningful” music not only scares the shit out of me, but also lets the Crazies and Husband know where I am!!!
I’m such a fan of the return button that I’ve started using a lot of bullet points…apparently PowerPoint would be jealous of my blog.
Rebecca recently posted..What does your child do that reminds you most of yourself? How does it make you feel?
Just yesterday I was bitching and moaning about a blog with automatic music. I couldn’t find where to turn the stupid shit off and was scrolling up and down like a maniac (and no, I didn’t want to just turn my volume down because I’d probably forget to turn it back up later and miss a notice of some kind haha).
I told my friend who’d sent me to the site, “Doesn’t she know people HATE music on websites and she’s probably losing business because everyone just leaves instead??”
I finally found the “auto radio” widget, or whatever, and turned it off, but still…
So MySpace circa 2003. STOP THE MUSIC, ALREADY!!

I feel strongly about that auto-music!! I have almost had a heart attack entering websites playing music. Especially when the house is quiet and my child is taking a nap!! I’m not mentally prepared to hear music at that moment in time. I need warning to turn my volume off. I will never follow a blog with auto-music!!
Jennifer recently posted..Kellogg’s Cereal Recall 6/25/10
Your post almost gave me a heart attack. I was so afraid these were going to describe my blog. But I think I’m doing OK (for a newbie)… whew!!!
I could have said it better myself! The auto music just slays me.. so you WANT people getting pissed at you when your stupid song wakes up their baby?
Also, re: the busy, busy sidebars… that shit makes a site take forever to load! Another reason to hit the back button!

Emma recently posted..Letters of Intent
Amen! Another with the word verification and depression…the reader my type their heart and soul out in a comment, hit “post” and then close the screen, only to notice a *split second* before the screen closes that a damn word verification POPPED UP and now they’ve lost their comment.
And the grammar and spelling KILLS me. Seriously, if people talked like they posted, I don’t know how they’d have friends.
Kmama recently posted..TYVM: 6/24/10
Or blogs comment sections that require you to create some sort of account to leave a comment. I have enough accounts & passwords to keep track of – I don’t need one for your blog and your blog only when chances are, I am only reading on a whim and now because of that, will never ever visit again or if I do visit again, will leave just as frustrated and annoyed as I did the first time.
And auto music? Who in the world puts music on their blog? I thought that was a thing that tweens did on their myspace page to make them seem cool and hip?
And, I agree – I have a rather slower connection some nights at home – and if there is to many widgets and such in the sidebar that take forever to load, then, I tend to close the window before the page finishes loading. I’m a New York thru and thru, meaning I have little to no patience. LOL
I.hate.automusic. SO much. What are you supposed to do when you’re sneaking a blog read at work or while kids/husband are sleeping & your computer starts blaring music at you unexpectedly. That’s just wrong.
Also hate Wall-o-Text. My attention span is not that long, plus I am tired & my eyes are going to get lost in the 63 straight lines of unbroken text. Paragraphs, people, paragraphs.
WTH am I Doing recently posted..I want you back!
I changed my font &even I like it better! I’m pretty sure the word verification is off. I hate that too! Thanks for the tips!!!
You know what I hate about word verification? When I misstype it. I feel like a moron. I hate that feeling.
So in other words, myspace is probably deadly?
…explains why nobody’s on there anymore.
Raine recently posted..So Now I Have a "Prescription" to Run
Exactly- it’s dead, let’s not bring it back!
I came across a blog with word verification and you had to enter numbers before you could comment. Then the blogger still had to approve your comment! What the hell?!?
And the music, oh good god!!
Now I need to go lay down for a bit
Evonne @ All You Need is Love recently posted..Memories
I’ve seen that, too. WTF?
OK, I have word verification. It was for spam purposes only but now I’m going to reconsider. I don’t usually mind it on other blogs, but I get why it’s a hassle. No wonder I don’t get that many comments! Ha!
As for everything else – YES! I”m with you. The music, especially, will leave me no choice but to never go back again.

Aimee @ Ain’t Yo Mama’s Blog recently posted..Foodie Friday: Challah If You Love French Toast!
I hate when I stumble upon a blog and want to read more posts after reading the one I landed on and I can’t find a home button or the banner at the top isn’t clickable to get me to there. I can’t read your blog if I can’t navigate it.
I have kept the sound turned off on my laptop for the last 10 years just because of crappy music on websites. Unless I have itunes going, the sound is off. It also keeps my computer from yelling at me when I do something wrong ;)
Little known fact. Blogger’s word verification system was built by importing all of the words in the Ikea catalog.
Jack recently posted..The Life of a Writer- Thoughts

Hilarious…and while I totally agree with the auto-music, especially when you can’t figure out where the hell it’s coming from and can’t turn it in off before you wake your nursing/drowsy babe…I would like to submit one exception to the rule, Kelle Hampton’s blog, http://www.kellehampton.com/ because her playlist is awesome and I tune in when I can’t deal with the tantrums Pandora throws…(obviously there will be music on this blog so you have been warned!)
Yuliya recently posted..Teeny Tiny Nightmares
So funny that you say that– she is an exception to my “no visiting auto-music sites” rule. I do silence it after a while, but at least it doesn’t come BOOMING on the minute you get to the site!
I know I didn’t quite proofread that comment as carefully as I needed to….ashamed face
Yuliya recently posted..Teeny Tiny Nightmares
At first I thought you were going to write about how people blog about how perfect their kids and life are and it makes the rest of us sick. But these tips are helpful too. ;)

Texan Mama recently posted..Grow Your Blog Readership the Texan Mama Way
Ohhh, I’ll have to go read yours! Great minds… :)
Ha! Yes. All of the above.
Although to be perfectly honest, I didn’t know that *anyone* used auto-play music outside of MySpace anymore – as I’ve been in the habit of checking “Mute All” on my volume control unless I’m specifically playing something for about 8 years now. There really are still people doing that? I thought it was just lame advertisements.
Lucretia Pruitt recently posted..Oversharing? Undersharing? What Are You Doing?
LOL, word verification wouldn’t be so bad except that in my experience…..it oftentimes does not work on the first try……or the reader (um, me) reads the word wrong. Unfortunately, Blogger does not make it easy to filter out spam comments otherwise. But what I absolutely detest? Filling in all my information, hitting ‘submit’, THEN having word verification pop up. That’s just cruel!
Yes! That is the worst- you’re in too deep to back out and you’ve been tricked in to commenting. Grrrrrr….
There was a day where my very cranky two year old FINALLY fell asleep on the couch. Ahhhh mommy time….I get on the computer ready to do some blog hopping only to hop onto a damn blog p that played music…of course my sound was up full blast and woke up my daughter…OMG I was sooo pissed.
And I hate white font and black background!!! freakin hate it.

And let’s not forget that the really loud music can lead to being fired when the boss finds out you are reading blogs at work (not that I would ever stoop to that level *coughcough*) which in turn can lead to depression and hatred of blogs.
So the whole grammar/spelling thing…totally guilty here of giving blog poisoning.
HOWEVER, I read, re-read, publish by mistake, take down, set to draft, read, proof, and re-proof…then publish.
Then I may realize almost a week later the my post TITLE says Definately instead of Definitely.
There is not enough soap to wash the shame off.

vodka logic recently posted..Justifiable Homicide Tuesdays…. today
That’s it! I’m hooked. Subscribing.
I appreciate folks who spend a lot of time ( and likely $ ) setting up a unique and spectacular blog but I have to wonder, are those dark background, neon type blogs as difficult to manage as they are to read? Must not be.
Of course, there may be an ulterior motive behind such layouts… since my eyes are crossed and unfocused after trying to read one, I’m less likely to spend much time afterward visiting other blogs. Have to give my eyes a break! Things that make you go hmmmm.
Terri recently posted..Friday Follow Me ~ June 25th
Believe it or not, I came across the same word verification a second time. You know how they got those auto-fill features… well I actually had to sit there for a second because I typed in the whole word and that is what was recommended to me to help me fill it in.

Lynn from For Love or Funny recently posted..Your embarrassing moment deserves a gift…
Thank you for every single one of these tips. They are things that drive me batty when reading blogs. I won’t even stay on a blog that blares music at me.
And you better be a Pulitzer prize winning writer for me to come back if you have a black background.
Yesterday I came across a “featured” blogger and about 5 words into her post was the misuse of a word. Ugh. She used advise instead of advice. Sorry if you are the one who was featured and did that but proofreading is your friend.
Thanks for all of the tips! I’m guilty of the packed sidebars, but I at least try to keep some order in them. I can’t stand chaotic blogs with stuff everywhere! I did recently turn my word verification off, though. I’m still new to this and I am constantly learning ways to better my blog. :-)
LeeAnn recently posted..Saturday Playdate – Life With Rylie
Oh man the music thing really drives me nuts. I’ve only come across one blog that had it, but i’m convinced it made the page load really slowly, plus it startled the hell out of me. like, where is that coming from?? did i turn on itunes by accident?
As far as grammar/spell check, i try to be a real stickler about that. I’m sure it’s the former English major in me. Plus, I do really want to put out quality writing and I feel like that’s a part of it.
As for word verification, hmmm, I don’t know Jill, I’m hesitant to drop that for fear of spam.
Good tips all around though! A newcomer like myself always gets a lot out of a post like this. Have a great weekend.
Yes and yes to every single one of these but ESPECIALLY the crazy sidebars. I get so distracted – what should I be reading? The content? The badges? The ads? And THEN you fall under the spell of “Hell, maybe these people know what they’re doing and why don’t MY sidebars have this much going on?” I feel like Jennifer Aniston in ‘Office Space.’ I just don’t have enough flair and I’m going to get fired from Chotchkie’s.
Great stuff … as usual!!
Tammy P recently posted..Friendly Friday Blog-Hop
I seem to be doing well staying away from this ‘don’t do’ list. I take full advantage of the ‘proofread’ function on WordPress and even do a ‘find word’ to make sure I keep away from constantly using the same adjectives/adverbs.
Have you ever done a post on sidebar do’s/don’ts? I’ve tried to make mine user friendly, but am not sure what is the best info to put there.
HATEHATEHATE! Word verification. I always have to shake my fist and cuss out the computer when 9 times out of 10 I can’t read the daymn letters! Not only does word verification block spammers, but it blocks REAL commenters. GRRR!!!

all very good points. I’ve been through the gammet with blog design. Trying to make my blog look attractive to me and yet still readable. It’s a hard balance when you’re not a designer or have no eye for design that is.
I hate word verification too but with that being said I’m going to have to go and check my blog and see if it’s on or off. I never comment to myself so it’s hard to tell.
Perhaps one more question.. do the majority of people hate having their comments responded to via email? Do people actually go back to blogs they’ve commented on to see if there is a response?
Happy SITS day!

Enjoyed your blog. Good ideas also. I better check my setting!
There is NOTHING worse than stupid word verification. I hate your blog when I see that box pop up.
