Welcome to Tough Love for Blogs

Do you ever happen onto a blog and blink rapidly? Wonder what the blogger was thinking when they chose that layout? Wonder what went wrong? A blog that you can't read because of the way it looks?

I will admit...YES! Okay. I don't read blogs with black backgrounds and white lettering. I have to squint. It's a personal issue. I know.

But often I run across a blog that makes me want to email the person and apply a little tough love.




We're going to start with Aaron Whomsley, handyman. Aaron is using the tag cloud. There's probably a reason. Maybe it increases his hits on searches. Does anyone know the true purpose of a tag cloud??

Why not use just categories? I have a hard time reading the tag cloud or finding anything of any sense in there. Am I wrong to hate the tag cloud?

Have you seen a blog that makes you take pause? Share it with me!
