I visit other people's blogs. Really I do. However, I generally don't comment. Not that I don't want to . . . sometimes.So why don't I? Glad you asked.
Here are my top three reasons.
Number 3
Your post is too freaking long, so I don't read it all.
Unless it's a book excerpt, cut to the chase. Get to the point. Tell me what you told me you were gonna tell me in your post title so that I can read it, enjoy it, comment on it and get on with my day. Please.
Number 2
The font is too tiny. I don't like having to pull my laptop on my chest to read what you've posted . . . even when it's good stuff. Let's not even talk about white letters on light grey backgrounds and the like.
My NUMBER 1 reason for not commenting on blogs:
My email address is required. That's an automatic click off for me. Why do I have to leave my email address to leave a comment? If you want my email address, do what the rest of us have to do, beg and bribe for it. I'm not just gonna fork it over to you. It's too much of a hassle, not to mention you might start sending me stuff. I don't want to subscribe to your newsletter right now; I just want to leave a comment. That's all. That's it.
Okay. I'm done. Now leave a comment about why YOU don't leave comments. No email address required.
