My Biggest Pet Peeves With Blogs

What are pet peeves? It is something a particular person finds especially annoying. In this case, the particular person is me. When I started blogging, all of 4 months ago, I had no idea what I was doing. I still am not sure if I have a handle on the blogging concept, but I hope I am heading in the right direction. In trying to find MY voice, I have looked at a lot of different blogs. Some of the blogs are about fashion, some makeup, and some are on setting up blogs. I have two pet peeves when it come to blogs. My number one pet peeve is, I HATE blogs who try to draw you in by stating a # of things involved in the post. An example of this would be my title if it said: The ONE Mistake Bloggers Make. The reason they do this, is to get the best of our curiosity. Wouldn’t you just have to know what that one mistake is, so you wouldn’t make that mistake. Every time you click on the blog, regardless of the actual information contained, it counts toward their daily page views. I actually caved in to the pressure and did a  post with a # in the title. I could have just used the same title without the # and it would have been the same. I have felt like such a sellout ever since I did that post. I may not get as many page views, but I am going to try not to use a # post just to tempt you in. I have boycotted other blogs when they do this too. The second pet peeve I have involves the email subscription link. I literally hate going to a blog, and the first time you move your cursor, a box pops up trying to get you to sign up for their emails. I get that you want subscribers, so do I, but that pop-up box is ANNOYING!!! I do ask for you to sign up for emails at the end of each post, (have you signed up), but I hope that is not as aggravating. I don’t mean to offend anyone, I am just making observations. I guess I’ll get off my soapbox and go back to talking about my clothes. HahaI wanted to have a close-up of my necklace. If you have read my posts for a while, then you have seen this necklace before. However, I hadn’t laid eyes on this necklace since I went to Tennessee for my grand babies birthday party. Here is the last time I wore it. I knew I had a tote of jewelry missing, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I woke up thinking about my jewelry and wondering where it was. I was starting to walk out of my bathroom to see if the bag had got kicked under the bed. I turned around to get my glasses, and the bag was sitting on the bottom shelve of my linen closet. (similar) Coincidence,  I don’t think so.I bought these faux suede pants at Catos before Christmas. This is the first time I have worn them, and I really liked the fit. They are extremely soft and very comfortable. They are no longer on the website, so here is a similar pair.This picture of the headless person is supposed to be the preferred pin on Pinterest. So if you don’t like my smiling mug on your Pinterst page, here is your photo. The mock turtleneck sweater is old, it is from Old Navy.The patch work suede coat is a stunner. I bought it years ago at the QVC outlet in town. I always get compliments when I wear it. It is a Denim & Company brand.The dark brown slouchy boots are also old, and came from the same QVC outlet. Haha! Sorry for rubbing it in, but my little town only got a Wal-Mart about 3 years ago, so we deserve a few shopping outlets. Lol!

This is also something I WANT and NEED:  I have added a subscription button to the blog, right under the recent posts tab. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to sign up. You will then be notified by email when a new post is made.
