15 Bloggy Appeals
- Design. I love when a good blog has an amazing design.
- The blogger. A good blogger is really important in keeping me interested.
- Easy navigation. I don’t want to jump through hoops to look at your posts.
- Content. Content is key. It has to be something I’m interested in or like to want to follow/return.
- Update frequency. A dormant blog is not a friendly blog.
- Coloring. It’s a simple thing, but the right colors used really can draw a person it.
- Style. The blogger’s style is important especially when reading a post. If they do something creative and different I’m definitely going to be a return visitor.
- Humor. I like a good sense of humor when reading a post.
- Professionalism. In that humor though, be professional. Don’t be rude to people that may stop by with profanity or other things.
- Fun. You can be professional while also being fun. Show who you are.
- Link-up/Challenges. I love me a good link-up/challenge. Really gets you involved with other bloggers and gets a blog to be known.
- Giveaways. Sure, everyone loves to win stuff, I know I do. But I like the fun ones that mix it up.
- Graphics. A good graphic can go a long way. It brings attention to some things and is fun. Just use them in moderation.
- Comment replies. I know, some blogs are bigger than others, but I like when a blogger takes the time to comment on something I said to them. I don’t get to everyone myself, but it is a nice touch to see it in a comment thread.
- Relatability. I need to be able to relate to the person, what they are blogging about, and what they like.
So what are your Bloggy Appeals? Anything different than mine?

Comment responses are also important to me. It makes me feel sad if I am ignored =P
Great post by the way, we share a lot of similarities!
I try to reply to as many comments as I can because I want the readers to know I’m reading them. š
Thanks for stopping by.
