For starters, “blog” is slang for “web log,” even though blogs aren’t web logs at all. It’s all very “KFC used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken”-esque.
That stupid pale green and yellow polka-dot blogger.com background pattern is a death knell. I would rather cough up a lung than read a blog on that crap.
If your blog is called “(YOUR NAME)’s Great Blog,” give up. And not just at blogging.
“Brevity is the soul of wit.” –William Shakespeare. The details of the bus ride to get your new cell phone battery might not top everyone’s list.
No one wants to hear you complain about other blogs. Unless you are being ironic. I leave it to you to decide which this is.
