Since this is such a cool idea, let's thank April for doing this! Big props to her. She's at Good Books, Good Wine and she made the entire thing up!) I know you would like to participate too! There will be a sign up on each day of the challenge. (Sign up here for the eighth challenge!)
15 Things that Appeal to me on a Blog!
- Bright colors. I'll still look at your blog of you have dark ones, but its harder on my eyes.
- Humor: guys I LOVE to laugh. You have to be funny!
- If you're not that funny but you have enough personality, I'm ok with that. Make it so that I know it's your genuine character.
- Comment replies: my own blog won't allow me to do it, so bear with me! But I like when people take the time to comment back to what I said.
- You must give your honest opinion about everything. Even if its just a small simple novella.
- An easy way to interact with you in other ways. A button on the side, a separate get in touch with me tab or something...
- No noises. Guys sometimes I'm at work blog hopping on my phone. Your noises get me caught and I don't want to have to explain why they heard some random noise or a movie trailer...
- Any huge things that could slow down your loading time. If it takes too long, I will grow impatient and move on.
- NO CAPTCHA! Guys I already wear glasses... I can't see very well. I almost ALWAYS get those things wrong. I give it one shot and if I get it wrong, I don't try again.
- Memes or other creative features. I like to see what book bloggers can do when they aren't being so "professional" while writing their reviews.
- Great layouts. I should be able to clearly read everything and see where I can go to get other information.
- Links! I love when you add links to old posts. For example. If you're reviewing the second book in the series, put in the review somewhere a link to your review of the first book.
- Copying off April here, I love when the blogger has passion for what he/she is doing and it shows.
- Thier reviews: I love when someone takes their reviews seriously. I mean this is for people like me who really read them. I don't want to come across a review where it's JUST GIF's.... I can't gather any info from that...
- Pictures! Yes I read, but if EVERY post is just words, I probably won't visit very often. Unless you have like amazing books and do equally amazing reviews!
What appeals to you guys?!
