Though I do strongly dislike bad spelling and grammar, my biggest pet peeve is autoplay music, especially when there's no option to turn it off.Sara Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18193190002627911749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196946749534824570.post-47575203316431283312010-08-27T21:21:26.619-04:002010-08-27T21:21:26.619-04:00Ack, first comment was eaten when I submitted it. ...Ack, first comment was eaten when I submitted it. Let's see if I can remember what all I wrote...<br /><br />I think you have a good point, definitely, about misspellings, grammatical errors (glaring ones at any rate), and lack of line breaks can be a huge turn off for any blog - not just a writer's!<br /><br />I do tend to think of an author's site as a sample of what to expect in their books.<br /><br />I tend to like functional sites that are easy to navigate but have a bit of pizazz. Do I always have that on mine? No... but I try to start simple before building up too much.<br /><br />Some sites are too flashy which can intimidate commenters. Other sites are too cluttered or not very user friendly. They can definitely affect my opinion before I get a chance to really see what they have to offer... which is a shame.Ciarahttp://www.ciaradallas.comnoreply@blogger.com
