Chris Garrett, part of the Performancing team
(and yes, I’m using Performancing to post
this entry – love it), had posted a great article on 10 ten reasons why people drop
you feed. Here’s the high level:
- Hardly post and when you do it is to apologise for not posting
-
Re-post boingboing or some other popular
blog, or copy and paste press releases - Only ever write when in a bad mood, drunk or have nothing to say
- Constant unrelenting negativity
- Bang on about the same old gripe day after day
- Talk down to your audience like they are idiots
- Be incomprehensible
- Be elitist
- Be needy
- Constant irrelevance
There’s more meat at the actual article, and all-in-all it’s great advice for anyone
running a blog. Thanks Chris!
