I recently updated my <a href="http://www.thearticlewriter.com/blog" rel="nofollow">automotive blog</a> by discretely adding YPN! ads to the header. Although I am still working on finding a suitable photo to go with it, I am mindful of just how cluttered any additional feature could appear to my readers. Without readers, my blog means nothing.

I switched from WordPress to a technically more interesting system (<a href="http://wymiwyg.org/knobot" rel="nofollow">Knobot</a>), but that left sorting out the appearance on the to-do list. Fortunately I think most people that read it do so from the feed, so it's not a showstopper. Maybe I should go Goth + lime green. One thing I'd add to your list is to follow the relevant (HTML, CSS, HTTP, Atom, whatever) specifications as closely as possible. This makes sense not only in terms of immediate human accessibility, meaning that more people can read your material, but also that the material will be more useful for subsequence machine-processing, such as in search engines. (Again this is something still on my to-do list...). Which blogging faux pas do you find most irritating? Polls! (Sorry :-) Heh, I’m rather amused as my blog is hopelessly ugly.
