The other thing is the music and/or the talking page. It always reminds me of that one woman's voice you hear sometimes on a page, "Congratulations. You are the winner of, or one click away from.....". (ugh) I recently started a blog on a new site and really enjoyed it at first. But, the one thing that is a little disappointing is that there is too much effort required to get the text to break up nicely in a post. Even sometimes when you end a sentence and begin a new one, on the finished page, the text all looks like one sentence. More time is spent fixing how the text appears on the finished page and I've never encountered this kind problem with a blog. I can only imagine that it annoys some of the readers if I don't get everything edited just-so. I seem to spend more time working around the platform and it's shortcomings than I do with writing. I keep hoping it's just a temporary snag with the program (site) being new and updates are still to come. But, if the platform continues like it is now, I may have to leave.

I especially hate those ads that expand to block the text or the link to the next page. And the ones that pop up all kinds of crap when you simply mouse over them are doubly annoying.

In order to post my blog links on Twitter (which are really long and take up too many characters) I have to use a shortener service. Adjix is the one I chose because they give me traffic stats like how many people click through my links, what time they do so, etc. So for me it's a two part thing. I have to shorten but I like having stats about who is clicking what. :-) I cannot speak for everyone but I can explain why I use Adjix.

Just yesterday I was checking out a visitor's blog, and couldn't find the mute option. I had to mute my screen off! I'm retweeting this! Ok, this is not as much as stop reading, but one of my newest peeves is people linking to different url than their actual ones, for example, you with the ad.vu thing and many others with the weird feedburner url. What's with that? Very reasonable article. Just yesterday I was checking out a visitor’s blog, and couldn’t find the mute option. I had to mute my screen off! I’m retweeting this!
