I'm usually wearing headphones when I'm browsing blogs, it's a weird habit of mine (see quirks) so the music blasts right in my ear and scares the crap out of me. I loathe it!

There are such an over abundance of tour posts and memes that they become overwhelming when scrolling through Bloglovin. I'm excited when I see a review or discussion post!

And that personality is important, too.<br /><br />I love clean lines and minimalist design, too. Though my blog is anything but. I am looking to have that as a swapable alternative.<br /><br />I also prefer smaller paragraphs. I go against what's "right" to create smaller two-sentence paras sometimes just to make it easier to read/more visually appealing. I can't read large paragraphs of text on a computer without losing my place or interest.<br /><br />And I love a mix, too. Not just tours and memes and promo posts. Or at least if they are tours and promos, I like to see them not just be the cut/paste, but ones that include the blogger's thoughts and opinions. It's why I'm visiting the site.<br /><br />I don't mind more images than words, unless we're talking reviews. But I don't like too many animated gifs. I get dizzy.<br /><br />And I prefer, if there are ads, that they make sense to the blog. I've seen a few doozies on blogs for things that I couldn't imagine a book blogger wanting or needing. So I kept asking, WHY!?!Fiktshunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427683900301365770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941804886954871372.post-60069652879040775292013-07-15T12:20:19.991-04:002013-07-15T12:20:19.991-04:00#5 <-- YES!
