Your Blog Might Suck If...
bloggingexperiment.com — I’m not sure why but Jeff Foxworthy ’s “You might be a redneck” routine always stuck with me. So, with a tip of the hat to the original, I’d like to present “Your Blog Might Suck”.

- jimbocook, on 11/10/2007, -2/+42If your most recent post is "Welcome to WordPress"
- midwest187, on 10/31/2007, -5/+4That's a funny post. I believe that most bloggers ( especially beginners ) can find themselves in that list. Nobody is perfect:P but this shouldn't be an excuse in not to improve your blog and writing.
- DtotheUG, on 10/31/2007, -8/+2Great post. Another one - Your blog might suck if you are your sites most frequent visitor.
- krets, on 11/10/2007, -0/+10Wouldn't that be the case with any well-maintained blog?
- drakenlot, on 11/10/2007, -0/+8No, it sucks if your the ONLY visitor
- tinkerbelle, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1LOL Sometimes it sure feels this way. For some reason or other, visitors prefer to subscribe to your feed quietly than let the whole world know that they visited and loved your site by commenting. But still, I'm grateful for the quiet subscribers and knowing I'm not the only one reading my content...
- tm1978, on 10/31/2007, -6/+11"If my grandfather can take a trip the bathroom before your site loads…" Hilarious!
- earlpearl, on 11/10/2007, -3/+21very funny and i really liked the idea of the long run on sentence which is something people have been telling me to watch out for for some unknown reason that i can't figure out even as i provide great information about lots of topics ranging from furniture rehabilitation to weeding during the growing months, which is exactly how a blog can get overgrown with ideas which need to be pruned on a regular basis.
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+8It was probably accidental, but you broke the run-on with a properly placed comma.
- jimbocook, on 10/31/2007, -0/+6Don't you hate it when that happens?
- tinkerbelle, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3It must be training by MS Word. They never let you go away without adding a comma before every "which". Another writer brainwashed by Bill Gates. Someone call 911 quick!
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+8It was probably accidental, but you broke the run-on with a properly placed comma.
- Wallstreet, on 10/31/2007, -3/+8Good Post. If 70% of your stories are about your Mom
- Skitzzo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+5Really? Cause 50% or even 30% wouldn't make it suck?
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2I don't know about that, some of stuff that my mom does is absolutely hilarious. It's like living through Funniest Home Videos.
- LordMaul, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1Holy ***** *****, did you just insinuate that AFV is hilarious? This is exactly why you shouldn't post about your mom...
- zerhynn, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1How DARE you insult Bob Saget, Lord. He is the lord and savior of our world!
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2I don't know about that, some of stuff that my mom does is absolutely hilarious. It's like living through Funniest Home Videos.

- andrewcsayer, on 10/31/2007, -6/+1404
- Skitzzo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7you mean if your blog returns a 404?
If you meant the site is down it's still working for me.
- Skitzzo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7you mean if your blog returns a 404?

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging! - ThinkBox, on 10/31/2007, -3/+14...if your blog talks about other lame blogs?
- drakenlot, on 11/10/2007, -0/+6if your blog is blog-spam of a blog which is blog-spam, which is blog-spam of a blog about celebrities.
- realunderdog, on 10/31/2007, -4/+9Dugg for slamming Faux noise.
- GerryBot, on 11/01/2007, -2/+7Excellent post!!! Now to give my blogs more suckage...
- izzybr, on 11/01/2007, -0/+5...if you have nothing important to say, yet you update your blog every day because you're so deluded you think people actually want to know what's going on in that pea-sized brain of yours
- BlogEx, on 11/10/2007, -0/+4such anger...
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1I think your deluded enough to think people care what you say.
- izzybr, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1I think that for as many times as people have pointed out the difference between 'your' and 'you're' people would've picked up on it by now.
Is it anal of me to mention that? I don't know, maybe. But that's what you get when your father was an English teacher - musicbear, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1I'm under no delusion that anyone reads my blog, but as a writer, just taking the time to write off the top of my head about ordinary things or faux reviews of things is good exercise and sometimes a good exorcism. I don't care that no one reads, but its like Christmas when someone does pop up in your comments or your e-mail saying, I'm from another country and I've been reading awhile and I like what you did there... Whoa. Good times.
- izzybr, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1I think that for as many times as people have pointed out the difference between 'your' and 'you're' people would've picked up on it by now.
- zan012, on 11/10/2007, -13/+7my general rule of thumb is that all blogs suck, and they are ***** gay.
- drakenlot, on 11/10/2007, -1/+4The only gay blogs are the ones who like other blogs of the same topic, or at the very least are just really happy.
- usrlocalbin, on 11/10/2007, -4/+8Your blog will suck if you keep spamming it on digg.
- drakenlot, on 11/01/2007, -1/+4Especially considering it'll be destroyed by the Digg Effect.
- torrzilla, on 10/31/2007, -0/+13If Jeff Foxworthy routines always stuck with you.
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2I hate that douche. But that's why he sticks in my mind, the stupidest crap will stick in your head the most. It's the Head-On curse.
- Firehed, on 11/10/2007, -0/+3WTF? I now have the strangest urge to apply something directly to my forehead.
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2I hate that douche. But that's why he sticks in my mind, the stupidest crap will stick in your head the most. It's the Head-On curse.
- Wiini, on 10/31/2007, -1/+13Blogs are to the 00's what the Geocities Home Page was to the 90's.
- jimbocook, on 11/01/2007, -2/+4I was an early Geocities user. Hey it was a great way to get started!
- Firehed, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4My Geocities page is still live, complete with a webcam feed that last updated around 1998. I feel awesome.
- GeekyGerge, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2Link? lol
- Firehed, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4My Geocities page is still live, complete with a webcam feed that last updated around 1998. I feel awesome.
- jimbocook, on 11/01/2007, -2/+4I was an early Geocities user. Hey it was a great way to get started!
- drakenlot, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4The best ones are the ones about grammer. I can't stand it when people can't spell. Most browsers come with a spell-checker, all you have to do is right click to fix it.
- LordMaul, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2Wow, I hope that was subtle sarcasm.
- GeekyGerge, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1*Grammar
- MasterThief117, on 11/10/2007, -1/+12Your blog may suck if it is about vacuums.
- scroogereport, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1Is there a way to increase the length of my blog? Great headline and post...BlogEx! Love ya!
- tman84, on 11/01/2007, -0/+8the word "blog" itself sucks
thank god for maddox http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=ba ... - crackedplastic, on 11/01/2007, -0/+2Your blog may suck if it consists entirely of paraphrasing other people's work (with or without a clickthrough link).
- killakan, on 11/01/2007, -1/+1Your blog might suck if you are a pretentious ass who feels he is the arbiter of all things.
- JesusDeluxe, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6buried as lame
- MLisa, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2...if it has no real content, humor or insights.
- vclortho, on 11/01/2007, -2/+2Terrible, just terrible.
- codered1322, on 11/01/2007, -1/+1... probably if you write a blog.
- princesurout, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1you took my line
- willis77, on 11/01/2007, -1/+2This list wasn't that funny or clever. It's on the frontpage because msaleem submitted it.
- offput, on 11/10/2007, -0/+5Buried as Inaccurate. My blog sucks but does not have any of those properties.
- av4rice, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4If you post a "Your Blog Might Suck If..." entry
- borg359, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1...if all your blog contains are posts on the 10 best and the 10 worst of whatever.
- bonesbrigade, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Can anyone elaborate on the Levitra jab? The second to last in the list?
- Thuktun, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Only thought one thing on that list was mildly amusing:
"If your hosting company should be doing ads for Levitra…"
Using that metaphor, Digg and Slashdot are like pictures of naked septuagenarians. (For most of us, anyway.) - john2kx, on 11/01/2007, -1/+1....you have a blog.
- zephyrTR, on 11/01/2007, -1/+1how about "your blog might suck if you take after Jeff Foxworthy"?
- Skitzzo, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1RTFA - that was the last one on the list
- adwb, on 11/01/2007, -2/+0From the article:
If your color scheme looks like a Disney character exploded….
If you RandOmly cAPItaliZE lettERs THROUghout YOur posts…
If my grandfather can take a trip the bathroom before your site loads…
If you’ve never met a widget or plugin you didn’t like…
If you have more ads than a Nascar race…
If you update once per presidential administration….
If you think punctuation is optional…
If your do-m-ai-n-na-me has more dashes than the Olympics…
If you spell like an illiterate 13 yo gril trieing 2 snd a txt msg…
If you tend to use big long run on sentences and never bother to break your content into paragraphs or format the text with headers or spaces or anything of the sort and would never dare to use a picture or two you know just something nice to look at thus resulting in a huge big long boring and bland block of text that could cure the worst case of insomnia just by having to look at it….
If your idea of “fair and balanced” is Fox News…
If your hosting company should be doing ads for Levitra…
And last but certainly not least, if you have to steal content ideas from Jeff Foxworthy…
