Blogs That Scare Me Away: Part II.

Inspired by Chris Garrett’s question: Does Your Site Frighten Readers Away?, I will evaluate Copyblogger.

I clicked; the main page looked like this:

copyblogger

My first instinct was to find the content. It was right there in the center between the navigation and the ads. So far so good!

Next, I focused on the actual content. At the top, I saw an image of a messy assignment written by a student suffering from ADD. Below that was text relating a story I have heard at least twice a year since I was 7 years old.

This blog did not frighten me; it bored me. I thought: get to the point already!

Out of curiosity, I scrolled past 56 introductory words to discover the main point of this blog article. It’s this:

Omit needless words.
Uhmm… Yeah… Good advice. Why don’t you follow it?

    That was a good one. Though I like the site design and layout of copyblogger, I find the content pretty boring too. What do you feel about the other blogs which Chris asked you to do your homework on?

    I just commented on Pro-blogger. You’ll laugh when you see it. (And I love pro-blogger!)

    Quite real! I added the boxes though to show my reaction.
