A Great Blog?

[BJ Davis]

What do you feel makes up a great blog? What elements cause you to become a "follower"

[BJ Davis]

I've taken a lot of those things off of mine, but it's still pretty full. Sometimes I wonder if it is hard to access.

[Nicole Jablonski]

I try to follow people that have a similar taste in books because I find that this usually leads to me having something in common with them. I am also drawn to those who write well, with wit and humor. I'd like to get to know more bloggers who like to correspond with each other, because I'm really looking for a kind of community feeling.

[Emily Veinglory]

I follow blogs with timely information that I am interested in and/or that are funny.

I love blogs that are updated, as others say, but I also like blogs which don't make me jump through tons of hoops to do anything. For instance to win a book I must add them to my blogroll, I must subscribe to them, I must put the posts on my Facebook, twitter, and such and then have 4/5 other things I have to do in order to get entry into the contest/giveaway. Make it simple. I often forget to return to see who won, I visit so many but I will get busy and check just one or two then have to get offline. So the easier it is to follow the better. I won't follow blogs that are negative, or that continuly ask me to donate to this or to donate to that. I like blogs that offer variety.

But really there has to be something I want to know about.

I'm hoping mine follow this, but I always worry I have too much or too little or that it's too busy. I hate blogs that keep sending me pop-ups or have ads everywhere on it but no true opinions.

great question!

I totally agree. I don't like to jump thru several hoops on book giveaways

I like to learn something when reading a blog. I've gone back to sites where I learned something valuable and wanted to see if they had something else for me to learn. For me, it's a time to learn from others.

[BJ Davis]

I like that thought.
