Slogging Through My BlogLog

Lincoln Adams | May 31, 2007 @ 3:17 am

Ok… am I the ONLY one who gets more than a little frustrated when trying to use MyBlogLog? I understand the idea behind it, but it gets tedious clicking on a reader’s avatar, then having to click not once, but twice just to see that user’s blog, and so on. It’s just a lot of click, click, clicking every dang fricking way, and I have to hope the reader I originally clicked on posted some helpful info about who he or she is and what kind of blog he or she runs, otherwise, I’ll have no clue who or what just visited my site. It doesn’t help that the pages of user profiles and their respective blogging communities look exactly alike, making it disorienting to navigate (hmm, was I here already? I can’t tell…) Up until recently MyBlogLog didn’t even have a tags system, making the act of trying to find like minded readers and bloggers with similar interests by using the search query alone a frustrating endeavor as well. When you’re viewing a blogging community there’s a list of readers, but all you see is the username and avatar. Not very informative or helpful, especially when there’s a TON of readers. Usually I just end up clicking on avatars that depict a cute looking girl (yeah I know I’m pathetic, bite me already).

Oh well, maybe I’ll get the hang of it eventually, especially if the tagging system matures enough to make finding like-minded readers a bit more easier. :scratch:

Count me frustrated with MyBlogLog. It’s a pain in the rear, takes too much time and effort. Just my opinion.

And yet all the probloggers at least tell you this is a surefire way to build traffic and an audience. :eyeroll:

Thanks for visiting! :hello:

You’re definitely not alone in the frustrations.

I sure like the faces in my sidebar… but overall I’m just not sure I’m seeing anything of value.

And yeah, the “pros” all love it, but frankly, the referrals I see from mybloglog are down in the statistic noise category. It ain’t much.

It is kind of ironic that successful bloggers would rave about a service they say can increase readership when they’ve already established a large audience BEFORE anything like MyBlogLog came along. :nocheer:
